The Memorial Quilt
The Río Negro Memorial Quilt was woven in August 2008 by fifteen weavers from the resettlement village of Pacux, Rabinal, Baja Verapaz to commemorate family members who died during a series of genocidal massacres perpetrated by the Guatemalan Army in and around the Maya Achí village of Río Negro between 1981 and 1982. We invite you to read through the profiles of each weaver and the family member(s) she has commemorated.
