"If you go to most cantinas in Mexico City, as long as you keep ordering drinks, they give you food for free. And some of them have really incredible homestyle Mexican cooking. You know, as good as some of the restaurants and if you know which ones to go to, you can get not only have a few drinks and enjoy the company of whoever you're with. But eat a wonderful meal without paying any extra. Is that what's called botanist? Absolutely. So that would be like in Italy. You have the aperitivo and you buy a spritz or a drink and you get the little buffet of finger food. Right. But this is actually more substantial than what they give you in Italy or Spain. This is a full meal, and they'll keep it coming until you cry uncle. I'm sure that the role model for what they do in cantinas was Spain because there's so much Spanish. Influence in Mexico. David leaders are guide to the pleasures of North America's oldest capital. Mexico City right now on travel with Rick Steves. You can find out about David's neighborhood tours and the books he's written about Mexican culture and how it sometimes clashes with the United States. It's on his website, David lita dot com. Hey David, we just got a minute or so left. Talk about the sounds and the smells that you most enjoy when you're out just following your spirit around Mexico City where what are some of the, what are some of the moments that will gather? Great, great question, Rick. So the smell of tortillas frying in deep fat, the sound of hand cranked organs which were brought over from Italy and Germany in the mid 19th century. There's still all over the city and they're way out of tune. Also, the 19th century buildings, a lot of people don't realize, but in the 19th century, Mexico's great cultural influence, this was after the independence from Spain, was France. So there's these buildings that look like they were done by French architects, the ornamental architecture. If you look up, it's just beautiful because there's still a lot of 19th century buildings left over in the center historico. You know, that's part of the mark of a good traveler is taking a moment to listen and to smell and to observe the humanity on the streets, but also to look above that commotion and see the architectural heritage that contains it all. Yes, David lita is just so fun to talk to you because I think Mexico City is one of the underrated destinations for travelers, especially when you think of how easy it is to get there from the United States. And that's what you talk about in your book, first stop in the new world. David, if we could just kind of wrap it up, share, share one experience where the visitor could really appreciate and feel the soul and the humanity of the biggest city in North America. Just looking at the overwhelming number of people, surviving by selling things in the street. They give the city a vibrant street energy that to me makes Mexico City unique. I love it. David Lee to thanks so much for joining us and I'm going to hope to connect with you next time I'm south of the border. Thanks for inviting me, Rick. David liebeck explores what kind of socialist Diego Rivera really was in an extra to today's interview. You can hear it from our website at Rick Steves dot com slash radio. A young and on the rise orchestra conductor shares his favorite places to experience classical music in Europe in a few minutes. But first, author Patricia Schultz explores the reasons we travel and some insights on getting more out of your next trip. It's travel with Rick Steves. Patricia Schultz's book 1000 places to see before you die inspired us to consider the many options we have for places and sites to experience in our lives. In her latest book, Patricia tackles the why of travel, as she compiles her top travel lessons, personal stories, and practical tips. It's called why we travel. A hundred reasons to see the world. Patricia Schultz joins us today from her home base in New York City to talk about what makes travel so good for us. Patricia, thanks for being here. Oh, thank you very much for having me, Rick. So Patricia, before we get into why we travel, I'm just fascinated by how you ended up traveling so much. What got you started as a traveler and then a travel writer. One pivotal moment I was four years old and we were at the Jersey Shore was my earliest memory. I wandered away from the family beach blanket and set my mother into a tizzy calling all of the lifeguards into action and I never really felt lost. I just thought I was, you know, off on a big adventure. And this idea of discovery and excitement and the thrill of being outside what was familiar was very real to me, even in an early age. The world's your playground, really? And then fast forward to 15, I was, I was at a high school in upstate New York and befriended a lovely girl from the Dominican Republic. We became fast friends and she was going home to her family in Santo Domingo for the summer and why didn't I come along and we said, yeah, yeah, sure. And never thought it could