Always great to see traditional indigenous craftsmanship getting recognition. VIDEO HAS ENGLISH SUBTITLES.
Excerpt:
Its reputation for copper production dates to pre-Columbian times, and the craft still dominates the local economy today, with some 80 per cent of the town’s workforce active in the trade. In Mexican Handcraft Masters: Copper, a workshop led by the renowned coppersmith Abdón Punzo Ángel fashions striking objects from recycled copper scraps, a process that requires brute force and finesse in equal measure. Born of a long line of coppersmiths, Punzo Ángel hopes that his children will dedicate their lives to the family tradition, even as he acknowledges that he’s still learning. The film is part of the Mexican director Mariano Rentería Garnica’s short documentary series on artisans in Michoacán.

Radical Women: Latin American Art, 1960–1985 presents the work of 123 women artists and collectives active in Latin America and the United States during a key period in the history of the Americas and the development of contemporary art.The artists come from fifteen countries and include emblematic figures as well as significant, if lesser-known, contemporaries. The exhibition is the first survey of radical and feminist art practices both in Latin America and among Latina artists in the United States.
For women artists in Latin America, the decades covered by the exhibition were a time of repression as well as liberation. Most countries in the region were ruled by dictatorships or riven by civil war at some point during these years. The lives of many of the featured artists were enmeshed in experiences of authoritarianism, imprisonment, exile, torture, violence, and censorship. Yet this period also saw the emergence of new sensibilities. Whether based in Latin America or the United States, the artists embraced the expanded possibilities of the era, with some revitalizing traditional mediums such as painting and sculpture and others taking up experimental new disciplines such as video art, performance, and conceptual practices.
Don’t miss your chance to see all these radical women in one groundbreaking exhibition. Radical Women closes Sunday, July 22.
