Santiago de la Torre Velasco learned to weave from the first masters he ever knew—his  mother, grandmother, and aunts. In a tradition where textile knowledge has long been  passed from women to women, he embraced the backstrap loom and became part of  that living lineage. Today, working alongside the women of his extended family,  Santiago creates richly brocaded textiles that honor the artistic heritage of Venustiano  Carranza while demonstrating that tradition grows stronger when it is shared across  generations and beyond conventional roles.
