Visit to Faculty of Art & Design, UNAM, Mexico City
My second lecture to students and staff whilst in Mexico, at the Faculty of Art & Design, Autonomous University of Mexico, at Xochimilco, in the city’s southern suburbs. I met Maestro Antonio Morales Aldana, Professor at the Faculty, several staff and many students who came to the lecture. This was followed by a tour of the campus and facilities, and discussions about our different institutions. The print facilities were tremendous, reflecting Mexico’s printmaking traditions, and I saw Diego Riviera’s curious etching press in one of the print workshops. There is great emphasis on craft and technique throughout the faculty.
