Sacred Weaving: The Ancient Art of Ojo de Dios (Tzikuri)

Join us at Lume for a special two-part workshop exploring the ancient Mexican practice of Tzikuri (Ojo de Dios / Eye of God), guided by multidisciplinary artist and practitioner Andria Pablo (Xiuh).

Originating with the Wirrarika peoples of Mexico, the Tzikuri is a sacred object woven as a talisman of protection, balance, and creation. Across two evenings, Andria will share the rich cultural history and traditional practices of this art form—exploring how we can weave these ancient understandings into our modern lives as we come together to create a giant, communal Tzikuri for Lume and our Moana.
