Paz Joven Guatemala is an organization focused on promoting the abilities and potential of young leaders and the local, regional and national level in Guatemala.
Trama Textiles is an association of artisan women backstrap loom weavers in Guatemala. We work directly with 400 women from 17 weaving cooperations across 5 regions in the western highlands of Guatemala; Sololá, Huehuetenango, Sacatepéquez, Quetzaltenango and Quiché.
We are a mixed, interdisciplinary team committed to transforming the unequal reality of Guatemala; a team committed to artivism and digital media as tools to achieve it. Artivism as a recovery of artistic action for immediate social intervention; and digital media as a resource that has caused profound changes in the production of content and democratization of information and communication channels; giving rise to digital activism, community journalism and linking digital media with social collectives generating powerful and comprehensive alliances throughout Latin America.
