Hilos Que Hablan Textile Legacy & Life of Mariana Ornelas
Honor Mariana Ornelas and see the beautiful textile legacy she gifted the Esperanza (Huipils are still available for purchase) Exhibit and Sale continues until Friday, May 10 2019
Started in 1995 and operating out of a house in San Antonio’s Westside, the MujerArtes Women’s Clay Cooperative has been among Esperanza’s groundbreaking programs for 18 years.
The “Corazones de Esperanza” a part of the Esperanza Peace and Justice Center community, is comprised of a group of sabia/os or “wise ones,” who are keepers of community stories and memories.
The people of Esperanza dream of a world where everyone has civil rights and economic justice, where the environment is cared for, where cultures are honored and communities are safe. The Esperanza advocates for those wounded by domination and inequality — women, people of color, the lesbian, gay, trans and queer community, the working class and poor. We believe in creating bridges between people by exchanging ideas and educating and empowering each other. We believe it is vital to share our visions of hope… we are esperanza.
