The award-winning photographs will be published in the new book Oaxaca Stories in Cloth, a Book about People, Belonging, Identity, and Adornment. In the words of Ana Paula Fuentes, the founding director of the Textile Museum of Oaxaca, “…nothing like this exists in Mexico or the world. It is a jewel of a textile registry, but done artistically, with sensitivity, with ingenuity and with love.”
