Based in Chimaltenango, Aj Quen is one of the largest collectives of artisan weavers in Guatemala, uniting both men and women across four Mayan groups in this rich cultural tradition, and offers continual training to improve production methods and preserve this art and piece of history so integral to Guatemalan heritage. 

Bisenta and the stories of the Cakchiquel women of the weaving co-op in Solola are steeped with the heartache and resilience of living during an upheaval and civil war, as well as the beauty of a multi-generational tapestry of shared experiences woven together by mothers, daughters, and granddaughters.
