THE “CLOUD PEOPLE” OF OAXACA
Something ancient. And mystical. Something familial. And familiar. Those somethings whisper from the state of Oaxaca, 300 miles south of Mexico City, where the Mixteca people, once the major players in Mesoamerica, built a thriving civilization whose name means "cloud people" in the indigenous language of Nahuatl. It is from here, in an earthly place below the clouds, that Mexican artist Irving Herrera draws his inspiration. His voice is firmly intertwined with that of Oaxaca, speaking with an intense sense of self.
