Today, March 19, is Día de las Artesanas y Artesanos (Day of the Artisans). In celebration, I would like to honor three of Oaxaca’s passionate, talented, and innovative artisans whose exhibitions I was fortunate enough to see last month.
Natalia Toledo, Juchitán de Zaragosa, Oaxaca – “Ladidoo/Piel de hilo” Centro Cultural San Pablo.
Manuel Jiménez Ramírez, San Antonio Arrazola, Oaxaca – “El Tallador de Sueños” at Museo de las Culturas de Oaxaca “Santo Domingo.”
Dolores Porras, Santa María Atzompa, Oaxaca – “”Dolores Porras Taller” at Museo de las Culturas de Oaxaca “Santo Domingo.”
To all artisans, thank you for your passion, commitment, and creativity. Your dedication to your art, often calling upon centuries of tradition, enriches our lives — bringing us joy as well as making us think.
