This research presents the exploration of weave knowledge through the memories of Misak weaver Mamas older than 50 years after the second half of the 20th century, in the Guambia shelter, municipality of Silvia, Cauca, Colombia. In fact, the fabric is considered as the scenario in which memories are conveyed that represent constructions of gender, territory and worldview, such that they induce to inquire about whether the weave is a "vehicle of memory" in which the Mamas weave strategies of transmitting knowledge to new generations. Consequently, I offer this work as an attempt to present a reflection on the fabric and this seen as a visual communication means that denotes the affiliation to an ethnic group, knowledge of gender, status, geographic spaces among others and in whose framework there is a transmission of knowledge
