-In this new body of work,
Lazo celebrates the textile traditions
of the Zapotec people in Oaxaca
that he learned about as a child from his mother.
Ancestral weaving is a cornerstone of Zapotec culture
and has been passed down for over 2,000 years as a way
to preserve their stories through textiles.
♪♪
Lazo pays homage to this heritage
by incorporating symbols of sewing and weaving,
such as spools of thread and spinning wheels,
and intertwining them with the faces of children
who carry these traditions forward.
