Mari is currently in an exhibition at the Meueo de Art Popular in Mexico City together with other members of her Oaxaca collectivo. An exploration of immigration in the puebla of Tanivet, the exhibition is the product of many hours spent meeting local families, collecting their histories, and then documenting them in photographs and paintings. These are two of Mari's contributions.

On Thursday, August 7, The Worcester Center for Crafts will launch a unique exhibit that will take viewers on an artistic journey through a world of storytelling. Titled “Ambient Folklore,” the exhibit will provide visual narratives of nine artists, available for exploration and explication by viewers.
“The word ambient talks about something relating to the immediate surrounding of something else,” says Honee Hess, executive director for the Worcester Center for Crafts. "Ambient Folklore is sort of: What are the ideas that are surrounding us that we call from past folklore or that we are using in art to create new folklores? It's all about the things that are around us that are influencing how we make art and how we tell stories through art.”

We're delighted that an article about our workshop is featured in the September issue of Budget Travel. The author is two time Art In Oaxaca alumnus Joan Gage. It's called "Indulge Your Passion" and it describes a course Joan took with us in February last year.
Unfortunately the article is in a supplement only sent to Budget Travel subscribers, not in their newstand publication or at their website. Which is why we're providing a link where you can download a copy. Just click here.
It's our first appearance in print so please have a look. Thanks!
