At Ayzoh!, our mission to stand alongside marginalized communities naturally brings us to this remarkable event. Here, in the intricate textiles, lacquered gourds, copper pieces, and woven palm fronds, we witness the profound connection between art, heritage, and survival.
These crafts carry deep symbolic meaning—syncretic designs reflecting spiritual and ancestral roots. For these communities, their art is a voice, a story, and a way of asserting their place in a complex social landscape.
Ayzoh! supports these artisans not only because their work deserves recognition, but because their struggle to maintain their identity resonates deeply with our own values.
By being present at the Tianguis de Domingo de Ramos, we amplify their voices, document their resilience, and celebrate the extraordinary beauty they create—ensuring that their stories are seen, heard, and honored across the globe.
