? about the Mexican taco bike rime take off on pimp my bike and the Mexican Suicide Zone... Chiapas (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈtʃjapas], [tʃiˈapas]), officially Free and Sovereign State of Chiapas (Spanish: Estado Libre y Soberano de Chiapas), is one of the 31 states that, with the Federal District, comprise the 32 Federal Entities of Mexico. It is divided into 118 municipalities and its capital city is Tuxtla Gutiérrez. Other important cites in Chiapas include San Cristóbal de las Casas, Comitán, and Tapachula. Located in Southwestern Mexico, it is the southernmost State of Mexico. It is bordered by the states of Tabasco to the north, Veracruz to the northwest and Oaxaca to the west. To the east Chiapas borders Guatemala, and to the south the Pacific Ocean.
In general, Chiapas has a humid, tropical climate. In the north, in the area bordering Tabasco, near Teapa, rainfall can average more than 3,000 mm (120 in) per year. In the past, natural vegetation at this region was lowland, tall perennial rainforest, but this vegetation has been destroyed almost completely to give way to agriculture and ranching. Rainfall decreases moving towards the Pacific Ocean, but it is still abundant enough to allow the farming of bananas and many other tropical crops near Tapachula. On the several parallel sierras or mountain ranges running along the center of Chiapas, climate can be quite temperate and foggy, allowing the development of cloud forests like those of the Reserva de la Biosfera el Triunfo, home to a handful of Resplendent Quetzals and Horned Guans.
Chiapas is home to the ancient Mayan ruins of Palenque, Yaxchilán, Bonampak, and Chinkultic. It is also home to one of the largest indigenous populations in the country with twelve federally recognized ethnicities. Much of the state's history is centered on the subjugation of these peoples with occasional rebellions. The last of these rebellions was the 1994 Zapatista uprising, which succeeded in obtaining new rights for indigenous people[citation needed] but also divided much of the indigenous peoples of the state History
The official name of the state is Chiapas. The name derives from Chiapan or Tepechiapan the name of an indigenous population. The term is from Nahuatl and has been translated to mean sage seed hill and water below the hill. After the Spanish arrived, they established two cities called Chiapas de los Indios and Chiapas de los Españoles, with the name of Provincia de Chiapas for the area around the cities. The first coat of arms for the state was created in 1535 as that of the Ciudad Real (San Cristobal de las Casas). The modern coat of arms was created by Chiapas painter Javier Vargas Ballinas.[9]
Pre-Columbian
Jaguar sculpture from Cintalapa dating between 1000 to 400 BC on display at the Regional Museum of Anthropology and History of Chiapas.
Hunter gatherers began to occupy the central valley of the state around 7000 BCE, but little is known about their lives. The oldest archeological remains in the seat are located at the Santa Elena Ranch in Ocozocoautla whose finds include tools and weapons made of stone and bone. It also includes burials.[10] In the pre Classic period from 1800 BCE to 300 CE, agricultural villages appeared all over the state although hunter gather groups would persist for long after the era.[11]
Recent excavations in the Soconusco region of the state indicate that the oldest civilization to appear in what is now modern Chiapas is that of the Mokaya, which were cultivating corn and living in houses as early as 1500 BCE, making them one of the oldest in Mesoamerica.[11][12] There is speculation that these were the forefathers of the Olmec, migrating across the Grijalva Valley and onto the coastal plain of the Gulf of Mexico to the north, which was Olmec territory. One of these people's ancient cities is now the archeological site of Chiapa de Corzo, in which was found the oldest calendar known on a piece of ceramic with a date of 36 BCE. This is three hundred years before the Mayans developed their calendar. The descendents of Mokaya are the Mixtec-Zoque.[11]
During the pre Classic, it is known that most of Chiapas was not Olmec, but had close relations with them, especially the Olmecs of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Olmec influenced sculpture can be found in Chiapas and products from the state including amber, magnetite and ilmenite were exported to Olmec lands. The Olmecs came to what is now the northwest of the state looking for amber with one of the main evidences for this called the Simojovel Ax.[13]
Black pottery official, Barro Negro de Oaxaca en Estados Unidos
Barro negro pottery (black clay) is a style of pottery from Oaxaca, Mexico distinguished by its color, sheen and unique designs.
Oaxaca is one of few Mexican states which is characterized by the continuance of its ancestral crafts, which are still used in everyday life.
The color of barro negro is due to the properties of the clay, and is not colored. The earth used to extract the clay is cleaned to remove impurities, which can take a month of soaking and settling out the clay from the rest of the soil. After this process, each piece takes about twenty days to complete.
