Besides working on landing our vision within the elements of our genre, it’s necessary as well to consider how are we choosing to do so in terms of characters.
You see, there are many ways to advance with the literal art of loom. Some artists choose to dance primarily with the Wichawichawe; the vertical canes or sticks, others choose to work mainly with Kelow; the horizontal ones. The process that’s followed comes from tradition, which dates back to… well, it really depends. Some think the Greeks were the first to work with the loom. Others trace back its origins to a region in Chile inhabited by Mapuchees. As for the latter mentioned, the origins of their art is recounted by a cosmic myth involving the weaver of nature, Mother Spider: Lalen Kuze. She is who weaved the first women whose origin was Mapuchee. So is how the wisdom of this art was transmitted from generation to generation. There are many myths and thereafter hypothesis of who were the first to work with the art of loom. I’ve found that each and every one of the myths have women involved as the protagonists.
“The art of loom is a clear manifestation of the great importance that women have as transmitters of life and culture in society”.
And up till recently it has begun their recognition world-wide.
A humming of fumes interlaced in March 25, 1911. To weave what might be viewed as tragedy provided for an opening for the Feminine Hemisphere to raise from the dust of misunderstood reason. In the early stages of the 20th century, 146 women were “victims” of the poor management of the safety conditions in Triangle Shirtwaist, a fabric of textiles in New York. It gave raise to a series of events like the O.N.U. establishing the celebration of the International Women’s Day (for further information on the incident of 1911 check out this article… it is rather pessimistic but of progressive fashion… it provides for a timeline of the series of events that fueled women recognition just well).
Alors... I’m choosing to have all the characters of our Film Opening to be women. It would promote the quoted idea previously included and would also show a correlation to all the different myths of the literal art of loom for they portray mainly women. It would blend neatly as well with what I shared a couple of posts ago; how Mexicans choose to utilize nature-based colors offered from Mother Earth.
Getting the gist of it? No worries in further posts we’ll clarify the essence of the conclusion of this one. See you later :)

I think you do a great job incorporating your voice into all of your posts. I like that you write these posts on a more personal level to have the readers connect with you. Also most of your posts show great analysis of the sources you have chosen. On the most recent post you assure your readers that you will clarify the characters that you are choosing later. This is a great idea that I will start using on my blog to assure my readers that future posts will clarify what I am posting about. Overall, I think your blog has a very clean and sophisticated look that has great information about your film opening.
