** Hecho a Mano. Episode 5:
Mario Gonzalez Chavajay
------------------------------------------------------------

The fifth episode of the Hecho a Mano ([link removed]) (Handmade) podcast is ready for your listening pleasure! This month we had the rare opportunity for an in-person interview between Socrates Vasquez Garcia (Ayuujk Jääy), Cultural Survival’s Community Media Program Manager, and Mario Gonzalez Chavajay ([link removed]) (Tzutujil), an internationally recognized artist from Guatemala who dedicates himself to cultural revitalization and education. Mario’s work is in a permanent exhibition at the Museum of Native American Art in Washington D.C. and he and his two brothers have gained acclaim and recognition as prominent Mayan artists from San Pedro. Their grandfather is credited with starting the rich tradition of Art Naif oil painting in Tzutujil Mayan communities around Lake Atitlan. However, international acclaim as an Indigenous artist does not always equate to success in the form of financial security. With Indigenous
art as the main source of economic opportunity in rural areas, second only to agriculture, each painting sale holds a lot of weight. Mario tells us his story. ([link removed])
If you, dear podcast listener, are interested in seeing or purchasing Mario’s paintings, you can visit the stunning virtual gallery ([link removed]) set up by one of our Bazaar vendors, Guatemaya Art, and it will even provide you with a mockup of how the painting will look in your home!
Stay tuned as our sixth episode will feature two Zenú artists from Colombia ([link removed]) , and one of the artists recently collaborated with Disney in their upcoming animation film, “Encanto”!

This podcast Hecho a Mano ([link removed]) is an offering from our Bazaar Program to highlight artists sharing wisdom from their Indigenous traditions. The Bazaar Program is a key component of Cultural Survival’s Indigenous rights model, not only supporting creativity as a way of life and communing with the natural world, or for cultural continuity, but also because selling art and crafts is the second-highest source of income generation for Indigenous communities worldwide.


***Note: We have decided to postpone all in-person Bazaars in 2021 since COVID-19 is still spiking in some areas of the world and travel restrictions into the U.S. continue to fluctuate.

** Hecho a Mano. Episodio 5:
Mario Gonzalez Chavajay
------------------------------------------------------------

¡El quinto episodio del podcast Hecho a Mano ([link removed]) está listo para que lo escuche! Este mes tuvimos la oportunidad de realizar una entrevista en persona entre Sócrates Vásquez García (Ayuujk Jääy), Gerente del Programa de Medios Comunitarios de Cultural Survival, y Mario González Chavajay ([link removed]) (Maya Tz’utujil), un artista de Guatemala reconocido internacionalmente que se dedica a la revitalización cultural y educación. El trabajo de Mario se encuentra en una exhibición permanente en el Museo de Arte Nativo Americano en Washington D.C. y él y sus dos hermanos han ganado elogios y reconocimiento como destacados artistas mayas de San Pedro. A su abuelo se le atribuye el inicio de la rica tradición de la pintura al óleo “Art Naif”, en las comunidades mayas Tz’utujil alrededor del lago de Atitlán. Sin embargo, el reconocimiento internacional como artista Indígena no siempre equivale a ten
er éxito financieramente. Con el arte Indígena como fuente principal de oportunidades económicas en las áreas rurales, (y tan sólo superada por la agricultura), cada venta de una pintura…?. Mario nos cuenta su historia. ([link removed])

Si usted, querido o querida oyente de estos podcasts, está interesado en ver o comprar las pinturas de Mario, puede visitar la impresionante galería virtual creada por uno de nuestros vendedores de Bazar, Arte Guatemaya, en donde incluso se le proporcionará una maqueta de cómo se vería la pintura en su casa!

Manténgase atento, ya que nuestro sexto episodio contará con dos artistas Zenú de Colombia; uno de ellos colaboró ​​recientemente con Disney en su próxima película animada ¡“Encanto”!

El podcast "Hecho a Mano ([link removed]) " es una oferta de nuestro programa del Bazar para destacar a los artistas que comparten la sabiduría de sus tradiciones Indígenas. El programa del Bazar es un componente clave del modelo de derechos Indígenas de Cultural Survival, no solo apoyando la creatividad como una forma de vida en comunión con el mundo natural y para la continuidad cultural, sino también porque la venta de arte y artesanías es la segunda fuente más alta de generación de ingresos para las comunidades Indígenas.
***Nota: Hemos decidido posponer todos los bazares en persona en 2021 ya que COVID-19 todavía está aumentando en algunas áreas del mundo y las restricciones de viaje a los EE. UU. Continúan fluctuando.