actually happen in low. My parents who were just remarkable parents really never traveled much themselves at all other than Atlantic City. Kind of worked overtime. Triple shifts and put together a ticket and off I went at 15 on my first passport, my first solo travel, and that kicked open the door because that to me was just a whole entirely new world about which I knew nothing coming from a small town in New York State. And that made quite a deep indelible mark on my soul. And then as soon as I went to university, the minute I heard there was a junior year of broad program made available to us, was I interested. I started saving my shekels, and being immersed for a year. And a foreign culture with different ways and different everything. Madrid is a fantastic city. That's where my program was and I just fell in love with everything that was offered both within the classroom, certainly without, and it's been pretty much nonstop ever since. And you've spent literally decades thinking about travel and now I would imagine, in part because of some time during the pandemic, when we all have a chance to think about, wow, I can't travel and I want to travel. You've written a book called why we travel. Yeah. It was a very opportune moment for me to step back, reflect and find myself with all this time being stationary to put this book together. I thought, oh, I can knock this off in a few weeks because the 1000 places tomes are a very, very time consuming they take me years with each update. You know how that goes. But a book of this kind I thought, well, it's such a simplistic notion. I know why. But it's very profound and to do a deep dive into the why of anything can be very revealing and very interesting. But what I did come up with, I hope is what will be seen as a inspiration or a reminder to all of those of us who have become kind of lackadaisical or the more we haven't traveled the more maybe people aren't kind of happy not having traveled and cleaning out their closets. But I'm hoping this makes us realize all over again just how special it is and how

"Anywhere else. Welcome back, David. Hey Rick, how are you doing? I'm doing great and having you on reminds me of the fun we had when we got together a few years ago and you introduced me to the wonders of Mexico City and I came away from that wondering why does everybody go to Mexico but they only go to the coast and so few people recognize how exciting Mexico City is. I actually have some thoughts about that you know in the 80s there was a huge earthquake and a lot of bad news came out of Mexico in the 90s there was a crime problem which is very much rectified now and you know as someone who grew up in New York in the 1970s, I've felt like what does it take to change a reputation? Because New York had a terrible reputation in those days. Well, to make a long story short, Rick and 2015, The New York Times travel section put Mexico City as number one on the 52 places to visit that year. And after that, everybody started to publish positive articles about Mexico City. And it really is, I think, finally overcoming that bad reputation. And being recognized for what it deserves. And what you do as a New Yorker who is really adopted Mexico, now live there for a couple decades, you actually lead people around on tours and you do tours on murals on markets on street food on cantinas and offbeat experiences and so on, let's talk about your secrets tour to the historical center. This is the ground zero for tourists and everybody sees the highlights. What are the two or three highlights they're going to see before they get into the secrets with you. Well, just to let you know, like if people have never been to Mexico City before. I always urge them to go to the central historic, which is the oldest part of the city, and you've got all 7 centuries of the history of that city, right in one neighborhood, starting with the Aztec temple, the templo mayor, up until Mexico City today. I like to show people some of the most famous highlights, like that main Plaza, the metropolitan cathedral, the Diego Rivera murals. But I also like to take them off the beaten path and there's a market called the Mercado, Rodriguez, and it has a murals that were painted by Rivera's students in the 1930s. It's a very much working class market, but it's the kind of place that most tourists wouldn't find by themselves. Right around the corner from that market. There is a synagogue. You know, Mexico is 90 something percent Catholic, but there is a small Jewish population, and one of the oldest synagogues in the city has been restored. Now it's more of a cultural center. It's not a working synagogue, but it's in really good condition and I tell them a little bit about the history of the Jews in Mexico. You know, when you say 7 centuries of history, there is an amazing amount of history and we're sort of a little bit ethnocentric about that here in the United States. We think so and so was the first settlement or the first discoverer or something like