And the food is quite good as well.
Incidentally, this is a pretty important work by tlacolulokos, a group of young artists, DarĂo Canul, Cosijoesa Cernas and Eleazar Machucho, all from Tlacolula. Here's a bit about them.
Their work is based on marginal contexts, in which stands out the representation of violence, crime, santeria, the social decomposition and tourist debauchery that happens in the State of Oaxaca, and shows the other side of the so-called "paradise cities"Look a little closer at these ladies from Tlacolula.
These are the same artists who did this mural right near the entrance to the Sunday market.
Wonderful detail work.
The women of Tlacolula carry these large heavy canastas in all calendas and processions, so this is a very accurate and traditional image.
Again, looking a bit closer at the details.
Oaxaca street art, some of the strongest and best anywhere.
Rosie the Riveter tlacolulokos style
