Der UN-Menschenrechtsausschuss hat geurteilt, dass Guatemala mit der erzwungenen Fortsetzung einer Schwangerschaft, infolge einer Vergewaltigung, die Rechte der 13-jährig. Fátima verletzt hat. Das wegweisende Urteil ist ein wichtiger Schritt zum Schutz der Rechte von Frauen & Mädchen in #Guatemala.

#BlueskyArtShow #Relax Drifting in the water... #EastCoastKin #Boat #Guatemala #ColorADay #GreenSat

We are relaxing in a wooden boat, drifting along in the lake. The boat is a bright aqua with red trim and blue wooden benches. It's tipped at a slight angle. The lake water is green and the sky has threatening thunderclouds, but the sun is shining on the boat. Guatemala

Incense burner terracotta, pigments c. 700-1000 CE Late Classic to early Post Classic Maya Guatemala #handmade #art #ancientart #ancientpottery #chac #godofrain #Mayaculture #religion #belief #ritual #precolumbian #prehispanic #mesoamerica #guatemala #terracotta #incenseburner #sculpture #maya

This two-part incense burner combines, on its body, the face of the god Chac and, on its lid, the figure of a priest wearing the deity's mask, establishing a direct connection between the god and the officiant. Chac, the Maya god of rain and atmospheric phenomena, occupied a central place within the Maya pantheon, closely associated with the fertility of the land and the agricultural cycle.
In ritual practice, priests could wear the attributes or mask of a deity in order to embody its presence during ceremonies. The incense burner was used for burning resins, particularly copal, whose smoke accompanied invocations and facilitated communication with the divine realm.
The work is distinguished by the monumental scale of its
composition and the richness of its decoration, where the superimposition of figures reflects a structured conception of ritual and of the relationship between humanity and the gods.

Visité una cooperativa de mujeres tejedoras en San Juan de la Laguna #Guatemala. Hilan el algodón, usan tintes naturales, telares de cintura y diseños propios. Me enterneció que en la etiqueta de cada prenda figura la foto y el nombre de la mujer que la tejió, y de la fundadora, como homenaje.
