DIRECTOR’S LETTER Dear folk art fans: We hear about the journeys to Santa Fe the artists make, coming from every corner of our earth — boarding buses and boats, camels and cars, planes and trains. You have also braved a journey — be it from another country, another state, a remote corner of New Mexico or Santa Fe itself. You may have faced some barriers: the TSA, interstate highways, weather, altitude, shuttles and/or throngs of fellow folk art fans.

So we thank you for your effort and unflagging support.

Over the past ten years, 690 artists from over 80 countries have participated in the International Folk Art Market | Santa Fe, the world’s largest exhibition and sale of works by master folk artists. The market has generated more than $18 million in sales — 90 percent of which has gone home with the artists. Many come from developing countries where the average income is less than $3 a day.

This year, five new countries will be participating — look for Bangladesh, Canada, Italy, the Philippines and Uruguay. Also, the largest contingent of Haitian folk artists ever before assembled outside of Haiti will be with us.

You may have noticed we have grown into a new name. The International Folk Art Alliance (IFAA) was born out of the Folk Art Market. Folk artists are facing challenges in the global marketplace, and we have expanded our organization to meet their growing needs.

In a world where folk art is often overlooked, seen as “craft” and undervalued, the IFAA offers a sophisticated global stage that connects visitors — and their purchase power — to artists whose work is the voice of their culture’s history and an expression of their community identity. As traditional cultures are disappearing, our programs engage consumers in a conversation about cultural preservation, shared values and the beauty of differences. For the folk artist, the work of art is the work of living.

Together we will continue to create a world that values the humanity of the handmade, honors timeless cultural traditions and embraces the vision of dignified livelihoods for folk artists across the globe.

Thank you for being a part of this growth, and thank you for your continued support!

A MARKET’S EVOLUTION SECON D

BY ARI N MC K EN N A

DECADE

International Folk Art Market | Santa Fe launches into its second decade this year, and with that milestone comes a new name. Although the name of the market itself remains unchanged from last year, the umbrella organization that sponsors it became the International Folk Art Alliance (IFAA) in Nov. 2013. The name change more accurately reflects the market’s role as a leading advocate and partner to folk artists worldwide.

Despite its parent body’s name change and expanding mission, the International Folk Art Market | Santa Fe will continue as the leading showcase for master folk artists from around the world.

“The International Folk Art Market | Santa Fe is definitely our flagship, and it’s the thing that, without which, we wouldn’t be in existence. It is the heartbeat of the organization,” emphasizes IFAA Executive Director Shawn McQueen-Ruggeiro.

As the executive director notes, the market is always about discovery, and this year features more than 60 first-time artists and five new countries: Bangladesh, Canada, Italy, the Philippines and Uruguay. “We’ll always be about new artists,” continues McQueen-Ruggeiro. “It’s a very dynamic

situation, and change is necessary for it to remain dynamic and exciting for the return customer. And as a result, it means the opportunity isn’t static for artists, so they can’t count on it year to year. Part of our mission is to create opportunities for our artists to grow into sustainable, year-round businesses while preserving their cultural traditions.”

“Basically,” she notes, “the vision of the organization is that we want to create a world that values the humanity of the handmade, the artist behind [the creation], and the stories that the art tells. We like to honor those timeless cultural traditions and embrace dignified livelihoods for folk artists across the globe.”

Artists will play a greater role in the restructured organization. “We believe that we’re in alliance with the world’s folk artists, and as such, for the first time, a network of artists will be joining our think tank to help us looking forward,” McQueen-Ruggeiro explains.

Online training & mentors

Expanding year-round opportunities for folk artists continues to be the major goal. Since its inception, the organization has been expanding programming that empowers artists and increases their earning potential.

“Market Readiness” workshops, peerto-peer coaching, mentorships and new marketing opportunities have been added incrementally.

Another year-round program — International Folk Art Market | Online — launches this fall. IFAM | Online will begin with 21 artist groups representing 18 countries. Two “classes” a year will receive training, combined with hands-on experience in pricing, selecting an export collection, customer relations, order fulfillment, quality control and marketing.

The new programs create a tiered approach for artists and collectives to expand and grow, with IFAM | Santa Fe providing an entry-level opportunity and IFAM | Online nurturing wholesale development.

“Graduating” artists will then sell in other retail markets.

