Reviews
"The book's strength lies in its stunning photos and the personal narratives of 10 women who find self-worth, camaraderie and joy in a sisterhood of artisans." --Christine Brunkhorst, book reviewer, Minneapolis Star Tribune, "This landmark publication is a remarkable testimonial to the power of art to transform lives. The most compelling and unique impact of this project is illuminated through the women's personal narratives, which describe the changes in their self-perception as they became successful artists." --Roxane Shaughnessy, Senior Curator, Textile Museum of Canada, " Rug Money provides a stellar example of why entrepreneurial opportunities such as Multicolores can transform individual artisans, their families, and entire communities. Read their story and be inspired." --Jeff Snell, Ph.D, CEO, International Folk Art Market, "Their colourful rugs reflect their culture and experience and are beautiful works of art. Filled with stunning photographs, this book is about people being good to each other, growing and learning, and that is a beautiful thing." --Deanne Fitzpatrick, internationally acclaimed rug-hooking artist and award-winning author, "You might start to read this book out of a passion for textiles in general, or rugs in specific, but you'll finish it because it says so much about how to do some good in this world." --Keith Recker, founder Hand/Eye magazine; Creative Director, International Folk Art Market, " Rug Money is a template, a literal "how to" for social and economic change. And the leading indicator is the education and employment of women. Giving women agency, as Rug Money shows, means great promise for impoverished communities across the globe." --Amy Kaslow, award-winning journalist and photographer covering at-risk communities, worldwide

Synopsis
Recognizing the dire need for more income-generating opportunities for Maya women in Guatemala, an accomplished American textile artist volunteered to teach one rug-hooking class. What follows is a surprising and heartening story about artistry, creative economies, and how access to opportunity truly does change lives. At the heart of Rug Money is the work of artist Mary Anne Wise and her committed team at Multicolores, the rug-hooking nonprofit they formed in Guatemala. In a moving narrative, Mary Anne describes how she created a curriculum for teaching art and design based on her Maya students' needs and abilities, while honoring their culture, and how they later brought their rugs to the famed International Folk Art Market in Santa Fe to much acclaim and successful sales. Rug Money celebrates the extraordinary achievement of Multicolores in creating community, education, and empowerment. While there was no business plan at the outset, the success of Multicolores serves as a model for how to organize and advance a nonprofit while effecting powerful social change.

- a***m (10)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoThe book looks great and seller was quick to respond when I sent a message asking about the item before purchase. The package came cut in places and alittle banged up (no fault to the seller) but the bubble wrap lucky saved the condition of the book. Super happy overall.
