Oaxaca Handicrafts Mexico

Heritage & Handicrafts: Oaxaca is a community-based project that aims to deepen connections between cultural heritage handicraft entrepreneurs in Mexico and markets for their goods. Working with our community partner, the Center co-creates research and training activities and utilizes Smithsonian platforms to enhance market access and awareness of Oaxaca’s craft heritage. All activities aim to increase intergenerational skills and knowledge transmission and, ultimately, strengthen the stewardship of local cultural heritage sites.
Heritage and Handicrafts is a collaboration with the Cultural Heritage Center in the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, U.S. Department of State.
