Mujeres del Barro Rojo Short Film

This is a short film about women and clay. It follows the Mateo family through their process of making pots while touching on topics such as gender, craft, family, and matrilineal heritage. A collaboration project between the Mujeres del Barro Rojo [San Marcos Tlapazola, Oaxaca, Mexico] and the film crew [Portland, Oregon, USA], the film seeks to break traditional documentary tropes and pose an alternative to dominant narratives surrounding contemporary craft and ceramics.
