Teococuilco, birthplace of Oaxacan artist Alejandro Santiago, is a pueblo of grandparents & children. Like countless villages across the globe, working age men and women have been forced to leave in search of jobs. “Twenty Five Hundred & One,” chronicles Alejandro’s passion to create a legacy for those who are gone. For 6 years, he sculpted his life-size ceramic Migrantes. The entire “family” of 2,501, was revealed at the International Cultural Forum in Monterrey, Mexico. These “lost souls” speak to issues we must confront.
