They learned by observing their mothers and grandmothers, and today they continue to safeguard a tradition that was once at serious risk.
For many years, this heritage faced multiple challenges: a declining number of apprentices, limited economic return, and restricted access to suitable materials.
A major turning point came in 2023, when the technique was inscribed on UNESCO’s List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding. Since then, significant progress has been made through joint institutional and community efforts.
These advances include the return to locally produced Paraguayan cotton, ensuring autonomy and long-term sustainability; the establishment of a Safeguarding School to transmit knowledge to new generations; and the development of a Poncho Interpretation Centre that will soon form part of the city’s museum.
This video pays tribute to the women who continue to sustain this living heritage and to all those working towards its protection and transmission.
