Meztli Projects is a collective of contemporary Indigenous artists that promotes the creative development of Native and Indigenous Peoples by providing an ecosystem that reconnects generations, supports cultural production, and contributes to knowledge building and transmission.
As Maker-in-Residence at Craft Contemporary, their residency, entitled “Laboratorio Fuego Medicinal,” explores fire as ritual and material force. The project centers natural dyes, textiles, and artistic forms rooted in Indigenous cosmogony, drawing particularly on California’s unique native plants and minerals that, when fired, produce a broader range of natural colors than found anywhere else in the world.
