Welcome to the 14th annual International Folk Art Market | Santa Fe! Voted by readers of USA Today as the No. 1 arts festival in the country, IFAM | Santa Fe, which takes place July 14 to 16 on Museum Hill, is produced by the International Folk Art Alliance (IFAA), a nonprofit organization based in beautiful Santa Fe, New Mexico.

We project that this year, more than 25,000 people will participate in market-related activities, beginning with the free Community Celebration and Artist Procession on July 13. Sponsored by Nance and Ramón José López y Familia, the event features Cuban band TradiSon and Dragons of the World, a youth arts project in collaboration with Meow Wolf and Chimera. (No need to scoop up your little ones if you see a dragon approaching — the creative, youthful minds at Meow Wolf promise to feed the dragons in advance.)

Then the 2017 markets artists — 160 from 53 countries, including a record 52 first-time artists — assemble on Jeff Snell Museum Hill for the market opening on Friday night, July 14. This is a VIP experience unlike anything else.

The opening jump-starts millions of dollars in artist earnings over the 21-hour market weekend.

How do you get to be named the No. 1 arts festival in the country?

Part of the answer is that artists return home with 90 percent of their earnings, equipped and empowered to serve as catalysts for positive change — in areas such as health care and education — in their respective communities. To date, the market has generated more than $25 million in artist earnings and hundreds of powerful stories of the transformation of entire communities. It all starts with the excellence of the handmade, passed on by prior generations to the artists gathered in Santa Fe. If you’ve ever wondered how the social enterprise business models used by most of the artists in the IFAA family account for so much positive change, you’ll want to reserve your ticket for “Creating Global Impact,” held at the Lensic Performing Arts Center at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, July 12. Free and open to the public, the event features world-class leaders in social innovation from various sectors, each with his or her own approach to creating positive, systemic change in the United States and abroad.

If you’re looking for something entirely new to augment your 2017 market experience, check out the 30 artists in the Innovation Inspiration tent. Sponsored by JoAnn and Bob Balzer, this is an IFAAcurated collection of contemporary folk art made using traditional techniques and materials. As the name suggests, these innovative iterations are equal parts beautiful and inspirational. Be sure to ask the artists about their creative journeys and design ideas.

Finally, a very special thanks to the people of Santa Fe for their unwavering support over the last 14 years, the 2,000-plus volunteers from seven countries who help produce this amazing event and, of course, our local and national donors, who make it all possible.

With a world of thanks, Jeff Snell, CEO PS: Don’t forget to register for the secure Express Pay. It’s the best option for buying excellent art and creating your own global impact as you make new friends from around the world.

2016 Artist Procession and Community Celebration on the Santa Fe Plaza

2017 International Folk Art Market | Santa Fe

Innovate. Inspire.

BY STEPHANIE NAKHLEH PHOTOS BY GENE PEACH When Jeff Snell, chief executive officer of the International Folk Art Alliance, was in Uzbekistan not too long ago, he saw something that changed his thinking about folk art. “I witnessed some artists who saw me coming along wearing my IFAA baseball cap,” he says. “I saw them taking some product off their tables and putting a traditional product in its place. And I thought, What’s going on here?”

What was going on, Snell discovered after some inquiry, was that the artisans thought they weren’t allowed to display anything

12

innovative. After asking to take a closer look at the “forbidden” art, Snell noticed that while the artwork looked modern, it had been created with traditional, time-honored techniques. “These are contemporary iterations of their folk art,” he says. “For example, I saw a wine and cheese board that looked like something you’d see in an upscale American home goods store. The artists had already figured out there were new markets for their wares.”

The 2017 International Folk Art Market | Santa Fe honors that spirit of creativity with the theme of “Innovation Inspiration.”

Through a gift from longtime IFAM benefactors JoAnn and Bob Balzer, the market will have a special section dedicated to artists who have moved their folk traditions into the 21st century.

“Creating Global Impact: Social Innovation and Cross-Sector Solutions,” a panel discussion featuring four international thought leaders, addresses solving social problems by attacking root causes with novel approaches. At the Lensic Performing Arts Center at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, July 12, the free program is open to the public, although seats must be reserved in advance online (tickets. ticketssantafe.org).

This year’s market also highlights innovation in other ways, such as a new and improved express pay system. “At last year’s point of sale, we opened an opportunity for people to do express pay; this year we’re flipping it around from opt in to opt out, so it’s automatic,” says Snell. Shoppers can register their contact and payment information and be given a PIN, explains Gabe Gomez, director of marketing and communications for IFAA. “When you check out, you will have your own line, and when you give your PIN it pops your information up and runs your purchases through,” he says. Shoppers who would prefer not to give their credit card information ahead of time don’t have to, he adds. “You can still register beforehand, but you don’t have to give your credit card until you pay.” These changes are intended to nudge more people to use the express pay system,

I nter national Fol k Ar t M ar k e t S A N TA F E

Change the World. which “only takes 30 seconds per transaction,” Snell says. “When you’re standing in 90-degree heat, that time matters.”

New, too, is the opportunity for the public to purchase tickets for the One World Dinner, which takes place Saturday, July 15, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at La Fonda on the Plaza. (Tickets, $100, are available on the IFAM website.) “Last year it was for private donors only, a dinner with artists so that donors could interact with them. This year a limited number of tickets are available to the public,” says Gomez.

“I’ve had people who’ve been to every market say the One World Dinner was the most moving experience they’ve had,” Snell says. “The One World Dinner last year was so well received, we’re making it a key piece going forward. It’s really the whole world at its best: 60 countries, 30 languages. Especially with where we are in the world today, it’s important to have a place where people are fully respected, where their dignity is fully respected.”

As much as this market hinges on innovation, tradition sometimes wins out. The 2017 market moves back to its 2015 footprint and brings the food bazaar, which last year was located outside the market, back into the lower parking lot. “The traffic flow last year wasn’t great,” Gomez says. “Having the food outside the market didn’t really work for people. We’re moving back to the footprint we’ve always had.”

Shoppers can look forward to extended hours as well. “We’ve extended the early-bird hours on Saturday. It’s now from 7:30 to 10 a.m.,” Gomez says. “Tickets for the early-bird market are $75.

General market hours are from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., so that gives shoppers an extra 30 minutes. Our visitors 16 and under are still free for general market hours.”

New home, new opportunities to serve Toward the goal of fostering artist-patron interaction, Snell hopes to establish a regular meet-the-artist feature in the lobby of the new 13

IFAA headquarters in downtown Santa Fe. “We have a goal of getting into our new headquarters, at 620 Cerrillos Road, this fall.

I’m pleased on the math: We’re picking up 120 percent more operating space with just 25 percent of the overhead. At 7,600 square feet, we’ll have room for growth on the staff side, and we have a vision for artists to come do a residency. School groups could come in and witness firsthand what micro-enterprise means and see how economies are built around our model. They can see one-of-akind artisanship.”