All levels are supported by Mentor to Market (M2M), a one-on-one mentoring program founded in 2010 when volunteer Catherine Allen asked if friends from Belizean Grove, an international organization of highly successful women, might contribute in some way when they attended market. Early mentors included Marilyn Kawakami, former president of Ralph Lauren Womenswear, who has since passed away; Linda Watt, the former ambassador to Panama; Marsha Everton, former president and CEO of Pfaltzgraff; Daffy’s CEO Marcia Wilson; and Robin Stavisky, founder and managing partner of New Venture Marketing.

“It’s a nice story, because you have these women who are powerful in many ways, but who put on their jeans and come help these artists,” Allen notes.

The program now has 40 to 60 mentors with a breadth of experience, everyone from folk art authorities to retail owners, merchandisers and marketing experts.

Mentors are carefully matched to the artists’ needs, whether that is first-time training in pricing and display or personalized coaching in navigating the import/export market, and they will be an essential part of online market training as well.

“They often stay with artists for years as mentors, which I think is really valuable as well,” McQueen-Ruggeiro says. “They end up creating lifelong friendships, which is 1 4 2014 I nte r national Fol k Ar t M ar k e t | S A N TA F E

not one of those things we measure, but it’s certainly of note.”

Allen is currently involved in strategic planning for IFAA’s training programs.

“We’re looking at how we can create more venues, but also [how to create] more opportunities for training, either online or through social media and the Internet, so that we can reach more artists,” she says.

“The idea is to really help the artists become more economically sustainable and to give them the kind of training and help and guidance and mentoring they need.”

Clinton Global Initiative & alliances In 2009, IFAA expanded into the global arena by joining the Clinton Global Initiative, an organization that convenes world leaders to create and implement innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges. Members make commitments to projects that improve lives. IFAA’s commitment is to expand markets. It is on target to increase market opportunities by 18 percent in 2014 through the online and new venue initiatives (see sidebar).

In 2012, IFAA became a founding member of the Alliance for Artisan Enterprise, established through the U.S. Department of State and The Aspen Institute. Alliance members range from artist cooperatives to nonprofits such as IFAA to large retail corporations. The Alliance is holding its second annual meeting during International Folk Art Market week this year. “It’s basically an opportunity for us to work together to remove whatever barriers the artists are facing, to try to understand how retailers might be able to engage or employ some of these artists if it’s appropriate,” McQueenRuggeiro explains.

McQueen-Ruggeiro believes these global partnerships can positively impact artisans worldwide. “These are major global themes, which it’s really exciting to be a part of,” she notes. “And they look to us, which is so fantastic for Santa Fe. They look to us because we actually have relationships with over 700 folk artists. It’s part of our family that has been through the market for 10 years, 700 artists we have had experience with. So it’s really exciting to be in the forefront.”

Arin McKenna has freelanced for The Santa Fe New Mexican and other publications since 2004, and has won state and national awards for both her writing and as former host/ producer of KTRC Radio’s Art Tour Santa Fe. She is currently county reporter for the Los Alamos Monitor.

NEW VENUES & VENTURES As noted, IFAM is actively working to create more opportunities for artists.

The first such opportunity came in 2011, when master artists marketed to hundreds of wholesale buyers at the International Folk Art Market | Collection at the Dallas Market Center’s Total Home & Gift Market, which is held in June.

Artists receive booth space and hands-on training in wholesale marketing, order fulfillment and exporting basics. The 47 artists who have participated have earned more than $400,000 from immediate sales, plus hundreds of thousands from wholesale orders. Omba Arts Trust from Namibia, for example, now has a wholesale business that exceeds its retail operation.

In 2010, IFAA collaborated with Santa Fe’s Museum of International Folk Art to create an exhibit called Empowering Women: Artisan Cooperatives that Transform Communities.

When the exhibit traveled to the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture in Seattle, Washington, in 2013, seven market artists spent a weekend at the museum showing and selling their work. This year the exhibit travels to the Museum of Man in San Diego, California. Ten market artists will show at the museum from July 19−20.

In another exciting development, folk art collectors can now meet artists faceto-face in their home countries, through Passports to Folk Art trips. 2014 trips are mostly booked, but 2015 trips to India, Cuba, Guatemala, Namibia and Botswana, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan and Mexico are still open. Inquire with IFAM for details, or go to www.folkartalliance.org/travelpassport-to-folk-art-trips.

The United Nations Organization for Education, Science and Culture (UNESCO) played a key role in transforming International Folk Art Market | Santa Fe from a one-time market into an annual event with worldwide prestige when it sponsored 11 of its Award of Excellence Gold Medal winners in the market’s second year.

That year featured artists from the Southeast Asia region. Products from South Asia, Central Asia and East Asia have been added in subsequent years.

