PPP in Mexico
|
In early February, Doris Sommer hosted a special Paper Picker Press (PPP) training called
"Pre-Texts for Art," sponsored by
CONACULTA and the Ministry of Culture on the premises of FARO, Mexico (Fábrica de Artes y Oficios - Arts and Crafts Factory).
Participants in Pre-Texts of Art were teaching artists from FARO, staff from CONACULTA - Cultural Training Division, and students and teachers from the Universidad del Claustro de Sor Juana.
Cultural Agents will monitor the implementation of the program for the community at various FARO centers.