With an expanded headquarters and a lobby that doubles as an art space,

“our mission will be to display art 365 days a year, not just on one weekend,” Snell says. “I think about the artists in Syria, for example, who are experiencing displacement. We can provide a venue in Santa Fe where their product is sold. We can show how the product is made, show the cultural expression. Artists can show people visiting that this is why we celebrate the dignity of the handmade and this is why their work is deemed excellent. That’s the richness of our model: You can hear their journeys through their stories. You can see firsthand the 38 steps involved in the making of the ikat: the pounding, rinsing, dyeing, weaving, patterns, motifs. You go, Oh, now I understand why that scarf costs what it does . . . it’s worth every penny. And you get to hear how the artist’s community has been transformed by their work.”

IFAM | Santa Fe adapts, expands When IFAM began 14 years ago, “They had no idea what was being set in motion,” Snell says. The focus was on preserving and celebrating traditional folk art through a market weekend. “But it isn’t just about preservation of folk art through retail. There’s so much more happening here. Now we have the nomenclature of social entrepreneurship.”

The way folk art can completely transform a community is especially evident in the women artisans, who make up 80 percent of market artists. “The artist-entrepreneurs who are women intuit benefits that accrue to their whole community, not just to them solely. It’s a beautiful pivot from the Western entrepreneur, who is seeking to capture profit [personally]. Some social entrepreneurs will try to tell communities what to do. They say: Build a school. I always thought this smacks of philanthropic colonialism. We just get invited to work with artists. We feel they know best what to do with the profits. We have the joy of being part of equipping and empowering artists but not dictating to them what they’re doing.”

The IFAM | Santa Fe model has been so successful that it is expanding to other cities. In June 2017, Arlington, Texas, will host the first sister-city IFAM market. “The partners that we’ve identified in Arlington are fantastic. We couldn’t ask for a team that is more aligned in our values and more of a delight to work with and learn from,” says Snell. As the sister-city model expands, “We have to think about what are the irreducibles for our brand, so that when we begin to replicate and scale sister-city markets, like Arlington, visitors will know that this looks and feels like Santa Fe. We will honor the brand that Santa Fe has helped create.”

LEADING BY EXAMPLE AWARD FINALISTS BRING RESOURCEFULNESS AND PASSION TO THEIR COMMUNITIES — AND TO THE MARKET

BY STACI GOLAR Last year the International Folk Art Market | Santa Fe, under direction of its parent organization, the International Folk Art Alliance (IFAA), decided to deepen its commitment to and recognition of worldwide folk artists, organizations and advocates that embody its mission. It did this by adding two award programs to its annual activities to help celebrate and preserve living folk art traditions.

The Community Impact Award was established in 2016 to honor artists who further the IFAA m i ss i o n by posi t i vel y 2017 impacting social change in their communities.

COMMUNITY In 2017 the finalists IMPACT represent Cuba, Mexico, FINALISTS India, Thailand and the Palestinian territories and hundreds of artists within each of those countries.

SHE (Self Help Enterprise), a Community Impact finalist based out of Kolkata, India, has been critical to reviving kantha, a type of Bengali embroidery, while empowering rural female artisans of West Bengal along the way. Currently between 600 and 800 women sell their work under the umbrella of SHE, which grants them financial independence, medical care and more.

the SHE Foundation, says they feel fortunate to have traveled to Santa Fe several times now, taking IFAA’s training programs and participating in the market itself. “It has always been a very enriching and inspiring experience,” she says. “Two of our kantha artisans attended the International Folk Art Market in 2004 and 2005. They loved the experience of exhibiting to a crowd of people how masterfully they were able to convert a simple running stitch into stitch art. They were very happy to showcase their technique and their products and get a firsthand response from 2017 this group of elite international buyers.”

LIVING Dudeja notes that TRADITION SHE participants leave with a refined FINALISTS understanding of what work to bring to new audiences each year. “The training programs have helped me in understanding the American market in a better way and accordingly to bring changes in our product line. The colors, patterns and the sizes; which works best with the American clients. It has helped me in exploring new venues: Dallas, San Antonio and online selling with support from IFAA.” While being a Community Impact Award finalist is already an immense recognition, Dudeja says that winning the award would give the embroiderers “a great sense of dignity and self-worth.” She explains that “economic independence leads to empowerment, and the women can now raise their voice against wife abuse, prevent child marriages and, above all, ensure better education for their children. They inspire their daughters and other women among the circle of their individual friends and families to follow in their footsteps and help the kantha community grow.”

Located in Chiapas, Mexico, the cooperative Sna Jolobil was founded to preserve and revitalize Maya textile art. The organization includes 800 weavers from 20 indigenous Tzotzil and Tzeital communities. Members are able to pay for medical needs, school supplies and more through the sale of the textiles they make through the cooperative.

Sna Jolobil has participated in eight International Folk Art Markets, and founder Pedro Meza says that the experience has

been “a form of training, both technical and methodological, to help us continue to improve our art production and marketing program.”

In his application for the award he notes, “Participation in the International Folk Art Market means a great deal to our cooperative. It is a platform that allows us to observe and hear new information through the other participants and buyers.”

Somporn Intaraprayong, a self-taught textile artist from Thailand and a Community Impact Award finalist, had the unique opportunity to be part of a storytelling/video workshop last year at the market. Somporn is passionate about using sewing as a way to achieve and preserve emotional and economic independence for women, and her work now supports families throughout Thailand. When the video she began at the market was finally edited and finished, Somporn saw it and cried. When it went on Facebook, it became a sensation in Thailand and the United States, and people began to seek her out as a result.

“By posting the seamstresses and their work on Facebook,” Somporn says, “people all over got interested to see more, and more people got interested to learn and do the work.

Before, the seamstresses would think of what they made almost as homework, but once they saw themselves and their work in videos and photographs on social media, and everyone liking and sharing it and praising them, their confidence grew and they felt excited. Everyone who sees the posts wants to see more. This results in selling, and selling results in the seamstresses feeling encouraged. There’s more money for their families, but there’s also pride.”

Somporn says, “If I receive the award, I will be so happy and proud, because I don’t expect anything. I work because I like it. It helps women and their families, and it shows people the value of tradition and doing work by hand. If I win the award, it will be for the seamstresses and the students. The seamstresses would know they are part of it and feel so proud. They already feel pride in their work, but this would give them extra confidence and encouragement. It would show the seamstresses and the schoolchildren the value of perseverance, and they all would feel inspired to work hard and study hard to make their lives better.”

and Works Agency now provides much more. It is preserving the culture of Palestine as well. A household name for quality embroidery in Gaza, Sulafa employs approximately 300 local artisans through the commissioning of traditional and contemporary embroidered goods such as dresses, scarves and pillows.

Aisha El Basuoni, business development officer for Sulafa, says that the group would love to receive a Community Impact Award, as it would be a “great opportunity for us to show our handmade products and help expand our work into external markets. Sulafa has become more than a livelihood program. … It is now also a way to preserve the traditions and culture of embroidery within the Palestinian society.”

The Living Traditions Award honors artists who reflect the IFAA mission by contributing to the preservation of their cultures through reviving and strengthening traditional folk arts with a strategy for passing on the traditions to future generations. This year’s finalists are from India, Mali, South Africa, Israel and Uzbekistan and represent a wide range of art forms and cultural heritage.

Abdullah and Abduljabbar Khatri, brothers and Living Traditions finalists from the district of Kutch in Gujarat, India, say that the International Folk Art Market has helped raise the status of the bandhani textile artists with whom they work back home — most of them women. The Khatris have helped revive the use of natural rather than chemical dyes for this tie-dye technique, which is used on dupattas (a type of multiuse scarf). They currently employ more than 200 women.