that. But things were happened in Mexico, a long time before things were happening here in the United States. And even of course, before Europeans came, one of the most sophisticated cities in the entire world, you could say was the Mexico City that Europeans discovered. Well, the Spaniards, if you read the memoirs of hernan Cortes or Bernal Diaz de Castillo, they were just thunderstruck by Mexico. It was a bigger city when it was an Aztec city. It was a bigger city than any city in Europe. There was a population of 200 to 250,000 people there, and it really worked very well. They brought it was like Venice with all its canals in this sort of thing. It just, it's fascinating. David, when I was reading your website, you were talking about these secrets and that you're going to see the big famous bucket list things. But then you've got odd just quirky sites, a museum of cakes, you've got the biggest bag of cheese doodles, all these kind of fun quirky little insights. What are a couple of the surprises you'd show us on your secrets tour? Well, for example, like I'm going to tell you about the cheese doodle place. There's a place where people who sell bags of cheese doodles and popcorn, they buy them from a place that has them in bulk, and then they put them in little bags and sell them for 5 pesos on the street. But they're the biggest bags of popcorn and cheese doodles that I have ever seen in my life. I jokingly say if I ever want to commit suicide by eating cheese doodles, that's straight where I would go to. Right. It happens to be on a street where I take people to eat the best tacos and street food because, you know, they can go to the fanciest restaurants and a lot of them do, but they also want that experience. And not all street food is created equal. And in a city as big and confusing as Mexico City, it's good to have someone who can lead you to the right places. I love those old mechanical tortilla machines that you see on the street that cook them up. Are they still there? Exactly, there's still, if you know where to go, places where the hand they use this hand cranked machinery to make and sell the tortillas. And yeah, there's still plenty of them. And there's where you'd like a guy. Hey, this is travel with Rick Steves. We're talking with David lita. He's lived in Mexico now, since 1990 and uses it as an inspiration for his writing, David's book is called first stop in the new world. You can learn more about David's work at his website that's David lita dot com spelled DA. So David, when you take groups around a lot of people are interested in the murals, one of the most memorable experiences I had was just seeing the Diego Rivera murals in the palacio de Bellas artis. What do you like to show and what do you hope that people have as a takeaway when you give one of the mural tours? Well, one of my favorite places is the ministry of public education. That is basically where Diego Rivera learned to be a muralist. He had been living in Paris for 15 years that minister of public education convinced him to come back to Mexico and work on this mural project. His canvas was all the walls in a public building that takes up an entire square block. And you see his progress learning to be a muralist in the first murals there's very few figures in the panels and a lot of background because he was inspired by European murals Italian murals, but by the time he gets around the corner to the next patio, he becomes Diego Rivera, the Diego Rivera we know and love, where there's a lot of figures packed into each panel and very little background, and it's kind of amazing to see his progression from being a kind of imitation European painter to becoming the preeminent Mexican

"Confused feeling of what you just witnessed. I would imagine, especially for someone such as yourself who has an interest in a knowledge about art, it could be a little disconcerting, you know, kid in the candy shop sort of feel. And then everything has been spoken for. Was there anything that if you had the money if you had the pockets deep enough, you would have actually placed a bid on? I mean, it's impossible to think about some extent. Obviously, I think that there was some incredible works in there that I would love to own. The one that comes to mind is a Diego Rivera that Paul Allen bought just a few years earlier that had been previously owned by the Rockefeller family that is just a stunning Diego Rivera. I'm not entirely sure why I thought of that, but that's maybe the one I would buy, I guess. Well, so this being the highest grossing auction of all time. I think what did you mention sales totaling something like one and a half billion? Was that right? Something like that. Wow, that's just, what is it that made the auction so special? I'm wondering if part of it is the Paul Allen's story, the provenance of it. You know, the fact that everyone knew who this figure was, and you know, there was a sort of a story that kind of connects the dots between these pieces. That was definitely part of it.

