This exhibition displays documentation of a collaborative process that started in a Spring 2008 Practicum in International Affairs course and culminated in Guatemala in late June. Fourteen GPIA and Parsons students, 2 professors and 1 coordinator spent the month of June in Guatemala working with Ajkem'a Loy'a, a group of Mayan weavers, to develop a sustainable business model to generate income via sale of their artisan goods and services to a broader market.
