Oaxaca Market Project 2008

The newly developing Oaxaca Market Project is an initiative of Planeta.com and friends in Oaxaca. The objective is to educate visitors about the markets before their trip and to encourage travelers to rethink how they take photos in markets.

We ask visitors to print photos (seen here archived on Flickr) and give them to the venders. Responsible travel photography! This puts a new spin on the traditional 'take only photographs' mantra by giving the photos back and raising awareness and increasing purchases of traditional crafts and local food.

What might be a rushed visit becomes a search for familiar faces and seasonal products. The Oaxaca Market Project encourages you to learn about the markets before a visit. Enjoy!


MICROPHILANTHROPY

Donors are recognized. We use financial donations to pay printing costs so that venders receive copies of the photos and videos.

Funds are being collected now to develop a series of re-usable market bags and a campaign to reduce trash in the markets. Right now you can support this work using a credit card.

QUESTION - Could someone put me in contact with the alebrijes artists of San Antonio Arrazola? You have some names on your web site, but no contact numbers or email addresses.

ANSWER - It's best to visit in person! We add links to artisan websites and Flickr galleries. The fact is that most artisans do not have email and phone numbers frequently change.
