9th august International Day of Indigenous Peoples

So... I been collaborating on an Instagram art group named @div.ulgarte. We are a small mexican art students, and all this week we been making content about a Mexican Female Photographer Graciela Iturbide, who always work with indigenous people, and I make a tribute of one of her most famous photos, “Our Lady of the Iguanas” ("Nuestra Señora de las Iguanas") from Juchitán Mex.

More info from the photo.

“Our Lady of the Iguanas", Juchitán México 1979, series of photographs; these portray a woman from Juchitán called Zobeida Díaz, who that day was selling iguanas to make stew or to fill tamales, as is customary in Juchitán, within the market. Graciela says that Zobeida was a very hard-working woman who sold every product that she could get in order to support her family. Zobeida is an icon of the empowered and strong woman, who, without fear of raising her family afloat, carried live animals on her head.

No soy muy dado a dar consejos, pienso que todos descubrimos en algún momento qué cosa es lo que tenemos que hacer, cómo debemos ser, estar en el mundo y cada quien escoge su camino; no podría decir a la gente 'este es el camino' o 'no hay más ruta que la mía'.
