Conversations between Latin American and European artists and jewellery makers

Interesting news from klimto2, an open blog where artists will work and discuss in teams, leading up to a contemporary jewellery symposium in Mexico City, April 2010. It is only just beginning, but there are already some interestingn photos there, and also makers' thoughts about belonging, one's "place", home, travelling and creating. Below is a message and introduction by Valeria Vallarta Siemelink, and the whole blog can be explored at http://www.grayareasymposium.org/blog
