I spent the month of June in San Lucas Toliman, Guatemala, with 13 students and 2 other colleagues from The New School, collaborating with the Mayan artisan women association, Ajkem’a Loy’a. I am highly inspired by this project and hope to continue practice and theory-based research on how design interventions can promote economic development.

While there, we created this blog that we updated almost daily, and of course, I also took many, many photographs of which the best are on my Flickr account.
