Synopsis:
Teococuilco, birthplace of Oaxacan artist Alejandro Santiago, is a pueblo of grandparents & children. Like in countless villages across the globe, the working age men and women have been forced to leave in search of jobs. And now, the dream of the grandparents is to reunite their families, and offer them dignified, well paying jobs.
Alejandro’s father also left Teococuilco when he was no longer able to earn a living. He moved his family to the city of Oaxaca when Alejandro was nine. The experience and decimation of his pueblo never left Alejandro and so, for 6 years, he sculpted 2,501 life-size ceramic “Migrantes†to commemorate his town and people. His “lost souls†speak to the global issues we must confront.
