Francisco Loza returns with Huichol artist Macario Carrillo, travelling from Mexico to
exhibit their spectacular Arte en Estambre, a technique developed by the Huicholes in the Sierra Madre mountains, pressing brightly colored yarn onto beeswax-covered boards. Loza’s yarn paintings reflect the Huichol culture and images from Mexican life. Incorporating colorful beads, Carrillo’s pieces narrate Huichol mythology and present-day prophecies. New artistic visions by local youth in Loza’s workshops, and art from the Baltimore American Indian Center’s Youth Program, facilitated by Ashley Minner, bridge native and Latin American cultures.
