Ancestral Contemporary Folk Art

Things are changing in Mexico.  New infrastructure, cellular technology and computers are making villages once virtually cut off from the outside world much easier to connect with.  This change can also be seen in the Folk Art, simple almost primitive carvings and paintings are being replaced by more intricate designs that incorporate animals and ideals that may not belong to the region.  New colors and materials adapted from the outside world enable Indigenous and Mexican folk artists alike an exciting new way of expressing how their ancient traditions and beliefs fit into today’s modern world.
