Join us for a conversation on La Piñata Colaborativa [The Collaborative Piñata] and a piñata workshop with Dignicraft, and Purepecha master artisans Raúl Guzmán and Eduviges Solorio.

The Collaborative Piñata is an ongoing project with the community of Purepecha artisans who have emigrated from their ancestral land on the island of Janitzio, Michoacan to Rosarito, Baja California. Many Purepecha families living near the US-Mexico have become expert piñata makers for a US-based market, as a source of livelihood.
