Kites: Years
built 632 days ago
The average dimensions of one of these kites was about five meters in diameter, but at times, one could and di exceed nine. Ten young men, more or less, collaborated in the production of each kite. Yet, even with so many involved, it took between six to eight weeks to finish the project. It was said that it was about the same amount of time their women used weaving a huipil. But this was like an adventure in avant-garde art. The kites lasted only one afternoon; the huipils, on the other hand, last for many years.
