Guadalajara strengthens its cultural and tourist offer, promoting the recognition of craftsmanship and regional community. The craftsmanship of Etzatlán is now present in the heart of the city with the installation of an aerial mural on the Pedro Moreno walkway, between Ramón Corona and Maestranza, in the Historic Center of Guadalajara. This work is created by the collective "Tejiendo Juntos por Etzatlán", a group dedicated to making aerial murals from woven raffia mats. The director highlighted that these actions allow both locals and visitors to learn about the craftwork done in the state's municipalities, showcasing these expressions as authentic handmade works of art. The mural's designs are inspired by geometric patterns such as hexagons, known as "the grandmother's garden", an idea that the collective creatively adapts with color for each project. Evelia, a member of the collective, stated that this project has not only aesthetic but also social value: "Thanks to this, many elderly women, above all, find a livelihood for their families." In turn, the director of Order and Governance of the General Coordination of the Historic Center Superintendent, Alfredo Pérez Padilla, emphasized that these actions contribute to attracting more tourism and enriching the cultural offer in the heart of Guadalajara. "In the case of the aerial mural, it helps to beautify these spaces even more."