“At one end, I do feel proud that I got the opportunity to play the role of carrier to take the bandhani to global markets and help garner the world’s attention toward this craft sector at a time when the craft was at a critical crossroads,” Abduljabbar said in his application for the award. “And at the other end, I am also very happy that over the last decade, the people involved with the craft — the women who tie, the dyers, the bandhani artisans — benefited with this change and started getting more work, and more and more people are now getting back into the craft.”

Ben-Zion David, an eighth-generation Yemenite filigree jeweler based in Israel, now provides for 13 different families beyond his own due to the success of his business. He recalls that he arrived on the wrong day during his first International Folk Art Market experience, completely missing the artist training programs. Nonetheless, he learned “all he needed to know” during his first year as a market artist, gaining valuable connections along the way.

If he’s chosen for the Living Traditions Award, he says, “it will serve as proof that certainly I have succeeded in my life mission, and that is to preserve the dying art bequeathed to me, passed down through the generations. This is as it always has been in my family — nomads traveling, creating these jewels to help them in their lives and on their way. The same goes today, not only here in Israel, but I travel all over the world for exhibits, museums and private demonstrations.”

One World Dinner While the anticipation builds before the final recipient in each award category is announced at the One World Dinner on July 15, all these extraordinary finalists will be celebrated and honored at the special event. This year the dinner is open to the general public for the first time; attendees can learn firsthand how the International Folk Art Market has had a profound and lasting impact on artists’ lives and livelihoods, social enterprises, families and communities. It will be an evening full of life-changing stories that center on folk art — one that you won’t soon forget.

(IFAA) initiated two new programs, the Living Traditions Award and the Community Impact Award, to serve as a source of inspiration and mentorship for artists through stories of success.

Artists nominate themselves in one of the two categories, and a group of five IFAA staff does the first culling of applications. Independent experts choose the final winner in each category, which will be announced this year at the One World Dinner, held 6:30 to 9 p.m. on July 15, 2017, at La Fonda on the Plaza. Tickets to the dinner cost $100 per person and can be purchased (if any are left at press time) by calling 505-886-1251 or visiting folkartalliance.org.

During the International Folk Art Market | Santa Fe, all the award finalists will be located in the tent nearest the Museum of International Folk Art on the upper level.

2017 Living Traditions finalists The Living Traditions award honors artists who serve as “an extraordinary example of the IFAA mission by contributing to the preservation of their culture through reviving and strengthening a traditional folk art with a strategy for passing on the tradition to future generations.”

Abdullah and Abduljabbar Khatri, India: The Khatri brothers have revived the use of natural dyes for an ancient kutchi art called bhandani, a tie-dye technique that is used on dupattas (multiuse scarves). The art includes a design called chandrukhani that has at least a 300year heritage. The brothers employ hundreds of women in making these naturally dyed textiles.

Aboubakar Fofana, Mali: An indigo textile designer, Fofana is increasingly known for his work to revive the ancient art of dying with fermented West African indigo. His latest project is a farming co-op in rural Mali that is growing two species of indigo indigenous to his home village of Bamako.

Angeline Bonisiwe Masuku, South Africa: Masuku started ABM Trading to share the art of Zulu basketry with a wider audience and to train women to weave illala palm baskets as a path out of poverty. Her desire to revitalize the art form extends beyond herself — she’s especially interested in teaching young women this skill.

25

Ben-Zion David, Israel: An eighth-generation jeweler, David is focused on preserving and sharing the art of Yemenite filigree and Judaica. He notes that these art forms have faded as Jewish artists have migrated away from Yemen, sometimes leaving centuries-old artistic traditions behind for a different way of life.

Fattillo Kendjaev, Uzbekistan: A carpet weaver who lives in Bukhara, Kendjaev has revived the use of natural dyes and weaving techniques for carpets and the use of embroidery for suzanis — arts that were on the verge of disappearing before Uzbekistan gained its independence.

As former head of the UNESCO-formed School of Traditional Carpet Weaving, Embroidery and Natural Dyeing, Fattillo has had a far-reaching impact through the hundreds of apprenticeships and classes he’s overseen.

2017 Community Impact finalists The Community Impact Award was established “to honor artists who are an extraordinary example of the IFAA mission by positively impacting social change in their community.”

El Grupo Bayate, Cuba: This group formed in 1994 to organize arte naïf painters in the region of Mella, Cuba. The goals are to protect and promote their work for the good of the community, to teach young people about its history and to imbue them with a sense of pride and purpose. The group currently focuses on three main projects: Proyecto Miranda to support artists in neighboring provinces, Proyecto Francisca to support female artists in the area and Alegria de Vivi to support the young people of the community of Mella through art classes.

SHE (Self Help Enterprise), India: The most significant work of SHE has been the revival and revision of kantha embroidery, which has ultimately led to the social and financial empowerment of the rural kantha artisans of West Bengal. Currently, between 600 and 800 women sell their textiles under the umbrella of SHE, receiving income, health care and more as a result.

Sna Jolobil, Mexico: Located in Chiapas, Sna Jolobil was founded to preserve and revitalize Maya textile art. The organization includes 800 weavers from 20 indigenous Tzotzil and Tzeital communities. Members of the cooperative are able to pay for medical needs, school supplies and more through the sales of their art.

Somporn Intaraprayong, Thailand: A self-taught textile artist, Intaraprayong sees sewing and cloth as a way to achieve and preserve emotional and economic independence. Her work now supports women and families in Bangkok, Chiangmai in the northeast and Takhli, where she has also revitalized the use of natural textile dyes such as indigo.

Sulafa Embroidery Centre, United Nations Relief and Works Agency, Palestinian territories: Established in 1950 to provide income for Palestinian refugee women, the Sulafa Embroidery Centre has become much more. It is now preserving the traditions and culture of Palestine as well. Nearly 300 refugee women work under its umbrella, telling stories of day-to-day life in Palestinian villages in the dresses, scarves, pillows and many other garments they make.

2016 COMMUNITY IMPACT AWARD

ROOTS PROJECT OF SOUTH SUDAN Still empowering women, preserving a culture, promoting peace

I

BY ZÉLIE POLLON

T WAS THE DINKA CORSET

that got people talking.

The colorful beaded corset, made

by Mary Padar Kuojok, a grandmother and former cook for the Sudan People’s Liberation Army, drew so much attention at the 2012 International Folk Art Market | Santa Fe that people couldn’t help but want to learn about ROOTS of South Sudan. The group’s mission? To bring women together in the name of creating peace in Africa’s newest country.

That was five years ago, and the group’s first appearance at the Santa Fe market.

Since then, the nonprofit organization, founded by Anyieth D’Awol, a Sudanese lawyer and human rights investigator, has only expanded its success. Last year ROOTS won the market’s coveted Community Impact Award, which honors artists whose work has created positive social change in their communities.

“The work that we do at the ROOTS Project is a testament to unity and diversity,” D’Awol said in her acceptance speech last year, coincidentally the fifth anniversary of South Sudan’s nationhood. “We represent women from 19 different tribes and we work together, and we cope and we become resilient and we continue … and we make beautiful art.”

