Event Description |
We Are Voices of Other Voices is the collective work of the Zapotec community and the talent of nine contemporary artists. Each artist is exhibiting one or two textile pieces made through this collaboration, as well as a piece of their own current work. Under the direction of Ricardo Pinto and María Saldaña, artisans from this region partnered with contemporary artists to develop a series of pieces for this exhibition. Through this process, the creatives entered a dialogue, becoming apprentices of each other’s practices. The artisans learned new ways of designing, and the artists adapted to traditional craft techniques, using their dialogue to create pieces that respect and emphasize the origin of the craft as well as the contemporary art that emerged from working together. |
