An exhibition documenting New School students’ engagement in a project supporting “Ajkem’a Loy’a,” a Mayan women’s artisan organization in Guatemala. In the spring and summer of 2008 students from Parsons and The New School for General Studies’ Graduate Program in International Affairs worked with the group to support them in designing and producing hand-crafts for a broader market and developing their business and organization skills as a first step toward a sustainable business model.

This project is part of Parsons’ partnership with CARE, an organization that works with communities of women to end global poverty.
