H uichol Art
By Isis Bobadilla
H
uichol art is an ancestral wonder, it is sort of apocrypha
of the trips of the shamans Huicholes to other worlds, to the celebration of
the Peyote (hikuri), that is the adoration to Sacred Cactus, to get to touch
the divine and ethereal. The symbols in this art tell great stories and legends
of times past.
Huichol art is analyzed in another way, - it has nothing to do with con-
temporary art found in museums and galleries; The Huicholes have a very
different image of the world.
