December 26th, 2020. Oaxaca, Oaxaca, Mexico. Carmen Ruiz Lopez, 63 years old, walks around the touristic area in Oaxaca city, offering her pots to the food street vendors. She has a daughter that depends on her; she works for the Cooperative Ruiz Lopez, as well for her own production working with lead-free glaze for her pots, looking for the government certification. Her sales are mostly by walking leaving her home early in the morning and returning around ten p.m., before the pandemic she used to take her pottery to the fairs at the different churches that had a religious celebration, now these are banned by the government to avoid the covid-19 spread, she lost that important income, nowadays she needs to walk offering her pots to the local people mostly.