Latin America joins the UNESCO Award of Excellence booth for the first time this year.

The UNESCO booth will also have a new location that allows for better access.

“IFAM | SF has always been an enriching experience for craft artists, and for them to directly meet and market their products to appreciative customers,” says Edric Ong, senior vice president for the World Crafts Council/Asia-Pacific for Southeast Asia, a nonprofit, nongovernmental organization founded in 1964 to strengthen the status of crafts as a vital part of cultural and economic life, to promote fellowship among the craftspeople of the world and to offer them encouragement, help and advice.

Ong organizes and staffs the UNESCO Southeast Asia booth at the Market each year. “It has also been such a confluence of artistic talents from all the continents in such a vibrant and friendly environment, unique only to IFAM | SF.”

HAITIAN ART BORN OF HARDSHIP S TORY BY C R A I G S M I T H PH OTOS BY K E L LY E. WA L L E R No matter how easy life’s circumstances, every artist faces degrees of challenge and conflict when it comes to making art. Yet how much harder it must be for someone who has to contend with want, devastation, even lack of basic resources, before beginning the creative process.

Consider the 14 Haitian artists coming to this year’s International Folk Art Market | Santa Fe — the largest group of Haitian folk artists ever assembled in the United States. Six are previous participants; eight are newcomers. All are acclaimed within Haiti, and some are well known in other countries. All are insightful. All present art that tells stories deeply rooted in rich cultural earth, through media as varied as sequined Voodoo flags, oil drum sculpture, painting, stone carving and papier-mâché work.

they do not like paperwork. So by sending people to Haiti, we could take care of the paperwork [for them].”

The travelers soon wished they could take care of more than paperwork for the applicants. “The basic infrastructure is still not restored,” McQueen-Ruggeiro says. “You see trucks loaded with emergency water packets, meant to be given out right after an emergency. Now, many years later, they’re still handing out emergency water packets. At night in Port-au-Prince you see people hurrying to get home from work, especially women, because of predators — sexual predators, robbers. These are things that make your everyday life really difficult. … And the artists are working within this context.”

McQueen-Ruggeiro recalls the supervision her group received during meetings with the artists in Port-au-Prince. “We weren’t allowed just to wander the streets. We had a driver, and we had an interpreter to translate English into Creole French — and back. I tried to get some extra money [from] a bank to help pay for something. We went to five ATMs and two banks before I could get any money. How can a society function without money or, at a more basic level, regular supplies of clean water, which remains a challenge?”

Still, by the time the team had finished their work, some 35 artists had been assisted in completing their applications; many others had to be turned away simply because there was not enough time. Eventually 15 artists were given booth space; one had to drop out, leaving the number at 14. The 21 applicants who are not coming this year have a chance for future participation, though. If an applicant was accepted but not allotted a space, the application is always good the following year.

damage wrought by the tragic 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck the land in 2010. More than three and a half million people were affected by the quake. More than 220,000 are estimated to have died. More than 300,000 were injured to some degree, quite often seriously. And overall recovery is so slow as to seem almost nonexistent.

Today, four years later, many parts of the country and the capital, Portau-Prince, still lie in ruins — and this despite early ongoing international support and current help from hundreds of charitable nongovernmental organizations such as the Clinton Global Initiative. There is a chronic lack of potable water, adequate housing and uniform medical care, not to mention consistent education. Cholera and malaria are constant threats.

Herby Marshall, a papier-mâché artist, uses everyday materials, from paper bags and cardboard to plaster of Paris and acrylic paints to produce masks of fish, birds and animals.

Another painter, Merger Samedi, first began to paint following the earthquake. He originally used building rubble for his painting surface, moving on to canvas when a fellow painter gifted him with one.

Since then he has rebuilt his workshop and continues to produce art on a consistent basis.

Other Haitian participants in the market include Yvette Celestin, a papier-mâché artist; Dubréus Lhérisson and David Boyer, who make multi-media Voodoo tapestries with recycled materials; Georges Valris, who constructs sequined Voodoo flags; Marie Islande Ulysse, a painter and papier-mâché craftsman; and Jean Baptiste Jean Joseph, another

sequined Voodoo flag master. Jean Joseph did not suffer studio damage in the quake, though his house sustained some damage.

For many Haitians, making art is the road back to stability. Consider this quote from international designer and Haitian artisan advocate Donna Karan: “I was totally blown away by the creativity, spirit and soul of the people of Haiti. When people ask how to rebuild Haiti, I believe it’s in the people; it’s in their art and in their craft.”