In giving the organization one of the market’s top awards, International Folk Art Alliance CEO Jeff Snell called ROOTS a “beacon of resilience and hope.”

He continued, “During this critical period for its citizens, and despite ongoing periods of violence in Juba and other parts of South Sudan, the ROOTS Project continues to provide vital incomegenerating opportunities for its members as well as much-needed social support. By reviving traditional South Sudan folk art, this organization empowers an extremely vulnerable population, which is a big reason why the International Folk Art Alliance 26

selected the ROOTS Project as the recipient of the 2016 Community Impact Award.”

South Sudan was a new country when Padar Kuojok first introduced her corset at the International Folk Art Market, and its growing pains have been difficult. When South Sudan decided to separate from the north of Sudan in 2011, it first needed to establish

a new government and public services — and then deal with its own internal and tribal conflicts.

It was in the midst of these conflicts that D’Awol created the ROOTS Project. She wanted to bring together women from different regions and tribes to help rebuild peace and cooperation — and in so doing provide women with safety, work and skills. But mistrust and suspicion was rampant, particularly when D’Awol invited women from a displaced people’s camp in Juba after violence flared in December 2013. Time has helped close many of the divides and brought the women closer. Between 50 and 100 women now sit together at the ROOTS Project center in Juba and at a refugee camp and sew intricately beaded ceremonial objects and jewelry. They sew, share child care and meals and build trust and lasting friendships.

The added income has helped husbands become more accepting of their working spouses. D’Awol invites husbands who don’t support the work to come learn more about the group. The project can provide legal assistance and encouragement for women to leave abusive spouses if need be.

In most cases, the women’s financial success is equaled only by their growing self-confidence. In testimonies on the ROOTS website, women describe many firsts. “I was an orphan and married young and blessed with 5 children in which 4 died and left me with one, an 11 year old girl,” writes Lucia Kedis from the Lopit tribe. She joined the ROOTS Project in February 2016 and enrolled her daughter in school for the first time ever when she received her first payment. With the remainder of her pay, she bought food.

The women who join the project are encouraged to enroll their children in school and to take literacy and math classes themselves.

Child care, healthy meals, transport and legal support are provided, as well as emergency funding for health care.

Emphasizing education for women and girls is still rare in many countries of the world, including South Sudan. But these notions are changing, in part due to efforts by groups like ROOTS. In 2016 primary and secondary school enrollment in South Sudan broke the one million mark, with nearly half of those students being girls (417,978 of 1,039,305 students in just over 3,000 schools).

In 2004 political leader and Dinka tribe member John Garang de Mabior declared July 7 to be South Sudan National Girl Child Education Day. Clearly understanding the direction in which the country should head, he said at the time, “Educating girls is a proven way to lift families and communities out of poverty, and crucial to putting South Sudan back on track to recovery and then sustained development.”

These are statements D’Awol understands intuitively, and she has had the outreach skill and fund-raising ability to move the project forward. “The cycles of violence, poverty and insecurity can be broken by the empowerment of women who will provide the right 27

conditions for children and their future,” she writes on the website.

This year the ROOTS newsletter won a 2016 All-Star Reader-Response Award from Constant Contact. In addition to the International Folk Art Market | Santa Fe, the group will attend a market in Texas this year, opening possibilities for more sales and additional fund-raising potential.

While the awards are coming in, the need is still great. South Sudan still suffers from conflict, with growing numbers of displaced women and families, all struggling to find a means of survival.

South Sudan does not draw tourists; it is a country rarely visited except by international aid workers and journalists. So the International Folk Art Market provides a means of making invisible women visible, and creating a lifeline through sales — a lifeline that provides not only financial assistance but also a way of protecting and promoting the people, culture and traditions of South Sudan.

And of course, the art is beautiful.

WORLDWIDE WEAVE

Peruvian textile artists to host international conference

BY SANDY NELSON Nilda Callañaupa Alvarez hasn’t had time to expand her network of traditional weavers and build a larger textile center outside Cusco, Peru. That project remains on the “to-do” list for Alvarez and her colleagues at Centro de Textiles Tradicionales del Cusco (CTTC), but for now they have a more immediate commitment: organizing a global gathering of textile artists for November 8-11 in Cusco.

“We didn’t proceed with our dream of the larger center in the valley,” Alvarez, the CTTC director, said in an email. “This is still a dream and it is a long-term project.

Instead, this year … we are going to have an international textile artist gathering, so our focus is that for now.”

“Tinkuy: Gathering of the Textile Arts” is planned as a four-day assembly of weavers, art historians, anthropologists and fans of the richly diverse Andean textile traditions. “The word tinkuy means ‘gathering’ in Quechua, the indigenous language spoken by many people in the Andes,” according to the event website. “It is a celebration of the textile art[s] as expressed in dozens of cultures from almost every continent.”

In that sense, Tinkuy is a lot like the International Folk Art Market (IFAM) — 28

a coming together of people who appreciate traditional arts and want them to survive the homogenizing forces of globalism and the appropriation of intricate designs, some of them centuries old and all of them culturally meaningful, by the makers of inferior, mass-produced knockoffs.

Supporters of genuine folk art traditions — as donors, collectors or mindful shoppers — are part of a growing movement that inspires CTTC’s expansion goals.

Since its formation in 1996, the nonprofit organization has supported the work of nearly 600 weavers in 10 communities near Cusco by providing a portal to otherwise unattainable international markets and ensuring that weavers receive fair prices for their vibrant creations. In so doing, CTTC makes it possible for textile artists to support themselves, their families and their communities by making products that are infused with both cultural and commercial value.

Alvarez wants to draw more Andean villages into the center’s orbit by creating more partnerships, internships and opportunities for education and work.

“Thread by thread, design by design, the weavers from Accha Alta and Acopia, Sallac, Patabamba and six other communities are battling to bring back their traditions from the brink of extinction,” the CTTC website asserts. “Through research and exhibits, the daily use of their textiles and more, the weavers are teaching the world not only why their textiles matter, but showing that they do not reside in the annals of history. Andean textiles are a living tradition.”

CONTINUUM OF CULTURE

Innovation Inspiration Tent brings contemporary flair to Folk Art Market

BY DEBORAH BUSEMEYER Somporn Intaraprayong’s handwoven scarves and bags are streaked with shades of blue from natural indigo dyes, representing a weaving and dyeing tradition that dates back thousands of years in Southeast Asia. The weaver from Thailand adds her own creative spin, embellishing with trims and buttons in unexpected ways or creating abstract effects with thick stitches. This combination of innovative art that is both rooted in cultural traditions and meaningful in the modern age is a brand-new category in this year’s International Folk Art Market | Santa Fe. Intaraprayong is one of 30 artists who will sell her work in the Innovation Inspiration Tent, across from Museum Hill Café, at the Folk Art Market this summer. The International Folk Art Alliance (IFAA) developed the Innovation Inspiration category to open up the market to artists who are creating culturally relevant pieces that also reflect the 21st century, said Kevin Recker, IFAA’s creative director.

“Folk art, like all creative efforts, is not left out of the forward continuum of culture,” Recker said. “We have an opportunity to reach into the making community with real respect for the creators of their product.

