BLACKBOX
In 2004 we started traveling from town to town, visiting communities dedicated to producing specific crafts. With respect and humility we taught what we knew, such as means and matter, and form and content….at the same time the artisans were instructing us in their traditions, and as well in the diversity of material resources in the region.
This has been an interdisciplinary give and take, in the end, we have created something unique.
To enable the project to work we created a storefront in the city of Oaxaca. The objective was to exchange knowledge with handcrafters in the different regions of the state and develop new designs, respecting their technique and ways of creation. The storefront allowed us visibility and publicity. The store is still open. We work with more than a dozen communities, artists and designers.