"Something or transcendent into this world through creative and artistic expression as a really core venus neptune concept absolutely i mean neptune as imagination magic nation itself and Where the idea for like an imaginable realm as a kind of intermediate or transcendent realm that we can experience Not physically not the not tangible way but through meditative practices through spiritual or religious practices. That can take to those places and then art. Venus art being the translator of those visions dreams those fantasies into this realm in a in an exquisite form another example of the venus neptune person. Actually this kind of covers. Several different combinations is the romantic poet. John keats and he has a stallion of sun. Mercury venus neptune and he said in one of his letters. There's a holiness to the hearts affections and that that is venus neptune. There's the holiness to the hearts affections you can also on his tombstone. Was it was written. The words here lies one. Whose name is as writ in water and you can see the the sun the reference to the name again mercury the rich but as in water that The neptunium ephemeral just passes by fades back into the all the everything The oneness that neptune is the the Our it and the very last combination that we haven't touched on his venus pluto combinations probably my favorite example of I mentioned janice joplin. Take another little piece of my heart. That song by the way. She didn't write that was written by erma. Franklin the older sister of aretha franklin irma. frank glenn also has venus pluto so The writer of the song and then the most famous singer. The song both have venus pluto but does aroma franklin hurler sister venus pluto and she wrote that song which janice joplin saying But probably my favorite example. Venus pluto is a free to call oh and she has venus pluto square to saturn. And the weather you know seeing through her art which like venus pluto is it's intense. It's extreme it's raw. It's visceral but it's also beautiful. It's also artistic on. It's like venus with mars. Venus with pluto. I think really carries that deeply roddick expression. She had such an intense dynamic relationship with diego rivera and both artists Both heartbreakers and both you know having relationships affairs outside their marriage deeply Intense dynamics really fits the venus pluto element and then how. She painted her Her pain and experience in this speaks to venus saturn as well. You know physical pain that she was in an being confined into into her body after the The bus accident. She was as a young woman When we said in look at her artwork which is often so exposing raw and visceral There's one painting of her She she painted a number of paintings around her miscarriage. And i think there's one also if i'm remembering correctly for birthing herself and Just that the experience of birth cycles of birth sex death the death. Rebirth mystery The these are all expressions of pluto and putting that into art Finding the beauty of that even when that beauty is raw and messy and sometimes even like disgusting biological. That's very much. A i think a venus pluto expression. But it's so far it's so deep it so kind of primal love Love that cuts to the core. Yes an and just intensity and venus already being about desire attraction and pluto taking whatever it touches to the utmost extreme which can be like in. Let's say a positive manifestation and like literature could be like the like romeo and juliet Type situation where you're just like willing to die for a person in. Let's say romantic sentence of just Being willing to take things to that extreme But then also the negative manifestation can sometimes be something similar in terms of taking things too extreme or the obsessive pursuit of compulsive component which can sometimes manifest in relationships in a more Let's say negative way of being overly obsessed or unwilling to let go in in some way. Yeah absolutely the possessive element The poodle could bring in as you said obsessive expression as well Definitely can there can certainly be problematic sides of venus pluto And can be such you know. Deep extraordinary transformative sides when it's held in a in a container That mutual transformation through. Love that impulse to go really deep with another person. Perfect all right. So let's go ahead and jump into our next set of passages in our next excerpt The last one was from the ninth century. Astrologer atlema machar. And now. we're gonna jump forward. Several centuries the first major textbook on astrology that was written in english in england in the year. Sixteen forty seven. And that's william lily's book christian astrology Swim book one. He has some basics on the significance of the planets and interestingly it's structured a little bit better because he talks about the general nature of venus with an also talks about people signified and what venus indicates when it's well placed in the chart versus what it indicates when it's poorly placed so we start to get even more nuances than some of the previous texts introduced. Alright so let me sure the passage and do wanna go ahead and read this one gladly right. So the nature feminine nocturnal temporarily cold and moist the lesser fortune author of mirth and jollity people signified are musicians gangsters. Silk men mercer's linen drapers. Painters jewelers players lapa dairies. Embroiderers women taylor's wives mothers virgins choristers fiddlers pipers when joined with the moon. Singers perfumers festers picture drawers grave. Irs upholsterers lindner's glover's all sell those commodities which adorn women. Either in body as clothes were in face as complexion waters manners.

