Photographer Eric Mindling to show documentary at Sunflower

Friends of Cedar Mesa present a benefit for Cedar Mesa Perishables Project

“Living Threads: A Portrait of Cultural Diversity, Roots and Belonging Told through Cloth,” will premiere at the Sunflower Theatre on Dec. 5 at 6:30 p.m.

The doors open at 6 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance and at the door.

Eric Mindling, photographer and storyteller from Oaxaca, Mexico, will present his two-year photo-documentary of traditional dressways and the people who continue to wear the clothing of their communities, according to a news release.

Mindling has lived in Oaxaca, Mexico, since 1992, photographing locals steeped in tradition.

His award-winning book, “Oaxaca Stories in Cloth,” contains the photographs and a “love letter to a people and place.”

Mindling will share stories alongside his photography and reflect on modern existence in contrast.

Tickets are available at the Sunflower Theatre website.
