Las Aguadoras Artwork

We are excited to share this artwork featured in ArtPrize made by one of our staff members, Nedith Faro.

Las Aguadoras: A Ritual from Uruapan, Michoacán This striking photograph honors the Purépecha traditions of water-carrying women in Mexico. Artist Nedith captures a deeply personal moment—herself in a traditional gala gown, standing in the river—as a tribute to generations of Indigenous women who carried water, stories, and culture. Born from a cherished memory of witnessing the beauty and strength of Purépecha rituals in Uruapan, this piece celebrates the spiritual connection between women, the earth, and ancestral heritage. The image feels intimate and alive, like a memory passed from one woman to another. Featured in ArtPrize, this powerful work invites you to witness the resilience and grace of Indigenous traditions.
