The Jacobo and María Ángeles Workshop created two "Guardians" to inhabit the city of New York, with the mission of accompanying and protecting all Latin American, Mexican, and Oaxacan migrants who live or are about to arrive in the United States seeking a better future for their families.

As their name indicates, our guardians safeguard the life and cultural identity of this community; they are also responsible for the care, transport, and defense of the warriors, warrior women, tonas, and guides of their tribe. These two monumental figures are part of the story presented in "Nomads," a narrative about resistance, persecution, and migration in a dystopian future, where science merges with ancestral worldviews, including the Zapotec.

The Jaguar is cautious and strategic, representing courage, agility, and strength.

The Eagle keeps its gaze on the horizon, towards the future, symbolizing leadership and visual power.