I have talked to a lot of artists over the course of the year and you know some Native American artists, other artists who, if if the festivals don't happen if the markets don't happen, then they have a really hard time making a living. So I'm really glad to see that you all have really rallied in many ways. So first and one is that the markets happening in a different way, scaled down over two weekends, so they People can remain distant from each other. Um, and also that you've done a lot of things online, too. But let's just talk about some of the country's how many countries are the artists from in total. I don't know if you know that off the top of your head or not. When we started with 52 artists. Um uh and we hope that we can get at least 40 to 45 present for the market for each weekend. Right. We started with 100 and 52. I said, uh, that would that were accepted to the market. All right. All you know, many of them were not able to get visas. Some of them had personal things, some of them because there wasn't a market last year didn't have the money saved. To do the trip. Others, uh, particularly in places like India, Uh, they didn't have money to buy the material or there was a lockdown and they couldn't go out and get the materials. So, um, We did manage to get enough material for all the booths for both weeks, and in fact, for a while, we were worried that we had more than we needed. Uh, because you know, there is a limit to the space right. So some of the artists whose work will be sold in the market are not going to be there because of whatever whatever limitations they might have been facing. Few of them they had shipped their work. Uh and we have a group called Artists, Representatives and those, uh, those people are acting like the artists. They unpacked the boxes. You know, we have a very Developed system. We have a level of fine arts services. Everything gets delivered to their warehouse. Then it gets marked. So it'll say Manuel Reyes Booth 1 45. Week one. And this morning everything is in the booth.

The volunteers can tell you So much about the artists, the ones the artists who aren't there whose work is there? I bet you anything. The volunteers have done their homework.

Uh and, uh and we also reduce the booth fees. By 50% to make up for it, And the reason we did that is because they were all Saying how difficult their year was. Right. Well, tell us a little bit more about the innovation artists. Well, you know the innovation artists are artists like we talked about earlier that work within a tradition but expand on it. For example, there's a group from Peru, Uh, because I'm happily and they make contemporary clothing.

"I think his work is maybe the most accessible on in some ways, the most optimistic it's the most illustration. ALS hey, creates images of very recognizable images of indigenous Mexicans that that kind of picture ask romantic way that when he comes to America, most of his murals are images, very affirmative images of industry and American Technology and abundance. Roscoe and CIA carols are much more dark seekers is much more political. Orosco is much more cynical about strife and struggle, and it's there Rivera just much more except sort of accessible. I think it's also the exhibition is a good reminder that David A was a second Person to have a monograph IQ exhibition at MoMA. The first one was Matisse and the second one was Rivera and that put things into perspective. He was a celebrity in the U. S. And one exciting thing about the exhibition is that we also have Well, I like to think of moralism as a concept. It wasn't just stuck to the wall. It wasn't necessarily frescoes in C two that could move. I think the idea of moralism was transported and disseminated all across a lacrosse Mexico but also the US through lithographs through portfolios, and that's very much the case of David are. We have, um Portfolio that we showed in the exhibition where you can see lithographs of this of sections of murals that he painted in Mexico, and this portfolio traveled around the U. S for six years. Wow. That's so interesting, so I'm okay. So I think people are maybe listen, anything I can picture What a Diego Rivera. A piece of his work is like What about Roscoe and Siqueiros? How did they did they compare to another where they were They wildly different in terms of their work. Or what was there? Sort of a A nun? Derlei. It was there something that was a conduit between the work. I think all three artists had very distinct styles and each of the artists than impacted US artists in very different ways. How would you let's talk about Roscoe because you mentioned the Pomona that promote of Prometheus. But first, could you describe that for our listeners for people who don't know what that looks like? Yeah, that mural is in the dining hall is still is. Students can have lunch and amazing. That's amazing, right to be around these murals and to study. Um, although school was a much more kind of Centered on universal ideas. He also Pollo Greek studies and culture and mythology. And so he's using Prometheus as this man coming out of the fire kind of renewal of mankind, and he was more interested in these more bigger ideas. That would be