We need to be open to what folk artists are thinking about what’s relevant in today’s world, rather than following standards that we think they should. It creates a breadth and diversity to the market that’s outstanding.”

The alliance’s selection committee considered the artists’ skills and cultural connections, as it always does, but it also looked at methods, materials, motifs and meanings, as well as whether the work is creative, expressive and socially relevant.

“Those extra questions allowed us to maintain a focus on the usual folk art factors but also allowed us to acknowledge social issues, new materials and new technologies,” Recker said.

Recker described one of his favorite 30

entries, from an Indian woman based in Mumbai. She was a sonic engineer who began experimenting with natural dyes when her work wasn’t fulfilling her. She works with inner-city dwellers who collect and bring her discarded, wilted offerings from temples around Mumbai. She rolls the flowers and plants into handwoven silks and cottons, transferring the colors through a steaming process. “Her work is rooted in culture, involves recycling and a natural, chemicalfree process. And it is beautiful,” he said.

As part of their innovative work, artists confront social issues and often collaborate with locals to expand their artistic endeavors so they can better support their families. Intaraprayong teaches women from different regions of her country to sew clothes and accessories by hand using traditional cultural techniques. The work embodies the weavers’ cultural identities and also helps provide for their families and educate their children.

Mexican artist Carla Fernández travels to indigenous communities so that artisans and designers can exchange ideas and develop new products. In Chiapas she has worked with artisans who have simplified ancient Mayan embroidery techniques to produce more garments in less time, increasing their income and also attracting more urban customers.

“It’s a recycling initiative that is just fabulous,” Recker said. “It produces a community result. In this section we were allowed to look at social entrepreneurship, focusing on the good they do through the making and selling of their products.”

JoAnn Balzer, an avid folk art collector who serves on the advisory board of IFAA, knew she wanted to support the Innovation Inspiration Tent with her husband, Bob, as part of their interest in transformative philanthropy. “This is transformative in the sense that the artist can be inspired to do new things. It showcases the creativity the artist already has,” she said.

Establishing this new category widens the net for participating artists, said Bob Balzer.

“New artists who know the traditions but want to do different things can be included now. We see this as part of our efforts to encourage contemporary work.”

The Balzers hope the new category will draw more people to the market. “The market needs to change and innovate to inspire younger audiences and make it appealing to a broader range of collectors, buyers and aficionados,” said JoAnn Balzer.

“To me there is no limit to the creativity of the artist, so there is going to be no limit to the Innovation Inspiration category.”

IFAA restricted the new category to 30 artists, and Recker noted that it wasn’t difficult to choose the talented artists who are participating this year. “I think this will continue of its own momentum,” he said.

“There’s no question it’s going to be an amazing new element to the market.”

BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS Resource Fair offers artists more opportunities

BY ARIN MCKENNA People who live in developed countries often take regular eye exams and prescription lenses for granted. But for many of the artists who take part in the International Folk Art Market | Santa Fe, those services are out of reach.

At the first International Folk Art Alliance (IFAA) Artist Resource Fair, held after last year’s market, 15 weavers from Bolivia’s Cheque Oitedie Cooperative were among those who benefited from free eye exams and donated glasses. According to Ines Hinojosa, many of the women — who create bags and accessories from woven dajudie plant fiber — are over 50 and were having difficulty threading needles.

They were unable to afford transportation to the nearest city, much less eyeglasses.

“The donation of reading glasses from the IFAA was very helpful for these artisans.

Currently they can work day or night without vision problems, so they are very grateful to the IFAA’s program and donors. … Their expressions of thanks are quiet, respectful and dignified,” Hinojosa wrote.

Volunteers from Eye Associates of New Mexico provided screenings and matched artists with nearly 1,000 pairs of glasses collected

by IFAA and the clinic. Eye Associates staff spent many hours prior to the event sorting 34

the glasses, which IFAA volunteer Jane Shreffler organized, cleaned and packaged.

The volunteers had their own stories to tell. Diane Loftus wrote, “The staff’s biggest reward was the artists’ reactions as many were able to see clearly for the first time. Tears, smiles and hugs were heart-warmly exchanged.”

An 8-year-old boy’s curiosity was piqued by his mother’s eye exam, so she asked if he could look through the autorefractor for fun. The test revealed that his eyesight was poor — he could read only the largest letter on the eye chart. “We were able to find him an almost perfect glasses prescription from our donated glasses,” Molly Norton wrote.

“When the boy put the glasses on and looked all the way across the room, you could tell that he was able to see detail and things in the distance like never before. His smile was ear to ear and I do know that his life was changed for the better.”

Artists were also sent home with over-the-counter reading glasses to distribute in their communities. Their reactions impressed volunteer Jana Sky. “So many people were excited to not only have received glasses for themselves, but they seemed equally excited to be taking back readers for members of their community. … I found that to be very touching,” she wrote.

Other participants in the 2016 Resource Fair included members of the Santa Fe Community College Department of Dental Health, who offered advice on dental hygiene and representatives from the Bennett Law Group, who advised artists on intellectual property rights. Artists also were recruited for the testing phase of the Zilpa app, designed to connect folk artists to tourists, and were offered information on Pro Mujer, a nonprofit that provides financial services, health care and

business empowerment training for underserved women.

IFAA initiated the Resource Fair in response to a survey about artists’ most pressing concerns. Access to capital, health care and education topped the list.

Participating organizations offered products, services and advice to the 150-plus artists who attended last year’s market. Littleglobe Inc., a Santa Fe-based nonprofit that describes itself as an “art community for social change,” was a participant. The Littleglobe media team, IFAA volunteers and four students from the Global Youth Ambassadors program of Santa Fe’s Mandela International Magnet School worked with eight artists interested in developing video storytelling skills. During the hands-on workshop, the artists operated cameras and audio equipment, interviewed one another and learned skills such as framing and producing cutaway shots. Their short films were shown during the Resource Fair as examples of how artists can utilize video to promote their work.

“Really, at the heart of it, is trying to tell the story of each individual, which helps to contextualize who they are and where they’re from HANDMADE BOOTS BELTS •• BUCKLES • HANDBAGS Officine Creative • Masnada • Henry BeguelinCreative • Zero 11• Cashmere Representing Henry Bequelin • •Masnada Officine Marsell • JEWELRY and why this work is so important to them,” said Littleglobe executiveRepresenting 725 Canyon Road • 505.982.9499 • desertsonofsantafe.com • Visit our Facebook page director Chris Jonas.

Somporn Intaraprayong, a textile artist from Takhli, Thailand, was one of the media workshop participants. Her video became a sensation all over Thailand after she posted it on Facebook, generating interest from both buyers and those wanting to learn from and work with her.

Questions posed by artists who attended the Resource Fair made Jonas realize what some are up against, such as living without internet service or even electricity. “But we taught people how to make videos with their phones so the technical hurdles wouldn’t be quite as insurmountable. … There’s a huge opportunity for these artists, and there are some real challenges that they face.”

Securing a loan can be difficult for any small business, but for artists and cooperatives in underdeveloped countries, funding may not be available at all or may come with excessively high interest rates. Programs such as Kiva microloans from the Alliance for Artist Enterprise offer a solution.

The alliance presented a workshop titled “Am I Ready for a Business Loan?” during an education program preceding the Resource Fair and had representatives at the fair to help artists complete applications.

