Village of Etla with a mixture of ancient Aztec symbols and stylize modern motifs.

Village of Zipolite wall with whales... this was one of many villages in the area that actively fished giant turtles, but gave it all up a number of years back when the turtles came near to extinction. The village now has a tourism market that actively promotes turtle conservation.

Even the younger artists are wising up to the environmental concerns, creating images of disasters and an earth that is burning up and becoming uninhabited except for those wearing special suits.
