EL PAPEL PROHIBIDO que sobrevivió siglos | Papel ámate el papel de los curanderos

#AmatePaper #MexicanHistory #Handmade In the mountains of the Sierra Norte of Puebla, there is a town that refused to forget. San Pablito, Pahuatlán, is one of the few places where amate paper continues to be made as it has been for centuries. This paper, considered sacred by the indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica, was used in rituals, codices, and ceremonies. During the colonial period, its use was prohibited, but the tradition survived in silence, passed down from generation to generation as an act of cultural resistance. In this video, we explore the history, the artisanal process, and the profound meaning of amate paper, made from the bark of the jonote tree, hand-beaten, and transformed into living memory. Here, they don't just make paper. Here, they continue to write the history of Mexico, sheet by sheet.
