Description: Nine Mexicaneros and O'dam youth from San Pedro de Xicoras (Mezquital, Durango), in the Tlillin Ihuan Amatl workshop coordinated and taught by Israel Torres, wrote in Nahuatl, Tepehuan, and Spanish and illustrated and recorded drawings in linoleum and wood about their customs and traditions. In the three months that the workshop lasted, the youth, ages 13 to 15, elaborated 11 engravings in linoleum and 11 bilingual texts in serigraphy where two engraving techniques were used: wood engraving and linoleography. The children oversaw choosing the theme of the book and they all naturally selected Xuravet, a vital ritual of life and a cultural axis of their community. This handmade book was produced as part of a project that Torres began in Guerrero with a Nahuatl community and was later replicated with Mexicaneros. Historically, the Mexicaneros have been a relegated community because there are very few, only two or three communities survive throughout Durango. This work rescues their most important ceremony.
