Through the theatre, the project promoted the rescue and dignification of oral traditions, local knowledge and indigenous languages, working with Chontal, Chol, Zoque, Maya, Mayo and Nahuatl peoples.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Grobet, a privileged witness of this process, built an exceptional visual archive that documents not only the productions but also the group\u2019s trips, workshops and meetings inside and outside Mexico.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lourdes Grobet and the Laboratorio de Teatro Campesino e Ind\u00edgena celebrate the artistic and social commitment of Grobet, whose work was characterized by a critical and empathetic look at popular cultural expressions in Mexico. His legacy, which includes photography, film, publications and installations, has been fundamental to the visual history of contemporary Mexican art.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fundaci\u00f3n Casa de M\u00e9xico presents the exhibition Lourdes Grobet and the Laboratorio de Teatro Campesino e Ind\u00edgena.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":204,"featured_media":119038,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":null,"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"jnews_override_counter":{"view_counter_number":"0","share_counter_number":"0","like_counter_number":"0","dislike_counter_number":"0"},"jnews_post_split":{"post_split":[{"template":"1","tag":"h2","numbering":"asc","mode":"normal","first":"0","enable_toc":"0","toc_type":"normal"}]},"footnotes":""},"categories":[178,176],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-119040","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture-art","category-leisure"],"yoast_head":"\n
