Juan Quezada: Pioneer Potter of Mata Ortiz Documentary Screening (6pm – 6:25pm)
The film is a short documentary in which Juan Quezadas tells the story of his life and how it was that he revived the ancient pots from the Paquime area in Chihuahua Mexico. He was able to make a living as a potter and change his life as well as the life of all the potters from Mata Ortiz. This short film documents one of the last recorded interviews before Juan Quezada’s passing in 2022.