Craig Smith is an arts writer, editor and journalist. He has covered the Santa Fe arts and culture scene since 1983.

HAITIAN ART IN A NUTSHELL “One of the compelling things that comes directly out of Haiti’s history is its being the first and probably only successful slave rebellion,” notes IFAA board member Keith Recker, whose Hand/ Eye organization has done a great deal since 2010 to assist Haitian artists.

As a result of the revolt (1791-1804), Haiti “was very much in isolation for a very long portion of its history,” explains Recker. “Out of that came a visual language related distinctly to Haitian stories, and an iconography, color choices and so on that are unusual to our eyes.”

The art also blends West African spirituality and Voodoo with French Catholicism, producing, according to Recker, “a blending of two highly visual cultures into a third unique — and also highly visual — culture. When you look at a piece of Haitian folk art, you’re taking a trip, a unique trip, and you may not know the rules. Because all compelling stories get accommodated into Haitian art’s visual language. Being an artist in Haiti is a way to take charge of your destiny. You

can’t wait around for something to happen. Every Haitian inherits access to this amazing work ethic.”

From his many trips to Haiti, Recker has identified what he calls “a sense of the sacred.”

In Haiti, he thinks, “there is a space between the venerated sacred and the sacred accessible for daily life. When we say religious, we say holy, we say spiritual, as in a church or temple. You go to it to have your experience. It’s not so much like that in Haiti. The loa [the spirits of Haitian Voodoo] come to you. They can come to you in a dream, they can come to you in a daydream, they can help you. They’re not only in Voodoo temples — they’re out and about.”

Commenting on the artists coming to market, Recker has high praise, especially for Jean Baptiste Jean Joseph. “For me, he is the Picasso of Haitian art — and I reserve that kind of compliment for people who really deserve it! He’s amazing; his skill is obvious. The way he combines textures and colors, the way he freely combines 2 6 2014 I nte r national Fol k Ar t M ar k e t | S A N TA F E

the different icons of Voodoo in order to present his own spiritual life, blurring distinctions in order to say something. He transcends any definition of art or craft or folk art you would like to bring to the table.”

Recker also commends the metalwork of Serge Jolimeau. “He’s considered a master artist in Haiti. His work is live and sinuous and fluid. It’s part of a reflection of Serge’s own personality — kind, aware, steady and languorous.”

WOMEN ARTISTS GENERATE ECONOMIC SPARK

BY ARIN MCKENNA Last year’s 10th anniversary celebration of Folk Art Market | Santa Fe saw more than its share of attendant dignitaries.

Among them was Ambassador Melanne Verveer, who was appointed by President Obama in 2009 as the first ever U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women’s Issues at the Department of State.

Working with former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Verveer traveled to nearly 60 countries to coordinate foreign policy issues and activities related to the political, economic and social advancement of women. Verveer, who is currently the director of Georgetown University’s Institute for Women, Peace and Security, was also instrumental in launching the Alliance for Artisan Enterprise, an initiative founded through the U.S. Department of State and The Aspen Institute.

As the keynote speaker at last year’s market’s One World Dinner, Verveer shone a light on the importance of artisans in the global marketplace, pointing out that the artisan sector is the second largest employer in the developing world, after agriculture, and often the primary source of income “In addition to creating jobs,” she noted, “artisan production … fosters economic communities and preserves ancient techniques and cultures that are absolutely essential for healthy and sustainable development.”

The Afghan embroidery business Kandahar Treasure, founded by Rangina Hamidi, was one of the enterprises Verveer acknowledged at the event. Based in Kandahar, which Verveer acknowledged is

‘STOP LOOKING AT US AS VICTIMS, AND

“one of the most dangerous places in the world,” Kandahar Treasure is woman-owned and -operated — the first enterprise of its kind in the area. The ambassador marveled at the company’s ability to turn traditional fine-needle embroidery into a real income for many hundreds of women. “If Afghanistan is going to have a better future … it will not happen without the women,” she said, “who are more than half of the country, many of whom have suffered greatly. But as one of them said to me one night, sitting in Kabul, ‘Stop looking at us as victims, and look at us as the leaders that we are.’”

Verveer also lauded the Rwandan export company Gahaya Links, co-founded by sisters Janet Nkubana and Joy Ndunguste. The ambassador noted that, after the 1994 Rwandan genocide, the majority of the population consisted of widows with minimal income.