analogies, perhaps off society. Where cicadas Um hey, was much more politically strident, a much more forceful. They were all in imbued drama into their paintings for very different ways. Now, Jackson Pollock comes into play with both Roscoe and secure owes. How so? So Jackson Pollock is a young 17 year old went with his brother in 1930 just see the painting that a Roscoe and bathe at Pomona College. He called it the best painting in the Western Hemisphere. And he kept a photograph of it in this studio throughout the 19 thirties and in the exhibition we've juxtaposed Easel paintings by of Roscoe and Pollock. And the comparison is just so striking. Get it open to the book like that, Pacey! Yes. Oh polic sort of absorbs from Orosco. The sense of money, monumental forms fragmented forms, brooding color, that sense of strife and upheaval. And a very expressive kind of visceral brushstrokes. And then what was pox relationship to secure those? Yes, in 1936 cicadas comes to the US to New York, and he opens the experimental workshop. And one of the people who signed up for this workshop was Oh does sorry public and the the workshop had two purposes. One was to create art works for political events. And then the second one was really to experiment because that was also a revolutionary idea. It wasn't just Um, about revolutionary context of political context. But tied to that was a use off different techniques of different materials. That was pretty revolutionary that went hand in hand with this idea of revolutionary art. And so they're practicing, um, dripping pains using spray paint airbrush is different types of enamel thinks painting that would be used for cars, for example, they would use it on campuses. Do we know if Polic ever acknowledged them as influences know it's interesting. So there's Harold Bloom has this idea of the anxiety of influence and that very much characterizes politics relationship to the Securities workshop in the unconventional painting techniques that he very much absorbed that his family and friends acknowledges being influences on him. But when he began to do the drip paintings in 1947, and was heralded for being so original That point. I think it was hard for him to go back and recognize this very formative experience that he'd had in the thirties. We talked earlier about the accessibility of the popularity of Diego Rivera, but his popularity did start to wane in the forties. Why Well, so for several things kind of worked against the acceptance of Rivera, one from the left, he was castigated for working with the capitalists. So the left wing politics political wing of the American landscape was even beginning in. 1932 was already castigating him because he he signed he was working for all the castle is in America. He was a sellout. And then after the Rockefeller Center mural was Bird and then destroyed. Rivera went back to Mexico on his American career. At that point was really destroyed. It became very famous. He was the most famous work artist in America because newspapers all across the country covered the censorship that it happened to this Mexican artist, But it did destroy his. His career in America no longer had any any mural commissions and back in Mexico. He continued to make Urals in Mexico for the Mexican government. But some of his easel paintings began to sort of re channel images that he had done earlier. And so he was seen as somebody that was repeating himself, making these portrait's of indigenous. We're old population the women of to want to pack. It seemed less intense and less dynamic than the original paintings of those those subjects that he had done. How did the Mexican muralists inspire the federal art programs? The commission's by FDR. That's so interesting. So George Biddle, who was a patrician from Philadelphia, was a friend of Roosevelt's had gone to school with Roosevelt. Was also an artist, and he'd gone down to Mexico and work with Rivera. And once Roosevelt became president. Immediately after Biddle sent him a letter saying that the the President Obregon in Mexico had hired artists at Plummer's wages to depict the social ideals of the Mexican revolution, and that there were artists in America eager to depict the Social Revolution under Roosevelt. And it was that letter that Roosevelt gave to his Treasury secretary that led to artists big part of the work programs initiated under the new deal. How do we see the influence of the Mexican artist done by the American artists under this federal program? Well, we see it in terms of the iconography, the visual the vocabulary. We have one good example that we, um, side today. Actually giving a tour tour does since, um Philip ever good. You see the use of really strong, vivid, bold colors, the really busy foreground of figures working in different types of industries of mining the coal industry on did you? We see a bunch of these studies. But what's interesting, I think when people start comparing the WFP murals and the studies to the Mexican muralists is that the content content is perhaps slightly less politically over to than the Mexicans. I think the Mexicans, um Really embrace that the more communist socialist ideology than the Americans because of the For the under the W.