Ghanaian artist Ebenizer Djaba (better known as Cedi) obtained a loan for his family business, Cedi Beads Industry, which makes beads from recycled glass. The loan was used to purchase raw materials and firewood for the business’s wood-burning kilns. The company is also generating jobs and economic growth by expanding to another showroom and providing beads for other artisans.

Association Timidwa — a cooperative of 70 Malian metalworkers and leatherworkers — bought new tools and materials with the loan it Representing Henry Bequelin • Masnada • Officine Creative • Marsell secured, allowing artisans to create more products to bring to market and 725 Canyon Road • 505.982.9499 • desertsonofsantafe.com to improve their wares. “Therefore the Kiva loan is also improving the quality of our artwork,” said association president Mohamed El-Mouloud Ag Hamid. “The artists are very happy with their new tools. For them it feels like a new life, and they work with a smile on their faces.”

MEXICO CITY STUDIO BLENDS MODERN COUTURE WITH ANCIENT DESIGN

SOCIAL INNOVATION AT WORK

BY ZÉLIE POLLON

Carla Fernández’s trendy Mexico City studio looks like a modern art gallery: high ceilings, clean sharp edges and sparse design. It’s not the typical workspace of artisans participating in the International Folk Art Market | Santa Fe, many of whom come from small villages in remote lands.

But Fernández is part of a new wave of artists bringing ancient folk traditions into the 21st century.

Social Innovation is one of the market’s newest categories, a field that looks to solve social problems by confronting them in novel ways — and Fernández is doing just that. With the motto “The future is handmade,” Fernández works to incorporate ancient designs into her modern clothing, integrating the work of artisans from 12 different communities into her high-end finished product. It’s a way to keep artisans at work and customs alive, particularly at a time when so many immigrants are forced to leave their homes — and traditions — in search of higher-paying opportunities.

“It’s very important that the women stay with their kids in their communities. They have to find better opportunities than cleaning houses and leaving their kids behind,” Fernández says. “How many times have we seen 10-year-old children left at home taking care of the other children?”

The master artisans — from Oaxaca, Chiapas, Puebla and other regions — usually approach her, inspiring the designs and working by hand using their own traditional methods. In return they are compensated fairly and considered partners in the work. The final design collections, radical by most measures, then travel the world, showing in Boston, Buenos Aires, Singapore and Colombia. Fernández has interviewed with Vogue, The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times — and her incredibly savvy use of social media ensures high visibility wherever she goes.

Fernández knows that social media and visuals are critical to the success of her collections, and her website includes numerous videos of artisans at work. It’s an important way for clients who might not be able to visit a village or otherwise see an artist working firsthand to understand the complexity of the work involved. Her videos are so sophisticated, in fact, that a compilation of this work has been shown at film festivals.

“The best way to understand the work is to see it, so we do these videos and you fall in love. Then you understand the complexity. It’s crazy!” Fernández says of the production process. “How in the world does this continue

to happen, and how did this start? The processes are so complex, like the first mathematics or the development of humankind. When you see it, it’s like the first computers — how they weave, the techniques they use … then you begin to understand the cultural richness.”

Fernández plays with words the same way she plays with textiles, calling her methodology of pattern making the Square Root. It’s modeled on the use of squares and rectangles as the basis for Mexican indigenous garments, she said, and embodies her desire to help preserve the roots of her culture. Preservation is also political and economic. It’s not immigrants taking people’s jobs in the U.S., she reminds us; it’s technology that is making so many jobs obsolete.

Her bully pulpit is meant as a statement on tradition. She repeats her motto: “The future is handmade.”

The 44-year-old artist and mother of two was drawn to fashion and design at an early age. She describes her mother as a “fashionista”; her father was director of Mexico’s National Museum of Anthropology and History, and he designed museums throughout Mexico. While

41

traveling with him to various sites around the country, Fernández was amazed not only by the architecture, including the centuries-old pyramids of Teotihuacan, but also that the culture is still present.

Women still wear their traditional clothing — ornate embroidery intricately sewn by hand — at home, in the fields, at work and at rest, while raising children or tending animals. The designs are part of everyday life. What Paris and New York create in ateliers and call haute couture is alive in the mountains of Chiapas, the Mixteca coast and the canyons of the Tarahumara, Fernández said in an interview with Vogue. And she wants to share that with the world.

Last year presented new openings for Carla Fernández: She added a men’s line and opened new stores in both San Miguel de Allende in the north and on the Yucatan Peninsula. Her next goal is a showroom in the United States — maybe even in Santa Fe. She also created a collection called Dances and Ceremonies and presented the line with help from Merce Cunningham Dance Company members. Like the clothing itself, the presentation incorporates traditional dance from Mexican communities.

Fernández presents for the first time at the 2017 International Folk Art Market. She hopes the experience will create new openings — possible collaborations, creative inspirations and certainly new friendships.

It’s not her first time to town, however.

Last year she participated in Site Santa Fe’s 2016 Biennial, where she learned about the international market. It was the addition of the Social Innovation category that opened the door for her participation. Hers is among 30 other artist groups in the new category.

Fernández sees innovation as movement, and fashion is changing every day. “At the end of the day,” she says, “I don’t believe fashion is static.

Fashion is ephemeral. We all find new ways to develop, new things to develop.” And new ways to collaborate.

Fernández wants to spread not only her fashion designs but also her working philosophy.

She is finishing a book — what she calls a manifesto — that details her design beliefs and processes, outlines the way she incorporates local artisans and shows how everyone benefits from the employment structure. It all starts with a belief in preserving culture and tradition while also developing new business models and creating financial success in the process.

This is social innovation at work.

FROM REVIVAL TO RECYCLED ARTS Julio Gutiérrez Samanez, Peru

New artists bring a variety of crafts to market

BY ARIN MCKENNA

Leandro Gomez Quintero, Cuba

Sandra Dooley, Cuba

Every year, new artists bring fresh ideas and diverse art experiences that add vitality to International Folk Art Market | Santa Fe. This year the market hosts more than 50 first-time artists. Among them are two who use recycled materials to portray their culture, several who are reviving or sustaining endangered art forms and many who are keeping family artisan traditions alive.

Julio Gutiérrez Samanez recently received Peru’s highest distinction given to artists, the Amauta Prize of Peruvian Handicrafts, for his work reviving the country’s colonial ceramics.

Gutiérrez Samanez’s earliest

Luis Lizandro Rodriguez, Colombia

Jesús De La Rosa, Colombia

Jesús De La Rosa, Colombia 42

work was researching and reviving pre-Hispanic ceramic techniques. During his travels he learned that Peru’s distinctive Spanish colonial ceramics — which combine techniques of the indigenous people of Cuzco with the style introduced by the Spanish — had virtually died out 50 years earlier.

Gutiérrez Samanez found two communities practicing rudimentary forms of the art. He also enlisted a team of artisans, artists, engineers, students, collectors and antiques dealers to help him research the ceramics. He compiled a library of traditional designs and began working to recreate the pieces. A chemical engineer who specialized in ceramics, Gutiérrez Samanez was not content with merely recreating the past. He experimented until he could simulate the traditional lead-based glazes using nontoxic materials, and he developed clay pastes, slips and glazes that could be fired in an electric kiln rather than the traditional wood-fueled kiln.

