Anecdotario

Understood as the "set of anecdotes occurred during the development of an activity or process" an Anecdotario is exactly what I did during my conference at Nodos & Píxeles

I most admit I was a bit lost when I had to make up my mind about what story I wanted to share. I knew I wanted to talk about my recent trip to oaxaca, specially the part about the route of mezcales, but I didn´t feel quite ready to do it until I stumble upon some info I was missing from my travel records and then... bang!... I had my story.

Mezcal, a prehispanic mexican drink made out of different types of agaves, has become very popular inside and outside México. It´s recent popularity can be observed from different prespectives, mine is just a glimpse of a wider picture in which the mass production and commercialization of mezcal its putting in danger, not only the agave ecosystem of the country, but also people's right to produce it freely. 

Soon I´ll share the complete story, hopefully in the shape of a photo reportage; in the meantime here are a few photos from the Anecdotario.
