In this book, Gimena Romero embarks on a personal journey to Tenango de Doria, Mexico, to discover one of the country’s most iconic embroidery traditions. Through memories, encounters, and reflections, she creates a sensitive portrait of the community and of embroidery as an expression of identity and cultural heritage.
Illustrated with photographs of the vibrant Tenango embroideries, filled with animals, flowers, and human figures, the book is both documentary and inspirational in nature. It also includes a brief introduction to the three fundamental stitches of this traditional embroidery technique.
