MANO’s vision and focus is to project, exhibit and make visible the new practices within Mexican folk art, as well as the work of artists who involve a craft technique with their hometown.
In Oaxaca’s case, Teotitlán del Valle is one of the towns that has transcended the most in its craftwork, and whose origin is multiple. Each artisan provides an aesthetic contribution that is appropriated; being such appropriation and collective interpretation something very common in towns that are dedicated to some craft, a fact that homogenizes the aesthetics of a practice, and defines the work of a generation and its community.
In this exhibition we present 5 young artisans from three different generations, in which we see a unique and fresh proposal to the productions that have been made before.
