HI - This year will be a important year for the Mexican textile project. Some goals include a minimum of 20 villages per month with a concentration on the State of Mexico and Vera Cruz. Look for more Nahuas of Hidalgo also.
I have also started a vlog or video blog for everyones enjoyment. http://mexico_culture.blip.tv/ check it out. There is one post on it now but I expect to have more when I get back to Mexico.
Pending are the new villages from Chicotepec Vera Cruz and the new villages and collection textiles from the Nahua regions of Hidalgo .
About Bob
- Mexican Indigenous textiles
- Santa Rosa, Ca., United States
- My mission in life is to document the disappearing textiles of Mexico. I work on this full time and enjoy every minute of it. My background gives me a unique set of talents to allow me to do this work. I learned photography from my father, my university study was in history, my work experience was electronics and computers and personality type is A+. I love to drive on back roads and discover new things about Mexico. In the US people ask “how do you make money from this?” and in Mexico people ask “who pays you to do this?” Well being from the counter culture, the answers are simple, I don’t make money doing this and no one pays me.