“Rescuing or reviving this art has been to reconnect with my other roots, my Hispanic, Arabic, European and Asian culture, which — together with my Native American culture — makes me universal, gives me personality, cultural identity and pride for my ancestry, traditions and history,” Gutiérrez Samanez said. “All of that makes me different in the context of globalization.”

Gutiérrez Samanez has spent 37 years disseminating the techniques he developed to hundreds of artists across Peru through workshops and in his own studio, Taller Inca. He also introduced his improved techniques to the two communities where he discovered the colonial-style ceramics, and he has written an award-winning book titled Rescue of Colonial Ceramics.

“Reciprocity is a way of being and acting of the man of the Andes. As well as sharing food and joy in dance and singing, we share art,” Gutiérrez Samanez said. “We do not keep secrets and [we] share everything so that the new generations are even better.”

Leandro Gomez Quintero uses recycled paper and cardboard to create models of the 1942-1955 American cars and jeeps still used for transportation in his hometown of Baracoa, Cuba.

Gomez Quintero’s first venture into model making began when he was a teacher trying to help his students better understand World War I and World War II. Obsolete vehicles, “loaded down with cargo and many times broken

down,” are part of everyday life in his community, and he soon saw them as a means of portraying society. He paints and accessorizes each model to mimic the vehicle it is based on, adding details such as a tank for transporting water tied to the roof or a refrigerator hanging out the back.

“They bring humor and call attention to the fact that we are an isolated community within a country that has been isolated for many years,” Gomez Quintero said. “By showing the people a part of their everyday lives in a lighthearted way, they come to appreciate and can smile at some of the difficulties that we encounter in just trying to live our lives and getting from one place to another.”

Gomez Quintero hopes not only to introduce market-goers to his country and community but to use his earnings to complete repairs on his family’s home, which was destroyed by Hurricane Matthew in 2016. Winds of 185 miles per hour left only a few walls and a staircase standing, and 30-foot ocean surges swept away all his family’s possessions. So far he has been able to replace only the roof and some of the framing through the sale of his art.

Another Cuban artist, Sandra Dooley, began painting at 36, when she decided there had to be something more to life than being a housewife and cashiering at a gas station.

That was 17 years ago. “I can tell you for sure that my life changed completely from a dull person with very little to say … to the HAPPY woman I am right now!” Dooley wrote in her market application.

Dooley’s first venture was making Christmas decorations from eggshells. That progressed to creating postcards, followed by paintings in the style of Matisse and Chagall.

Her subjects reflect intimate moments in Cuban daily life, centered on family, friends, pets and even fantasy scenes. Her paintings often feature women distinguished by their thoughtful and reflective expressions.

There is a chronic shortage of art materials in Cuba, Dooley said, so she was thrilled when her grandmother gave her bags of remnants ranging from fabric scraps to lace and buttons. She had grown up watching 44

her mother and grandmother bring new life to used objects by adding recycled elements, so having the remnants, collected by her grandmother and great-grandmother, had special significance for her. The gift provided not only raw material but also “the beginning of my passion for making collages out of recycled stuff. I ‘invented’ the perfect combination between the little women I’ve been painting and the beautiful treasures inherited from the strong, resourceful, beautiful women in my family,” Dooley wrote.

Dooley has shown her work in Cuba, the United States, Canada and Germany. She writes that selling her art has made her a financially “independent woman … able to help my family to ‘endure’ most of the difficulties that apply to living in Cuba, and I am also able to protect animals, who are one of my greatest passions.” For the last 10 years, Dooley has used part of her earnings to provide shelter, food and medicine to street dogs and cats. She calls her husband a hero for sharing their home with 11 dogs and 14 cats.

Luis Lizandro Rodriguez follows in the footsteps of his grandfather, who taught him to gather and prepare guarumo palm fibers and to weave them into baskets when he was 10 years old. The balays (concave baskets) are used by his Cubeo indigenous group for daily activities and some ancient practices. This labor-intensive art form — which involves gathering and stripping the fiber of 60 palms and washing, boiling and dying it before the weaving begins — is primarily undertaken by men.

Designs incorporated in the baskets reflect Cubeo folklore about the cosmos. Rodriguez notes that each of the baskets he weaves has a special meaning. “At the beginning, for me, the toughest part was to memorize the designs and learn the different meanings they have.

My grandfather was very patient and started with the easiest forms and then continued with the more complex ones,” Rodriguez said.

“By the time I was 15, I mastered them all. Today, thanks to my work as an artisan, my family has education and well-being.”

The artist emphasizes the patience and calm that goes into each basket. “Everything has a time. If you weave in a hurry, you won’t do pretty designs, paintings. This kind of craft takes time,” he said.

“Through my crafts and their designs, I represent my community’s culture. Everything has a reference of our ancestors. So having people of various nationalities get to see my art is a way of prolonging and preserving our traditions.”

When he was 14 years old, Jesús De La Rosa began learning woodworking from his father, José Mario De La Rosa. “My parents told me I had to dedicate my life to the artisan craft. I slowly began creating my own bond with this work,” De La Rosa said. What began as an obligation “became my passion and is what drives me every day and what led me to be where I am now.”

De La Rosa decorates his hand-carved tableware with a straw marquetry technique called tamo, which he describes as “an ancient craft in Colombia and one of the scarcest” — a technique that has been used in the highland of Nariño in southern Colombia since the 16th century. De La Rosa is an advocate of reviving craft techniques and teaches tamo to several women in his village.

NEVER TOO MUCH OF

A GOOD THING

IFAM expansion offers more opportunities for artists, shoppers

BY SANDY NELSON Attending the International Folk Art Market I Santa Fe is one way to collect beautiful art from around the world without spending a fortune on travel.

Here, it’s the artists who do the traveling. And this year the International Folk Art Alliance (IFAA), the market’s parent organization, has created three more venues for market artists in addition to the flagship July 14-16 event in Santa Fe. One affiliated event — the International Folk Art Market Collection: Apparel and Accessories Market — took place in March at the Dallas Market Center, which opened 60 years ago as a space where retailers and home decor manufacturers could do wholesale business. The Total Home and Gift Show, also at the Dallas Market Center, takes place June 20-25.

The third — the International Folk Art Market at Arlington, a spinoff of the Santa Fe-based market — debuts June 16-17 on the University of TexasArlington campus. It features 35 artists, most of whom are attending all the 2017 IFAA-sponsored markets.

“The number one request we receive from artists … is for more opportunities to sell their amazing artwork,” said IFAA CEO Jeff Snell. “In Texas, we found partners who align with our values and with whom we’ve engaged in learning a great deal about building a sustainable, replicable and scalable model for sister markets so we can be responsive to the artists’ top need.”

The artists themselves say that attending all four markets offers more places to sell products, gives them more exposure among buyers and folk art organizations and allows them to sell more products in a shorter period, which mitigates the steep costs of travel and other financial risks. And more chances to sell art means greater enrichment of their home communities in ways that sustain cultural heritage.

Cultural jewels “Every market, every appearance and every exposure can bring something that can help us keep the art of filigree alive in the long term and support us, guaranteeing a future to the families in the community,” said Andrea Usai, a jeweler from the Italian island of Sardinia, whose uncle taught him how to make gold and silver Sardinian filigree jewelry.