Traditionally, the clay is molded on plates balanced on rocks so that they can be spun by hand. Modern potters' tools are not used. Large pieces, such as cantaros are fashioned from the bottom up adding clay as the piece grows. After it is shaped, the pieces are set to dry in a well-insulated room to protect them from sudden changes in temperature. Drying can take up to three weeks.
If the piece is to be polished so that it turns out shiny black when finished, it is polished when the piece is almost dry. The surface of the piece is lightly moistened and then rubbed with a curved quartz stone. This compacts the surface of the clay and creates the metallic sheen and dark color during a long process of firing. This is also the stage when decorative accents such as clay flowers or small handles are added. The designs of barro negro objects are unique to this area, and now available for you!!

Murals and Mysteries of the Maya - William Saturno, PhD
The Thrill of the Find: Murals and Mysteries of the Maya
Wednesday, January 21, 2015
William Saturno, PhD, assistant professor of archaeology, Boston University; director, Proyecto San Bartolo/Xultún, Instituto de Antropologia e Historia, Guatemala; research associate, Peabody Museum, Harvard University
While seeking refuge from the grueling heat of the Guatemalan jungle, William Saturno crawled down a looter’s trench to rest in the shade. He casually turned on his flashlight and gazed up at 2,000-year old Maya murals in the site now known as San Bartolo. Nearly a decade later but only five miles away, Saturno and his student Max Chamberlain uncovered an earthen mound hiding a Maya house adorned by murals unlike any ever found before. Enjoy tales of Saturno’s adventures and discoveries, and learn what these stunning murals reveal about the Maya, their lives, and their society.
Drugs and Sacred Plants in Mexico´s History | Plantas Sagradas en las Américas
Speakers and presentations (This panel took place on February 24, 2018):
Julio Glockner - Crónica de una incomprensión: de la embriaguez diabólica a la alucinación bioquímica.
Antonella Fagetti - Uso ritual de enteógenos entre los pueblos originarios de México: pasado y presente.
Ricardo Pérez Montfort - Científicos, esotéricos, literatos y artistas. Conocimiento y creación en torno de las drogas mexicanas (1930-1945).
The Sacred Plants in the Americas conference was held on February 23, 24, and 25, 2018 in Ajijic, Jalisco, Mexico. The conference had the purpose of building a bridge between indigenous and traditional psychoactive practices, psychedelic science, and drug policy through multidisciplinary and intercultural dialogue. In a context in which drug policy reforms are temporary, we consider it relevant to build spaces for discussion about psychoactive species and their growing multiplicity of uses. Moreover, it also sought to give voice to the indigenous people, who have been knowledgeable about psychoactive plants since ancient times, and they presented several lectures at the conference.
El congreso Plantas Sagradas en las Américas se realizó los días 23, 24 y 25 de febrero del 2018 en Ajijic, Jalisco, México. Tuvo la finalidad de construir un puente entre las prácticas indígenas y tradicionales de psicoactivos, la ciencia psicodélica y las políticas de drogas; mediante el diálogo multidisciplinario e intercultural. En un contexto en que las reformas a las políticas de drogas son coyunturales, consideramos relevante construir espacios de discusión sobre las especies psicoactivas y su creciente multiplicidad de usos. Además se buscó dar voz a los indígenas, que han sido conocedores de las plantas psicoactivas desde tiempos ancestrales, por lo que ellos impartirán las conferencias magistrales durante el congreso.

Number 8 Pete the Gnome
Tennessee woman Heather Andrews had already described garden gnomes as “creepy”. Therefore, it was only fitting that a friend of hers would sometimes gift her with such statues, as a joke. At one point in 2014, she accidentally broke one of the gnomes and found something inside. Andrews tried to find an explanation but no one at Target, where the gnome was purchased, or at the Chinese factory, where it was made, knew anything about it. She even made a Facebook page for the gnome, nicknamed “Pete”, in hopes that people online would give her some answers.
Number 7 Old Banknote
While working with a wooden statue, Australian art experts found a banknote inside its hollowed head. The discovery was made in 2016, while the piece was being prepped for auction. The banknote was larger and stranger than present-day bills. The statue statue went on display in Melbourne, London and Hong Kong prior to being auctioned off.
Number 6 Letters Inside a Statue
In St. Agueda, Spain, a preservationist discovered two letters inside a 200-year-old statue. They’d been written in 1777 by a clergyman from the Burgo de Osma Cathedral, named Joaquin Minguez. The letters offered a detailed description of life in the region at the time. The clergyman wrote about the harvest, popular pastimes, common things and community affairs. The message from the past also featured information about Manuel Bal, the artist who’d created the statue, and about King Carlos III, who ruled Spain at the time. The carefully handwritten documents were found inside the statue. Based on the abundant information they revealed, it’s quite clear that Minguez had purposefully created one of history’s earliest time capsules.
