Until 2022, she was a professor at the Autonomous University of Morelos Mexico, and is currently a research professor at the Ricardo Palma University (Lima, Peru). Dr. Quiroz is an expert in fabrics and textiles from northern Peru. She has published various works on the subject and takes an interdisciplinary focus on women artisans and their memories and knowledge. Her latest publication, <em>Mujeres de qallwa</em>, is a journey, not only into the world of weaving, but also into the stories of resilience and transmission of this ancestral knowledge by the artisans in her hometown, San Miguel, Cajamarca.</p><p>	<strong>María Celidonia Chuquijajas Saman </strong>is an artisan from San Miguel, Cajamarca, Peru. She is a specialist in backstrap loom weaving and in six additional complementary weaving techniques, all of which are of Prehispanic origin. María helps maintain this tradition that dates back more than 3000 years ago and continues to use these traditions in her daily and ritual life. Moreover, she sells her art within and outside of Cajamarca to generate income for her family. “For me, weaving has a lot of significance. It’s my profession, and I’m able to teach others about it. Moreover, it’s income for my family.”</p><p>	<strong>Laura Sánchez Carhuajulca</strong> is an artisan from Tacabamba, Chota, Peru, who is an expert in and teacher of ikat. She uses cotton as the primary material to produce pañones, a typical textile from Cajamarca that is traditionally used in the costumes for the traditional dances in the coastal region, in particular, La Libertad, Lambayeque, and Piura. “For me, weaving is my passion, and it lets us support our families and share our experiences.”</p><p>	<em>Presented by <a data-url="https://anthropology.fas.harvard.edu" href="https://anthropology.fas.harvard.edu" title="">Harvard Department of Anthropology</a></em></p>
