BORDERS AND NEIGHBORS: CRAFT CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN THE U.S. AND MEXICO EXHIBITION AT EL PUEBLO DE LOS ANGELES

This exhibition focused on influences between Mexican and American craft traditions, which was on view in the Biscailuz Gallery at El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument from November 16, 2017 through February 25, 2018. This exhibition of approximately thirty objects highlighted the artwork in a variety of media made by artists from both the U.S. and from Mexico who were featured in Craft in America’s BORDERS and NEIGHBORS episodes. In celebration of Craft in America’s tenth year on air, these episodes mark the series’ first in-depth foray into craft outside of the U.S. This exhibition, held at the site of the historic birthplace of the city of Los Angeles, was an occasion to honor the spirit of creativity that transcends physical and cultural barriers and that unifies our cultures.
