The Huicholes are a mexican indeginous community located in the midwest, in the states of Jalisco, Nayarit, Durango and Zacatecas. Their art is strongly rooted in divinity and spirituality. Their unique designs and colours are based on experiences related with the peyote (hallucinogen), which is a main element in religious rituals. The huichol art can be considered a writing method since, through their creations, the huicholes share their stories and myths, letting us into a piece of their lives.
