From Azla Vegan
In 1935, when Italy invaded Ethiopia, Mexico was one of only five member states in the League of Nations to condemn the invasion and refuse to recognize Italy’s rule. The government of Mexico later named a traffic circle and metro stop in Mexico City, Plaza Etiopia. In 1957, Ethiopia renamed Maichew Square in Addis Ababa, Mexico Square. Today, in the ever-expanding Addis Ababa, many people would say that Mexico Square is still center city.
Mexico! Mexico! That’s the sound of the wayalas in Addis gathering people off the streets and into the bus. Mexico! Mexico! They scream, heading towards Mexico square. My hermanito always called Azla an art project. It will go wherever the story takes you. Wherever the journey takes us.
Mexico! Mexico!
Azla started in the Mercado la Paloma in downtown Los Angeles where Gloria, Eva, Gilberto Sr. and Jr., Raul and his entire family showed us care and kindness, where they taught us respect for food. Their labor was one of love.