“Weavers from both sides of the conflict organized basketweaving groups to create those beautiful, traditional sisal baskets made both by the Hutus and Tutsis. And they were working together to heal and rebuild their lives in the process and started weaving associations to expand training for women in this art.” Gahaya Links began with 27 women in 2004 and has grown to employing over 4,500.

When Verveer was at the market last year, she ran into friends from SEWA, the India-based Self-Employed Women’s Association, which has more than a million and a half members. “Many of them started as rag pickers,” Vervenne noted, then told a story about visiting the association in India. “I remember being there once years ago with Hillary Clinton, and she said to the women, ‘How has your life been changed?’ And one woman stood up, looking as proud as proud could be. She had literally come from misery. And she said, ‘I am no longer afraid.’ … The power and self-confidence that comes from economic independence is something all of us can understand.”

Verveer addressed the challenges many artisans face when their work is devalued. “Because artisan work is part of that informal economy, it often doesn’t count,” she said, and used an example from one of her trips with Clinton, when an economics minister told the secretary of state repeatedly that women had no role in the country’s economy. “So [Clinton] had had quite enough of this, and she said to him, ‘I’m looking out the window of this van, and as far as the eye can see, it’s women working, some of them in agriculture and many of them as artisans, using their skills to go to market with what they can sell. If they stopped working for one day, your country would stop.’”

Describing artisans at the Folk Art Market as “growth accelerators” for their countries, Verveer cited a study called “The Third Billion,” which described “the untapped potential of a billion people, mostly women, who are on the cusp of becoming a very powerful economic force to rival that of China and India if only they are empowered. And we know that what this market has done has a great deal to say about empowerment.”

WORLD JEWELRY

BY DENNIS J. CARROLL It’s easy to get overwhelmed as you walk from booth to booth at the International Folk Art Market | Santa Fe, where some of the world’s most obscure but finest craft artists have laid out textiles, carvings and jewelry that rival or exceed those found at the most fashionable and elite galleries and art houses in the world.

The market’s jewelry — in particular the smaller, more delicate items — can be easy to overlook among the voluminous displays of gloriously colored pottery, textiles and other more visible artwork. But with a sharp eye and a little knowledge of what to look for, even a market newcomer can go home with a lovely filigree ring, an exquisite glass-beaded necklace or a dazzling bracelet, items brought to market from the far corners of the world.

“The great thing about this market jewelry is that there is such a variety of styles and materials and techniques,” says Carmella Padilla, former market board member, author and authority on world folk art. Among her latest books is The Work of Art: Folk Artists in the 21st Century, published by the Museum of New Mexico Press.

“I think folk art jewelry is a great opportunity to express yourself in a really individual way,” Padilla goes on. “And it doesn’t have to be super expensive.” In the final decision of what to buy, regardless of the depth of your pockets, “you have got to go with what hits your gut, what you think is beautiful,” Padilla feels.

Peter Speliopoulos, Donna Karan’s creative director and senior vice president of design, who scours the market not so much for particular items but rather for inspiration, concurs and notes that, in essence, the market is one big lesson in world cultural geography.

“If it is jewelry you are after, in one afternoon you can

travel the world, from Niger to Spain, from Kenya to Peru,” Speliopoulos says. “Imagine the unique beauty of Tuareg silver and leather pieces…, or the exquisite finesse of Luis Méndez López’ gold and silver filigree jewelry, fresh from Salamanca, Spain, pieces made like this for centuries. You can find amazing hand-strung beaded necklaces made by the Samburu women of northern Kenya, or enjoy the fantasy of silver jewelry from Peru, incorporating mystical animals and reliquaries, crosses and semiprecious stones made by Hilda Valeriana Cachi Yupanqui.”

Everything curated and authentic

Padilla assures first-time shoppers that whatever they purchase — whether it’s a Tuareg ankle bracelet made by Moussa Albaka from Niger, a filigree necklace from Spain or ostrich eggshell earrings from Namibia — they need not worry about the quality or originality of their purchases.

“The advantage of this market,” Padilla notes, “is that it has been expertly curated, so that everything you see here is high quality work by some of the finest artists in the world.” And she points out that all market items are vetted to ensure that the artists’ work is truly folk art, embedded in the history of the region or community of its origins.

For example, the Tuareg jewelry of Niger, as well as other metal or leatherwork from the area, is often of very lightweight and easy to carry, which reflects the traditional lifestyles of the of these seminomadic desert people. Their men’s rings, often button-filigree combinations, are a good example of this and are a common male adornment among indigenous peoples from the Americas to Western Africa. The Tuareg “lived in tent cities all across the deserts and were moving all the time, so a lot of their adornments were things they could pack up and carry with them,” Padilla explains.

