The stencil, seen on Sunday’s walk along Av. José María Morelos, may be of women from San Miguel del Valle, but the words speak to women everywhere.
We are the struggles won by our ancestors.

Yes this is a great stencil. I saw it on a wall on Pino Suarez near Morelos but it had been damaged. Would love to get a couple of copies for friends. Any ideas on who did it? BTW love you blog postings. As a part time resident of Oaxaca (along with Puerto Escondido) I love your prism of the culture here.
Thank you for your kind words! From research I’ve been able to do, subsequent to my post, I think this is from Hoja Santa Taller by the artist Yatiní Domínguez.
