\u201cThe sun dies in the mountains.\u201d Thus begins this work by Mexican artists Bela \u00c1lvarez and Oscar Ju\u00e1rez, who, from Germany, are forging connections to their roots. Through photography and embroidery, they explore the grief over the loss of a loved one in Tlacochahuaya, Oaxaca.<\/p>\n

The images flow from the preparations\u2014\u201cpresence in absence\u201d\u2014with bowls, pieces of bread, and empty chairs, to the funeral rituals, where humanity becomes present.<\/p>\n

The embroidery connects the Ben\u2019Zaa cosmogony (the name of the Zapotec people in their own language, \u201cPeople of the Clouds\u201d) and its planes: the underworld, the significance of the earth, the dominance of the mountains, and the sky. This embodies Guelaguetza, cooperation without expectation of reciprocity.<\/p>\n
