Originario de Yunan en China, el pueblo Akha vive en las colinas del norte de Tailandia. Las mujeres Akha son bien conocidas por sus espectaculares trajes tradicionales que incluyen un tocado, una chaqueta que se usa sobre una prenda tipo halter, una falda corta, una faja con extremos decorados y calzas. La artesana de Akha, Thikaporn, se enorgullece de presentar este impresionante tocado, hecho a mano por su propia madre, Sadaporn. Ella adorna el tocado de algodón con innumerables cuentas y colgantes de aluminio, así como monedas tailandesas que datan de 1952 a 1965. Cuentas de colores brillantes talladas en boj y vidrio, así como plumas, completan el impresionante diseño de este tocado.

El pueblo Akha es una cultura orgullosa y atemporal, que lucha por preservar sus valores ancestrales a través de sus habilidades y conocimientos tradicionales. Los Akha creen en la continuidad y se ven a sí mismos como un eslabón en la cadena de la vida, que incluye el nacimiento, la procreación, la preservación del estilo de vida Akha, que venera la vida familiar, y la muerte, vista como un encuentro con sus ancestros.

Preserving Traditions

Preserving Traditions

"I am a member of the Akha hill tribe. My father crafted décor accents, and traveled to Bangkok to sell them. I began working with handwoven bulrush handbags, embellished with Northern Thai patterned fabrics and the creative embroidery unique to the Akha people, who are skillful at needlework. Akha people earned very little from their routine work because their education level is not high, and some have no education at all. I am very happy to show what my people can do."
