MACIEJKA ART - HOJA SANTA

2023, Dewi Lewis

Maya Art's work explores themes of femininity, religious syncretism and cultural diversity. In 2017, she spent a year in the Afro-Mexican village of Costa Chica. Oaxaca, in the home of Juliana, a lawyer and her teenage daughter, Veronica. It was Juliana who introduced her to the women of the community - healers, midwives, widows, and the mothers - some single, some with several children. They live relatively separately from the men due to a local history of violence yet the life of community revolves around them.