Number 5 Confederate Time Capsule
In Orlando, Florida, a statue dating back more than a century revealed a Confederate time capsule as it was being relocated. Nicknamed “Johnny Reb”, the statue caused public outcry because many saw it as a symbol. A decision was made in 2017 to move the 800-pound statue.
Number 4
As law enforcement develops new techniques and technologies for detecting suspicious packages, they are forced to adapt. While hiding substances inside of statues isn’t anything new, it seems that another method has taken shape in recent years. Rather than placing the them inside, they are embedding them into the statue’s structure to increase their chances of avoiding detection.
Number 3 Golden Buddha
The Golden Buddha statue has had an incredible journey from being forgotten to being considered one of mankind’s most impressive sculptures. In 1955, in Thailand, a group of construction workers were moving a statue of Buddha to a new building. It had been kept under a simple tin roof for roughly 2 decades as the temple, at the time, wasn’t big enough to house it. As they were positioning the statue on the pedestal, the ropes snapped and it fell on the ground. A piece of the plaster covering it cracked and gold started to shine through. The works were stopped and the rest of the plaster was carefully removed. Beyond the appearance of an ordinary statue was the masterpiece’s true nature-a 9ft 8 tall, 5.5 ton heavy statue of Buddha, made entirely out of gold. The masterfully-crafted statue consisted of 9 pieces that fit smoothly together, most likely so transportation would be easier. Inside the plaster there was also a key that could be used to disassemble the structure. Judging by the egg-shaped head and the style of the statue, it had most likely been cast in India at some point during the 13th or 14th century. Then, in the 18th century it was covered in plaster.
Number 2 Human Teeth
For a long time, nobody in the Mexican parish of San Bartolo Cuautlalpan knew there was more to one of their wooden statues. The Christ of Patience depicts the seated, gazing off into the distance and seemingly gasping for air. The statue is roughly 300 years old and, in 2014, a team of specialists took it for restoration. That’s when they discovered something behind the statue’s tormented face. They found that eight of its teeth had actually come from an adult human being. An X-Ray revealed the teeth, which were in perfect condition, and their position inside the statue’s mouth.
Number 1 Monk
Some decades ago, a Dutch private collector bought an old statue of Buddha on the art market. In the 1990s, as the piece underwent restoration, an incredible discovery was made. Inside the statue were the perfectly preserved 1,000 –year-old remains of a monk sitting in the lotus position.

Mexican Pyramids on American Walls: Revivals, Restorations, Reinventions
THE MANTON FOUNDATION OROZCO LECTURE
James Oles, Senior Lecturer, Art Department, and Adjunct Curator of Latin American Art, Davis Museum, Wellesley College
In 1921, Mexican painter David Alfaro Siqueiros called on his fellow artists to absorb the synthetic energy of pre-Columbian civilizations while avoiding lamentable archaeological reconstructions. This lecture explores the diverse ways that muralists envisioned the architecture of ancient American cities in several murals created in the United States in the 1930s, including Orozco's celebrated frescoes at Dartmouth.

Pool | Jennifer Locke | Red Zone
844 Chestnut Ave.
Aug 25, 4 PM - 9 PM — ends Sep 15, 2018
Red Zone is pleased to invite you to GLUE, a performance by Jennifer Locke.
Working in performance, video, installation, and still imagery, Jennifer Locke composes physically intense, sculptural actions in relation to the camera, audience, and specific architecture. Within this framework, she plays with viewing structures—redistributing hierarchies between artist, model, camera, and audience—in order to explore intersubjectivity, spectatorship, and the construction of meaning. Her actions focus on cycles of duration, physicality, and visibility, and draw from her experiences as a dominatrix, wrestler, and artists’ model.
Locke often creates a separation between the action and the audience through the use of material barriers, live-video feeds, multiple camera perspectives, wireless microphones, and mini-cameras. These audio-visual reiterations produce a ripple effect, flattening, repeating, echoing, amplifying, and displacing the action by turning it—as well as the audience performing its own spectatorship—into a representation of itself.
Locke has exhibited in venues such as the 2010 California Biennial; 48th Venice Biennale; Air de Paris, Paris; the 9th Havana Biennial; the Basel Art Fair; La Panaderia, Mexico City; Palais de Beaux-Arts, Brussels; Canada, New York; Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco; the Berkeley Art Museum; and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. She has curated for Artists’ Television Access and Queens Nails Annex, co-produced a cable access show, sung in punk bands, and given a variety of workshops. Locke received the 2006 Chauncey McKeever Award, a 2010 Goldie, and a 2012 Fleishhacker Foundation Eureka Fellowship. She lives and works in Los Angeles.