Tuareg jewelry, as is the nature of all folk art, is also reflective of their makers’ cultural traditions. “Every little symbol within the design means something culturally,” Padilla says. “There is some kind of cultural motif and symbolism going on in every shape, every stamp.” This is true, she points out, in the high-end silver and gold filigree jewelry from

3 7 2014 I nte r national Fol k Ar t M ar k e t | S A N TA F E

Oaxaca, Mexico. Their jewelry made today often replicates earlier pieces that were worn for celebratory occasions by the various indigenous groups and features birds, flowers and other aspects of the natural realm.

Kate Lewis, director of standards for Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc. and a frequent visitor to the market, especially takes note of jewelry and other items made by members of women’s cooperatives, but says, “I do not buy any items for [the company] or develop ideas from the products I see.” Instead, she invites artists to speak to Stewart’s design staff about their work.

Lewis says she has spread the word about the market by writing on Stewart’s blog and posting photos from the market. Writing about the market in 2011, Lewis noted, “nearly half of the artists who exhibit represent women’s cooperatives. The enormous impact of women’s cooperatives, throughout the world, is affording women an opportunity to rise out of poverty and have a market for their crafts. Listening to their stories, as they proudly display their wares, is always truly inspiring and touching.”

Resource scarcity drives innovation

TAIWAN, Ya Lei Chiang

MALI, Mohamed El Maouloud Ag Hamid

Folk artists, both in jewelry and other crafts, sometimes struggle to maintain traditions when time-honored and necessary resources have become scarce. An example is the Himba bracelet makers from Namibia, who no longer have access to ivory or animal bones. “This community wanted to hold on to a particular style of adornment,” Padilla says, “so they innovated and started creating [bracelets] made of PVC pipe that was just left lying around. This is a recycled jewelry that has its roots in an historical art form but that is also suited to this contemporary age, where recycled art of all kinds is very in.”

Similarly, and even in a deeper cultural sense, Taiwanese bead artist Ya-Lei Chiang strives through her work in the Paiwan indigenous community to keep alive old values and material traditions. In her application to the market, Chiang’s representative states that the artist “worries that not many young Paiwan villagers today understand the place they live and their history, nor do they truly comprehend the ancient oral legends regarding identity as the Paiwan.” It is through her beadwork in jewelry, embroidery and costumes that Chiang hopes to cross through time and transmit traditional values and traditions.

Speliopoulos says he especially admires the nomadic jewelry of the Tuareg and the Mexican artists. But his designer eye falls not only on the jewelry. “What’s amazing for a designer is the accessibility to all the different kinds of products and all the different cultures that are represented in this one venue. I really utilize everything I see there as a kind of inspiration — a catalyst for design, colors, patterns and textures.”

He says that when international fashion designers attend such markets — he’s been coming to the Santa Fe market for several years — they are not looking so much for trends as for “things that catch our eye … that we can somehow enjoy and interpret. It could be a color, a way something is dyed. It could be a pattern or the way a piece of pottery is painted, and that inspires a way a silk could be printed, or a pattern for a belt or other item.”

So whether you are searching for that one-of-a-kind bracelet, necklace or ring, or simply for a little creative inspiration, be sure not to overlook the amazing variety of jewelry to be found at this year’s market.

CHANGING LIVES, PROVIDING ECONOMIC SUSTENANCE AND CULTURAL IDENTITY

BY ZÉLIE POLLON It is difficult to overestimate the impact that participation in the International Folk Art Market has on the lives of people around the world. All the artists present have overcome odds to be in Santa Fe, and all remain dedicated to traditional crafts as a means of protecting their own cultures and lives. Many people come representing a village or a working collective, making the impact exponential. Families leave the market knowing they have earned enough to provide food and shelter, to send their children to school and to make their communities stronger. Even the environment — the landscape and plants that so often play an essential part in traditional crafts — can garner vital protections through the publicity and economic success of market participation.

A survivor’s story When Meeri Tuya was still in fourth grade and living in a small village in Kenya, she was taken out of school to undergo female circumcision. The tradition, though 4 0 2014 I nte r national Fol k Ar t M ar k e t | S A N TA F E

technically illegal, is still practiced widely in many Masai families. That was one year before she was to become the fifth wife to a man more than eight times her age.

