Ancestral Synergy: Hands that Connect History, Identity and Future
"Each piece is a testimony to our roots, an act of resistance and an invitation to proudly bear a living history."
Who are we?
We are women from indigenous communities in Mexico, whose voices are intertwined in every thread we weave. Our hands create textile pieces that tell stories of identity, resistance and transformation. At the NUDO 6/6 Collective, we bring to life an ancestral synergy that intertwines the knowledge of our ancestors with the innovation of contemporary design. We have traveled this path in collaboration with organizations that have strengthened our capabilities and with designers who, from respect and co-creation, have contributed new perspectives to expand our textile expressions.

Vancouver Fashion Week 2025
Today, our voices resonate beyond our communities, reaching global spaces such as Vancouver Fashion Week, where we show the world that fashion can also be an act of memory, dignity and sustainability. Each creation is an act of autonomy, a declaration of who we are and where we are going.
Direct Impact: Your Purchase, An Act of Transformation
At Juxta, as a social enterprise, we are committed to the proper inclusion of us Mayan Tsotsil and Tseltal artisans women and our cooperatives, which we participate as producers, partners and owners of the platform. The model is based on three pillars: the ethical cost of the product, an equitable share of net profits and reinvestments in corporate social responsibility. This approach seeks to maximize economic benefits for us, promoting sustainability and our personal, family and community development. Currently, we collaborate with 83 women artisans from Chiapas, specialized in backstrap loom, brocade and embroidery. Since our launch in June 2021, we promote transparency, traceability and horizontal relationships to promote our strengthening.
Supported by organizations, designers, and members of the collective who walk alongside us, we build bridges of collaboration, creativity, and resilience.