It's Sunday, January 17th 2021 headlines are next Live from NPR NEWS. I'm Barbara Klein. President elect Joe Biden has unveiled an aggressive and ambitious agenda for his first days in office. NPR's Mara Liasson has details. No president has faced so many crises all at once on assuming office. Incoming chief of Staff Ron Claims says Biden will confront four overlapping crises, the pandemic, the recession, climate change and racial justice. And claim outlined a flurry of executive orders that Biden will sign right away on day. Two claims says Biden will issue orders to help safely reopen schools and in the first month he will unveil a second covert recovery package building on the $1.9 Trillion bill he laid out last week. There's a lot Biden could do himself through executive action. But to pass legislation through and evenly divided Senate, Biden will need the help of Republicans. And although business groups like the Chamber of Commerce have praised some of his proposals, it's not clear if Republicans are willing to work with the new president. Mara Liasson NPR news Los Angeles has passed a milestone in the number of covert 19 cases, headache. Lynn heard these reports. The county topped one million infections this weekend, according to state officials. Los Angeles County is the first in the U. S to have reach that figure, along with 253 more deaths reported Friday. The total number of fatalities is now over 13,000 Also confirmed the county's first case of the more contagious be 117, the same variant first discovered in the UK, Although the new strain doesn't appear to be more virulent, officials say it is transmitted much more easily.

In neighboring Pakistan. A vaccine has been approved, but the BBC's Dilma give Oring reports Islamabad doesn't know where the doses will come from, does the underlying tension between India and Pakistan the fraud political relationship? At the moment. Pakistan's implying that it hasn't approached India about applies anyway. Therefore, my asking it look the possibility of Western countries. Perhaps there are other manufacturers, of course in other countries. But there's also the global vaccine alliance, which may help out there trying to give free doses for about 20% off populations in countries that needed Pakistan should be on that list. Again. It won't meet all its needs on the timing of that isn't very clear. The BBC still make covering this is NPR from KQED News. I'm queen IQ him. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted unanimously this week to recommend historic status to a Diego Rivera mural at the San Francisco Art Institute. Here to explain is KQED, Sarah Hodgkiss and Sarah. This was initiated because the Art institute is considering selling the mural which could fetch up to $50 million to pay off a big loan. Yes, and what the borders Supervisors did on Tuesday was began the process of landmark designation for this 1931 mural. Now the Planning Department and the Historic Preservation Committee will weigh in and write about the historical significance of the mural, essentially creating a dossier about it. And then the supervisors will review that once again and decide finally how to vote. So what is the significance of this mural? So it's just one of three Diego Rivera murals that we have here in San Francisco, and the Mirror's name is the making of a fresco showing the building of a city. So it portrays some of the historic figures that are linked to San Francisco history. And it also depicts the industrial workers who actually Built the city. It's emblematic of digger various practice, and I imagine the Art institute isn't too happy about this move. Yes, so as if the eye is a small school with a storied history, and it's had a lot of financial troubles over the years for a variety of different reasons. The board of S FBI were some of the only voices on Tuesday they were arguing with the supervisors to not give landmark status to the mural, at least not yet. So the mural is S FBI's most valuable asset, and the board wants flexibility to use it to secure a bridge loan, which they say is essential to get them through the pandemic and beyond. That was KQED artist Sarah Hodgkiss will tweet out a link to her story.