But more markets also mean that the families 46

Nomada Ebenezer Djaba of Ghana at the Dallas Market Center. who work for him must ramp up production to give Usai enough merchandise to satisfy demand and make the most profit possible.

“Right now we are at the very peak of our production, as we will need to have enough stock for all four events. Due to the very high costs of our materials, we need to be very careful managing our finances for the four events.”

Usai wants to find a range of fairs scattered throughout the year that will allow a normal production schedule and regular paychecks to his suppliers. Until then, he makes the most of his extended stay in the United States, traveling to jewelry stores and drumming up orders outside markets. “Our main focus for the long term remains the idea of starting a school of filigree, where new generations will find inspiration to develop a career in preserving an art that is at risk of extinction.”

I nter national Fol k Ar t M ar k e t S A N TA F E

Sisters Hilda Valeriana Cachi Yupanqui and Sonia Cachi Yupanqui of Joyas Cachi usually return to their homes in Peru between markets. For 45 years, the award-winning artisans have designed and created silver jewelry inspired by Peru’s Incan and colonial Spanish cultures. Joyas Cachi employs 22 jewelers and has stores in Lima and Cuzco.

“My goal is to make my product known and to make strategic alliances to strengthen my business,” Hilda Cachi said. “In the future, we want to expand our sales in different markets. We are in the sights of the United States, as this market is attracted by silver jewelry and is increasingly a potential buyer.”

Woven wonders The risks of expansion are just as real for indigenous artists as for multinational corporations, though the former have a fraction of the resources to weather adversity.

“Our ambition is not exempt of economic risks,” said Magno Caterino of Cooperativa Divino Niño. The cooperative represents indigenous Zenú artists of northwest Colombia, who weave hats and jewelry from the fibers of the bamboo-like arrow cane. “We all could end [up] losing our money. There are more opportunities, but risks are proportional; we can earn more, but we can lose more as well. …. If the handcrafts are not sold, we have to pay for shipment back to our country.”

Since Cooperativa Divino Niño first attended the Santa Fe market five years ago, the group has grown to include 40 artists, whose work supports entire communities. “Our marketing strategies have changed radically; our incomes and our daily [foundation] have been influenced as well. Now we have a year-round schedule for production activities and logistics, so we are able to accomplish our market requirements,” said Caterino.

Gulnora Odilova of Shakhrisabz, Uzbekistan, stays in the United States between markets, to save money and to find other outlets for leftover embroidered pieces so that she doesn’t have to sell them at deep discounts. “Usually after every market, we leave most of our products to shop owners at lower prices,” she said. “More markets mean fewer low prices.”

Odilova has revived her family’s distinctive embroidery patterns, colors, designs and techniques, and her school has trained 500 Uzbek women in traditional needlework. “Embroidery … is my hobby and, at the same time, my business, which helps me not only creatively but also financially,” she said in her artist statement.

Developing more markets for folk artists is IFAA’s ambition, Snell said.

“We’ll take our lead from this first attempt in Texas. If we feel we’re ready to take another stride, we’ll move forward accordingly. If not, we’ll hit a pause button. That’s what determines our growth timeline, a kind of dynamic symmetry whereby our operational capacity will increase only in proportion to organizational guidelines for excellence. As we show we can replicate and scale in ways consistent with being regarded as the number one arts festival in the country, we’ll open new sister markets not only in the U.S. but abroad as well.”

UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL

Artists offer warm welcome to Passport to Folk Art visitors

BY ASHLEY M. BIGGERS In January 2017, Leandro Gomez Quintero welcomed visitors to his humble home in Baracoa, Cuba, treating them to a meal and showing them his jeep sculptures (jeeps are iconic modes of transportation for everything from water to refrigerators in rural Cuba), made out of recycled cardboard boxes. The visitors were part of an International Folk Art Alliance (IFAA) Passport to Folk Art trip that, led by IFAA director Peggy Gaustad, ventured to Cuba to learn more about the country’s distinctive artwork.

For nine years, IFAA has collaborated on Passport to Folk Art trips, which take the market experience from Santa Fe to the artists’ home Participants Passport to Folk Art trips countries. travel to far-flung 2017 locales, from Morocco Colombia: December 1-12 to Cuba, to delve into local culture and 2018 learn about folk art Cuba: January 12-22 in a way that goes and February 16-26 far beyond standard Bali-Java: Oct. 1-14 museum visits or even 2019 the rich experience Bhutan-Nepal: March 1-12 o f t h e S a n t a Fe Brazil-Uruguay: Oct. 6-19 market.

since 2012, but this isn’t the only country visited by Passport to Folk Art. BJ Adventures Inc., headed by Jean Zunkel, has organized 19 IFAA trips to 16 countries, including Bolivia, India and South Africa. Trips are usually two weeks long and include meals, accommodations and activities with English-speaking guides (though not airfare and tips).

Organizers consider a number of factors in choosing destinations: “Is the country a safe place to travel right now? How many artists can we visit there? Are there other interesting cultural experiences in that country that can be included in the trip? Are there possibly new folk artists to visit that we could encourage to apply to IFAA? We are always looking to discover new artists to apply to the market in Santa Fe,” Zunkel says. “We also like to add visits to more contemporary or innovative folk artists, which has not been part of the criteria for the International Folk Art Market in Santa Fe, but that is now changing.”

Catherine A. Allen, chairman and CEO of The Santa Fe Group and a member of the IFAA board of directors, has taken several trips with BJ Adventures. She values the small group sizes (six to 10, rather than the 20 to 30 standard on other trips), the boutique and historic accommodations chosen and the varieties of places on the itineraries. “There’s always a mix of seeing historic and cultural places, museums, old neighborhoods, artists’ workshops and interesting shopping markets,” she says. She recalls her trip to Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, wandering historic markets and mosques and exploring cities along the Silk Road. And of course, there’s the shopping. She and her husband — both avid collectors — shipped home a huge

container of finds. “The quantity and quality of folk art was outstanding,” she says.

Perhaps the desire to take home art is more powerful because the participants meet and spend time with the artists who create the pieces. In Uzbekistan, the group visited the workshop of master silk ikat weaver Rasuljon Mirzaakhmedov, a dozentime market exhibitor, who welcomed them with fresh fruit juices, lamb stew and bread — each loaf marked with the signature stamp of the family that had baked it. He, and artists he represents, demonstrated ikat weaving.

This December, BJ Adventures will lead a trip to Colombia; the travelers will visit artists from the Zenú indigenous community, specifically Reinel Mendoza Montalbo and the extended 40-artist family of Cooperativa Divino Niño, who preserve their culture through handwoven black and beige hats. The group will also visit Artesanías de Colombia, an organization that preserves folk art traditions and promotes Colombian identity and culture through its programs.

“When visiting the community, we learn firsthand of the impact of what they’ve learned attending the Santa Fe market and the results of what they have done with their earnings,” Zunkel says. “When you go on a Passport to Folk Art trip, you get to meet [the artists] in their home countries and receive the appreciation back tenfold.

You go not expecting this but are almost overwhelmed by the warm welcome and invitation into their lives and homes. It is truly a folk art family.”
