Look I made a Codex! Stephanie our fearless leader asked me to come up with a model for teachers to see. Yasmin and I researched for a few hours (over tacos, sodas, chips, guacomole and a pkg of gum for $4US). Next night I painted for a few hours. Bars mean "5" a dot is "1". Starting from the right the pic is "rulers", then "dog" I made up "bus", then "eagles", "monkeys" (couldn't find men or women pics). Then sneaker (made that one up) person with a curl, which means speech, last is the place pictograph for the town of Coixtlahuaca. So this is what it says;"4 professors took one bus and saw 8 dogs with 7 eagles and 27 monkeys. Two people had to run (they missed the bus) they are saying #*! we missed the bus to Coixtlahuaca!
Using a computer to get Zapotec pictographs to make the codex. How's that for culture contrast.
In the Burgoa Library Restoration lab of Santo Domingo Museum. He is using a template to create new paper so he can patch up old manuscripts.
I found a youth orchestra! No black outfits in Mexico! They are all in pink. Beautiful, strong sound, and the percussionist is a little girl.
Just in case you want to try putting your hair up Oaxacan style. This is how they do it.
The stage behind Santo Domingo, a free performance every night. So far I've seen a Salsa group, a youth marimba group, this group and an "Aztec Warrior" group.
Street art in front of Santo Domingo. Those are not real feet. Love the idea of the "house" especially beacause there is not one house here in Oaxaca designed like that. It is the generic "house" you see drawn by children all over the world.
