@TezAkins @Mosqoy @UBC @authorwadedavis @salalberrywoman @markturin @NatGeo @NatGeoTravel @threadsofperu @UnescoPeru @unesco553 @uvic @UVicENVI @UVicHumanities We need one of these Local Shopping Guides in cities and towns all over the world!

[Ashli Akins @TezAkins]

Thrilled to launch "Your Guide to Textile Shopping in Cusco", with support from #NationalGeographic, as part of my PhD at @ubcisgp and in collaboration with @Mosqoy. Let's collectively shift the market to support #CulturalHeritage !

[Kai Chan @KaiChanUBC]

The market currently doesn’t enable consumers to distinguish between locally authentic art or products vs. knock-offs.

So cultural heritage erodes.

@TezAkins is fighting back.

[Ashli Akins @TezAkins]

Seems I’m not the only one missing the first day of #LASA2018, due to cancelled and rerouted flights due to the strikes in France. Sorry to miss all of the amazing presentations today! We are on our way as fast as we can!

[Ashli Akins @TezAkins]

@DrLBell @JoannaEPage @DrEmilyM_Baker I am in the same boat! Stranded in Munich for the same reasons... so sad to miss the whole first day of the conference.