Meeri was beaten from the start, due to her apparent lack of strength managing a large farm and many cattle. By the time her octogenarian husband died, the young girl was pregnant. As is custom in Masai culture, Meeri, as with all other widows, was left with nothing. No possessions, land, money or legal right to ever marry again. Even her orkila, the traditional Masai bridal dress made of ox leather and sewn with white beads and small metal discs, was taken from her.

With no one to support her, Meeri fled to her father’s house, but within hours was told to leave and never return. With her infant daughter at her side, the young woman walked for three days through the brush, sleeping in trees to avoid prowling, hungry animals. Her destination was Maji Moto widows’ village, a place recommended by a traditional medicine woman.

Here she would find a way to survive with other women also cast with their children from their homes. Here, Meeri could be safe.

Maji Moto widows’ village was started in 2007 for the great number of women, like Meeri, whose old husbands die when their child brides are still young; they are left uneducated and unable to find work to support themselves and their families. At the village, women are given the opportunity to earn an income by tending cattle, singing and dancing for tourists, charging cell phone batteries, and crafting and selling traditional beadwork.

Beadwork and daily adornment is important to the Masai, representing beauty and wealth, ceremony and rites of passage. As Meeri tells it, “In Masai culture, it is not good for a person to be without jewelry. If someone sees you without it, it looks like you are neglecting the culture.” Women are given a special wedding collar representing many aspects of their culture, including their own age and social status, love for their cattle and marital status. The colors themselves have their own symbolism, with red representing bravery; blue, energy and sustenance (the color of water for their cattle); green, nourishment; orange, warmth and friendship; yellow, fertility and growth; white, purity; and black, unity, solidarity and harmony.

This year, Meeri will be at the Santa Fe International Folk Art Market for the first time, offering beadwork for sale to support herself, her child and all the widows of her Kenyan community.

Weavers’ culture depends on rain forest Myla Abalang Carcasona is part of the CustomMade Crafts Center (CMCC) from the Philippines, a nonprofit that addresses the emerging needs of forest-dependent communities in a country with a rapidly vanishing rain forest.

At 33 and with two children, Myla learned the tradition of hinabol weaving from her mother, using fiber from abaca, a species of banana, to create intricate traditional designs. Her success not only provides food and education for her children, but is also a clear argument for preserving the valuable rain forest.

Part of the Higaonon tribe, Myla had the opportunity to train other weavers. She hopes that her work will remind people in villages across her country of the potential economic benefits of maintaining the weaving trade, including the value of keeping their tradition and culture alive. “The members of our group, the Kalandang Weavers, are dwindling, because the old women weavers are retiring and not many Higaonon women my age are inclined to engage in weaving. According to them, weaving is tedious work and requires lots of time and patience compared to being farm laborers, where one can get paid at the end of the day,” although typically less than $2.50. “We continue weaving

even if there were only a few of us. We go on because this is our pride as Higaonon, and through this we can continue our weaving tradition while making a living for our family’s needs.”

Culture is not just about the technical aspect of creation and ceremony, but of honoring the creation stories that lead up to the art itself. Felicia Katz-Harris is curator of Asian and Middle Eastern Folk Art at the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe and on the Selection Committee for the Folk Art Market. This year the committee had to narrow down roughly 400 applicants to the 150 artists chosen. The selection process involves numerous indices, one of which is the belief system that goes into a product’s creation. In Myla’s case, for example, the traditional pineapple thread weaving is considered a very spiritual cloth.

“The weaving process there involves three or more women working in communion with the spirits,” Katz-Harris says. “The process begins with a dream, so the spirit of the abaca visits the weaver in her dreams and shows her a pattern laid out on a loom. The weaver then goes and prepares the fiber based on that dream.”

Hook rugs enrich Mayan villages In the small Guatemalan village of Quiejel where artist Yolanda Calgua lives, it’s an hour’s walk to the main road or twenty minutes by pickup truck. The villagers speak K’iche’, a traditional Mayan language, and Yolanda is one of few who also speaks Spanish. Two years ago, potable water arrived in the mountainous village, and with funding from the sale of hook rugs at Santa Fe’s Folk Art Market, Yolanda was able to supply faucets and piping for six families to access the flow. Water changes everyone’s lives, particularly in a community that also makes money from farming and raising animals. But weaving is what provides the bedrock, and Yolanda is able to work alongside her sisters while her children attend school. “I want them to have better opportunities,” she says of her two children. The teaching of her art to women in nearby communities gives her hope that those women can also make a better life for themselves and their children, she says.

