Mexican Huichol Indians design bead Volkswagen Beetle
Posted by rod - 15.08.2011
How long do you reckon it must of taken the Mexican indigenous group “Huichol” to design and decorate this 1990s Volkswagen Beetle with beads and fabric? I reckon more than half a year.
The cars name is “Vochol” and is a combination of “Vocho,” a popular term for Volkswagen Beetles in Mexico, and “Huichol”, a Mexican indigenous group. The Huichol community live in the states of Nayarit and Jalisco and are famous for their traditional beads and fabric craftsmanship. During an exhibition on Huichol culture at the Museum of Puebla, near Mexico City the tribe created this masterpiece which will be auctioned off after being exhibited in Paris and Berlin next year.
