Catalina Almazán creates a cultural garden with flowers made with a very special material: the corn husks used to make tamales.
The flowers are made by hand, and her goal is to inspire future generations so that this tradition is not forgotten.“I give you my love, my affection and that passion for colors,” Almazán said, to whom the colors remind her of her beloved Oaxaca, especially the Mixtec region where corn husks are part of the culture.
She said it all started during the pandemic. Since then, she has shared the technique with friends and students. For the second year in a row, she will teach the children who will participate in the “Oye” conference for indigenous youth. Each flower brings her immense joy, but her satisfaction is even greater when she thinks about her goal: a future in which culture is not forgotten.“I do it to rescue that lost treasure, the truth, and keep it present and practiced in our generation,” says the artisan.
