This book invites readers to understand and invest in the living legacy of folk art as a way to participate in the human story of the handmade -- and to make a meaningful impact on lives world-wide. The Work of Art by Carmella Padilla (Available July, 2013) examines the role of folk artists in the twenty-first century, recognising their power as creative and socially responsible champions for global change, connection, and cultural sustainability. Through interviews with folk artists from Mali to Madagascar to Cuba, Peru, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, and beyond, Padilla introduces us to individuals and communities who are using their handmade traditions to overcome poverty, gender inequity, environmental degradation, ethnic conflict, and limited opportunities for political, educational, and social advancement.
Carmella Padilla is an award-winning journalist and author of many titles including Conexiones: Connections in Spanish Colonial Art (Museum of Spanish Colonial Art). A native of Santa Fe, Padilla has lived in La Cíenega since 1995.
