A public talk on craft and globalism by Dr. Deborah Dorotinsky Alperstein, Instituto de Investigaciones Est\u00e9ticas of the Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de M\u00e9xico (UNAM).<\/p>\n

This lecture will center on folk art (handcraft \/ arte-popular) as a cultural agent during the Global Cold War in 1968. It will highlight the place of handcraft in the cultural diplomacy between Mexico and the United States during the sixties and bring to the fore two international exhibitions.<\/p>\n

Dr. Dorotinsky currently serves as the project leader for Popular Arts, an effort to create a network of scholars both in Latin American and elsewhere whose work deals with contemporary Latin American art and specifically \u201cpopular\u201d art objects, i.e. crafts and dise\u00f1o artisanal. The purpose of the project is to critique and revise accepted categories (as well as definitions, terms, etc.) of these objects. Dr. Dorotinsky and her colleagues argue that these categories are politically contingent, often exploitative, and troublingly institutionalized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