As with most weavers, Yolanda learned to weave from her mother and grandmother, and more recently began rug hooking, incorporating traditional designs she recalls from her grandmother’s weaving of huipils, cintas and fajas. Symbols continue to represent her native land: diamonds for the sun or volcanoes of the turbulent land, a circle surrounded by diamonds for farming and growing vegetables on which the communities live. Ancestry, heritage and community traditions, such as the popular celebration of Easter, are also integrated into traditional textiles.

Yolanda is part of Cooperativa de Alfombras de Mujeres Maya en Guatemala, a women’s rug hooking cooperative that includes more than 50 women from six different villages in the Guatemalan highlands.

Weaving and textiles have been part of the Mayan tradition for centuries, but rug hooking was adapted as recently as 2009, after it was shown to be more lucrative than weaving huipils or cintas.

Textile and other artists have been learning valuable lessons from attending marketing classes at the Folk Art Market. It’s part of a package of programs to make the work of market participants more sustainable, their impact more measurable and long lasting. The goal is to change lives by creating a sustainable living from art, while at the same time preserving cultures.

These three recent participants have hit a jackpot of sorts, expanding opportunity for themselves and their communities. Stop in and welcome them. It’s all part of a road to empowerment, and to preserving art and culture the world over.

Kids’ stuff

passports, collectibles, dance and food

BY KRIS OTA “I got Afghanistan! Now we just need Myanmar, Ukraine and Sudan.” “Wait — I still need to go to Pakistan.” “It’s back here. C’mon!”

This was my 8-year-old and her friend at last year’s International Folk Art Market. They were filling up their market “passports” with flag stickers from six continents, enjoying a morning’s worth of globe-trotting right here in Santa Fe. The market’s free Children’s Passport Project is an ingenious way for kids to experience a taste of the wide world. On Sunday, July 13, which is Family Day, kids pick up their passports near the market entrance and then make the rounds of artisans. Child-friendly volunteers, also known as the Red Apron Brigade, apply flag-stickers to each passport, offering bits of information about the countries at each station. Depending on the kids, the sticker collecting can be a cooperative adventure or a competitive race for the colorful badge that says, “I have traveled the world at the International Folk Art Market/Santa Fe.” Whatever the motivation, the Passport Project is fun, and it encourages kids to view the artwork, meet the artists and learn about the art-making process. When kids take the time to ask artisans about interesting pieces, brief but real connections can be made with people who at first seemed so different, and who now, sharing a smile and perhaps a few words, have become a little more familiar.

Young art collectors can choose from a number of affordable items at the market. Ghana’s Ebenezer Djaba Nomoda makes beautiful recycled glass beads and then fashions them into jewelry. Erkebu Djumagulova

and Maitasheva Aida, both textile artists from Kyrgyzstan, create felt dolls and animals. The Ambiance and UNESCO booths both stock colorful, fun and inexpensive handmade items, including Balinese kites, Haitian papier-mâché masks and Mexican teresita (paper flower) crowns.

Joyous family time International Folk Art Market is a great opportunity for some joyous family time. Children love the festive atmosphere, and parents, drained by the day-to-day work of managing family life, have a chance to refill the well. Everywhere you go there is color and beauty. Live music fills the air.

We had glorious blue-sky weather at last year’s market and found plenty of shade when we needed it. After filling our eyes with such treasures as gorgeous pottery from Uzbekistan and mind-bendingly intricate Peruvian gourd carvings, we feasted on vegetarian dosas and fresh drinks made from mango and watermelon.

Your family may be surprised by a dramatic lion dance, as we were.

Right next to us on the walkway was a sudden explosion of energy, swirling color and heart-pounding percussion: it was the marvelous Albuquerque-based Vietnamese group, Quang Minh Buddhist Youth Lion Dance Team. Toward the end of their brief but exciting performance, the group dared kids to engage with the powerful lion. Only the bravest jumped in at first, and then, little by little, so did everyone else. This year’s lion dance is scheduled for Sunday from 12-12:15 p.m. Don’t miss it!

Here are some more pluses to entice families to market:

Two Grey Hills Weaving Trunk Show The roots of Navajo weaving are buried deep within the heart of the American Southwest. Around 1,000 years ago ancient farmers called the “Anasazi” wove on primitive upright looms. Their descendants, today’s Pueblo Indians, grew their own cotton and refined their ancestors’ weaving techniques. The Spanish settlers introduced the Pueblo Indians to wool from the churro sheep in the 17th century.

Demonstration and sale of Navajo weavings will be at the Museum of Indian Arts & Crafts throughout Folk Art Market weekend.
