(1) by Michèle Frentrop

2011 Art and Change Grant – $2,500

Ana taught 12 weekly sessions to Mexican community members and others interested in Mesoamerican culture the visual language of ancient pre-Columbian symbolism as a source of inspiration for them to create their own designs. Ana then helped participants transfer these symbols to elements of our modern world, ‘everyday’ items such as clothing, curtains, and banners. Through her teaching how to embroider or paint designs on textiles, her students were able to implement their own concepts on objects of their choice. Ana believed this to be vital to cultural survival and maintaining and passing on traditions.
