How did Maya artists create ceramics and paints? What kinds of aesthetic ideals informed their techniques? Can we identify different workshops, potters, and painters?

Thousands of Oaxaqueños just marched to LA City Hall with signs like “Fuck your Eurocentric beauty standards” and “Resign Cedillo and de León.” Now they’re dancing to a live jarabe band in front of City Hall

The council members forgot Oaxacans don’t just live in Koreatown. California is home to the 16 indigenous languages spoken in Oaxaca, we are in every neighborhood of the golden state and we are all coming together to protest Latino racism. Invisible no more. – at Los Angeles, CA

No press is talking about @CD6Nury @kdeleon @cmgilcedillo @RonHerrera_396 anti-indigenity, which is called indigenous erasure. The 4 leaders contribute to the violence and racism against indigenous peoples.

As a Zapotec Professor, born and raised in Koreatown, I am appalled to hear LA City Council members blatant racial attacks. Many of us Indigenous Oaxacans, however, are not surprised to hear this racial violence from non-Indigenous Latinx and Mexicans! It happens EVERYDAY!
