minivibe | Mujeres del Barro Rojo

A tribute to the ancestral wisdom of the women of Tlapazola, Oaxaca. Taken for Fundación En Vía, an organization empowering Zapotec women with interest-free microloans. Their nonprofit organizes tours of local artisans, which is how they generate the funding for female entrepreneurs throughout Tlacolula Valley. I wanted to show the inherent joy felt from doing a craft that comes from your soul. The Mujeres del Barro Rojo iare world famous for their red pottery, taught through generations of Tías, Doña and Abuelitas in their community.