Um, tell us a little bit about you know how you find the artist that you represent, And you know, you have any stories of the relationships with some of these people like a mop allay their arts collective group, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, they They were here for folk art market last year and, um, and they stopped into the shop and and showed me some of their work and we just kind of hit it off and And left some work with me and on so that was great. You know, it's funny because it's like it's interesting. I get that question a lot about how I how I find the artists and it almost feels like they find me in a lot of the ways to you know, it's really a synergistic kind of relationship. You know, It's a lot of the artists. You know, I do stumble upon on things like Instagram and things like that. But In Oaxaca, for example, you know, it's um It's kind of like going into the shops and and seeing work that I like and sing. Oh, is Alberto. Who does is he? Where is he here? You know, it's like a zoo. Go get some coffee, or you know what I mean? So it's like it's a real, um You know, I tend the generate relationships through projects. You know, that's kind of my most so s so this has been a way for me to develop friendships and meet people. Right first ate something about the exhibition. That's up right now. Yeah. So exhibition up right now is called bending Gulas or Benny Gula by Gabriella Merak. Um Gabrielle is a Zapotec artist from Oaxaca. On Benny. Go loll eyes, appetite for ancient people, and, uh, Gabrielle is a printmaker. Like many of the artists I work with. On the show up right now is mostly representations of Zapotec deities. Um, A lot of the imagery is based on Um, what are what are known as Zapotec earns? Um, though They could be more kind of like, um Vehicles to communicate with duties rather than you know, storage vessels for ashes or something, but But there it's a really rich, powerful show full of detail full of ancestors and magic. It zah really wonderful show in her work is just very, very powerful. S so that's up for a while. I don't have another show scheduled till February. Just because of all the cove it madness. I just haven't had that didn't feel like it was good toe schedule Anything till later, so her show will be a probably at the very least through the end of January. Um, you know, I work with some local folks like tearing last gun. Uh, Jason Garcia. They both had shows that the gallery um and I really enjoy having this this mix of folks that are here in Santa Fe. Have roots and also kind of bringing in other cultures, bringing in other connecting threads because, you know, it's interesting when you look at, you know, just the timeline of history. All of those reasons they've all been connected. You know these borders that separate You know, Mexico and the U S. You know they they're fairly new and you know, so all of these cultures have really intermixed and and connected over over the millennia and So I think it's really cool to just to have worked at that kind of explores that Um, right. Yeah, well, you also said you have a love that you have these contemporary artists and a number of them live and work among us here in San today. Like you, said Terrence last gun Hollis Cheeto He does. B B work is awesome. Jason Garcia's from Santa Clara Pueblo, and then you also represent You represent the historic artists who created Prince Historical Prince? Yeah, you tell us a little bit about the tradition of Prince. The Mexican modernism, Prince. Sure, sure. Yeah, it's um You know, there's there's a long history of printmaking in Mexico and you know it kind of inherited from the Spanish A little bit. Um, but You know, kind of, I would say, probably the most. The most iconic or well known printmaker might be Jose Guadalupe Posada. Um, he has an exhibition coming up at the Albuquerque Museum, and then I'll actually be having an exhibition of Masada. In February. But he was, you know, he didn't really get a lot of accolades in his time he worked for a publisher. Who I don't know. I seemed kind of a little bit exploitative. Um, you know, he did a lot of work and didn't get paid very well. So he was very, very prolific on really influenced a lot of artists later down the line. Kind of entered a period of not being well known until Diego Rivera popularized. Posada threw his paintings of the Katrina right and And really kind of brought him into the sort of Mexican pantheon of art history in a more kind of public way. Um, and so, so definitely I have worked by Posada. Um Rufino Tamayo's and other artists that well, you know, also being known for his painting. Did a lot of printmaking work. Um, and he was born in Oaxaca. And Francisco Toledo's another one native, Joaquin, you know, um And then, of course, all the wonderful artists working today, So there's just there's a real real tradition of it..
