    BERLIN, GERMANY (12 / ABR / 2016) .- Sculptures exalting the human body, jewelry, jaguars and other animals and figures of gods compose an exhibit of Mayan art in Berlin.

    exposure “the Maya: the language of beauty”, which includes some 300 works created over a millennium until the arrival of the Spaniards after 1500, is presented in the Martin-Gropius-Bau museum in the German capital exposure.

    Much of the sample corresponds to the period “late classical” two decades between 600 and 900, “because we are also talking about the splendor of the Mayan culture and that is when they make the pieces more spectacular, “said curator Karina Romero White

    the sample does not include what is perhaps the best-known legacy of the Maya. monumental architecture. Instead, it focuses on his portraits of the body, clothing and animals and gods.

    Romero added that the exhibition highlights “the multiplicity of forms and visual languages ​​that the Maya themselves used”.

    There is a stylized portrait of a ruler serious face, adorned with scars as well as a statuette of a person apparently suffering from dropsy and sculptures of captives kneeling war and arms tied behind his back.

    the scars on the face and sharpening teeth are some of the traditions of body ornamentation.

    “I really striking how many aesthetic proposals Maya refer to as contemporary uses such as body painting and piercing “.

    the exhibition addresses the importance of clothing to indicate the social status of the user and includes jewelry like necklaces and rings of jade and chrysoprase.

    Vasijas as monkeys, birds, frogs and other creatures illustrate the importance of animals and the characteristics attributed to them in the Mayan culture.

    • Alphabet soup. Literary recommendation of the week

    After 17 years of writing on napkins, Amandititita finally released his first book, a collection of stories

    GUADALAJARA, JALISCO (12 / ABR / 2016) .- not only create the very, very, also writes … Amandititita came to break both schemes music and lyrics, is that Amanda Lalena Escalante, also known as the “Queen of anarcumbia” decided to go a new way and laid aside his alter ego musical for now focus on his new role as a writer, one career that began with the launch of the book “Thirteen cans of tuna”.

    “It is stronger and more powerful publishing a book to face an audience, however great it is. The music is so disposable, everything is fast, fleeting, nor enter both people like someone reading a book and you say ‘touched my soul, I also had this, you why I also feel sorry me, “she says in an interview.

    “Thirteen cans of tuna” is the result of combining his personal diary, which writes since he was 13 years, with a series of stories created at various times of his life, which will give you a panorama people who follows and who does not know, who is Amanda Lalena Escalante, woman and artist.

    But why “Thirteen cans of tuna”?

    – “To me it represents success. In the cupboard and life are a symbol of abundance. Tuna cans are equivalent to fortune “.

    ‘In the book there is a story called” bad reputation “as one of your albums, are there songs that became in any of these stories or vice versa?

    Yes, there are several songs that belong to a story or initiated, for example ‘disreputable’. But the selection of stories I did for the book does not carry the same mood songs Amandititita.

    To shape this text had to step back and let someone polished into a task that touched him Andres Ramirez, literary director of Penguin Random House Mexico, and what he accomplished left very satisfied with the artist; before I had to reconnect with the written years ago to select what is published and realized something important.

    “For me, journaling has saved me many times life: just because you have a dialogue with you and see how you were doing 10 years ago, and suddenly you realize you have not changed, you’re still the same. (Daily) did for me, but see how to be more friendly to people, it was easy to read, of course you are thinking of the public and has been a very nice “experiment.

    I also realized I wanted to accomplish as Amandititita in his first season as music
    artist. “I really wanted to cause controversy. The stories that have attracted most attention are the old and the part of the biography, when he was very chava and said what he thought, now I think what I say, “said the daughter of the urban musician Rockdrigo González (q.e.p.d.).

    It is precisely the story with his father a chapter I could not leave without writing, but the composer also clarified that it was very brief. “I speak of love I feel for my dad, but is less than one page, but I talk about how I handled the circumstance of being his daughter, his work, his royalties, how you perceive people, but not what I or I feel my memories. ”

    After writing “Thirteen cans of tuna,” Amanda looks at writing a good chance to develop as an artist without hesitation.
