Plastic artist and cultural manager Melissa Avila and artisan and weaving specialist Lucrecia García are just two of the artists behind M.A Estudio. The project was born out of a shared love of ancient, artisan traditions and techniques in the hope of preserving them throughout the generations while also creating job opportunities. They use a combination of contemporary art and design methods and stunning ancestral practices passed down through Mexican families, with a strong emphasis on fair trade, social responsibility, and environmental protection.
They currently operate in several communities across Oaxaca, Chiapas, and Mexico City where they work closely with Mexican artisans with a range of traditional specialties.
