    Manuel Chavajay é artista de origem Maia Tz'utujil, que utiliza a linguagem artística para resgatar e fortalecer sua cultura ancestral. Sua pesquisa trabalha as sabedorias da cosmovisão Maia, através da espiritualidade e da conexão com a natureza, não apenas como veículos de cura, mas também como resistência às ameaças da contemporaneidade e às memórias de um passado marcado pela violência dos conflitos armados na Guatemala.
