FOFA is pleased to announce our partnership with Brooklyn-based Mexican entrepreneurs who have launched “This is Latin America,” an online and brick-and-mortar store selling handcrafted items from Mexico and points south. They share our love for the culture and folk art created by indigenous people in Mexico, and of course Oaxaca in particular (see their “Oaxaca Collection”). This new gallery reflects a deep respect for the talent of indigenous artists and a desire to contribute to the preservation of generations-old traditions by compensating artists fairly and giving attribution and recognition to the individuals who create extraordinary art.
“This is Latin America” has offered to support FOFA’s work by organizing a special holiday fundraiser. Five percent of all sales from December 9-11 will be donated to FOFA. Click here to see their wonderful collection and make your online purchases:
The team at “This is Latin America” is deeply appreciative of FOFA’s efforts and has committed to reaching out to the artists with whom we work during their next shopping trip to Oaxaca, possibly in January. We welcome this new partnership!
