T
he best known works of
the Huicholes are the "worsted
paintings" that are unique and
complex creations because they
are made by pressing multiple
strands of yarn into a ceremonial
board called Nearika, that is cove-
red by a sticky wax.
The works of art of the Hui-
chol people are exposed and sold
as if they were made in a group.
They are not recognized as Mexi-
can artists because of their indige-
nous status, within the absurd
racism that never disappears.
