- www.craftinamerica.org. Many artists use their craft to share personal and political opinions. Craft has the ability to entice viewers to consider topics that they might find difficult. By expressing their ideas through their work, artists add meaning to the objects they create. Featured artists include glass artist Beth Lipman, santero Charles M. Carrillo, bead artist Joyce J. Scott; and jeweler & sculptor Thomas Mann. PBS premiere: May 24, 2011.

I hate this because my school makes me watch this
I would like to understand your comment. Do you hate to be told to watch any program, or is the content of this program on the messages artists craft into their pieces what you hate? Or is it something else? I ask because at 60 years old, I still do not like to be told that I HAVE to do something. Plus, I would hope you could give this program in particular a chance simply because we are all artists of sorts, and we all have the right and ability to create meaningful lives.
Amazing

i found the glass pieces very overwraught, boring and that segment went on too long. I kept watching wondering what the fuss was. Turns out, there is no fuss. Just overworked, self-important pieces.
Thank you! I think the same thing; it is a classic example of "The Emperors New Clothes." I worked for decades in art related fields (from art supply to art museums), and I learned that the one ability that is vital to an art career is self promotion; ite one thing to have self-confidence, but what is needed is what Quentin Crisp called "the monstrous ego", which is self-confidence expanded to the point of intoxication. Add that the ability to convince others (the " right" others) that your work is important and, with luck, smoozing and politicing, you might stand a chance as succeeding. Of course, while the field of art is one of the most obvious examples, this applies to life in general; be you small town boy wanting to be a famous rock star, or a young woman starting a political career, or a wanna be movie star, or someone who wants to open a small pastry shop. I enjoy most of "Craft in America's" videos. The glass segment was the first to make me wonder if society has tipped over into "preciousness" (in its negative connotations) that is bordering on decadence. But, with all that vitriol spilled, I must also say that, if the artist truly feels what, for the lack of a better way of phrasing it, a true vocation, if her art gives her life meaning, then, well it is her life. That's one of the hardest things about life, to find a reason, not just to live, but to make us want to live.
Thank you!
Always inspiring
The works are lovely, but I feel like this person hopes to downplay that the arrival of the Spanish wasn't a benign event and that the ascent of Catholicism constituted part of the "conquest" of the Native people. They had to kneel before the cross or die, just as if you kneel to a flag. As long as this is not Whitewashed like it was some happy meeting, by chance, the mission is good, but if it's to say, "See, we're all the same. " No way. Seems like the most vocal people in Native movements are the Natives who are the most visibly European. Why is that the case so often?
GaslitWorld, perhaps because the visibly European Natives don't fit in completely in either the Native camp or the European camp and therefore, have a certain unique perspective and a higher level of dissatisfaction with the status quo.
Armchair psychologist here. His wife is descended from the Pueblo peoples (she makes traditional micaceous pottery that is gorgeous). Their marriage is a successful blend of cultures, and maybe they project that unity onto Native-Hispanic relations where it doesn’t actually exist. It’s more like wishful thinking.
I myself am descended from the Spanish invaders and colonizers, and I can tell you that what they did to the indigenous people was eventually done to them, albeit in a less violent way. We Hispanics have become as marginalized by the dominant white culture as the native people; the major difference is that we have no pueblos or reservations as refuges. (Also, we’re not as culturally “chic” as Native Americans.) It’s a poetic bit of karma.
There is a resurgence of friction between Hispanic and Native people lately, exacerbated by the movement on the east coast to pull down Confederate monuments. We have a number of Spanish Conquistador statues here in NM, and some of them have been removed, causing a lot of anger. There was even a shooting incident a few months ago (2023). I think that will continue until there is a general acknowledgment on the part of Hispanics about the damage our ancestors did. We have to say we’re sorry, and so far there has been no real effort to do that. I understand that when you yourself are oppressed it’s hard to remember that your origins are that of oppressor. But it must be done.
