Sinopse

In the vibrant world of artisanry, where creativity and tradition intertwine, lies a captivating tale of three amate artists from the heart of Mexico. Their journey takes us on an exploration of cultural heritage, globalization, and the indomitable spirit of creativity.

As the demand for amate art soars in the global marketplace, these artists find themselves caught between the allure of economic opportunity and the preservation of their cultural identity. They must navigate the delicate balance of catering to international tastes while remaining true to their roots, their traditions, and the essence of their art.

Their stories unfold against the backdrop of the village of San Miguel, a place where tradition and innovation converge. Here, the artists pour their souls into each piece of amate paper, transforming it into a canvas of cultural expression. We witness their struggles and triumphs as they strive to make a living from their art, support their families, and safeguard their cultural heritage.

Through their experiences, we gain a deeper understanding of the intricate relationship between art, culture, and commerce. The artisans' journeys illuminate the challenges and opportunities of globalization, urging us to reflect on the importance of supporting and preserving the unique cultural expressions that enrich our world.

This book is a celebration of the resilience of the human spirit, the power of community, and the enduring value of handmade art. It invites us to join the artisans on their extraordinary journey, to witness their unwavering dedication, and to be inspired by their unwavering commitment to their craft.

As we delve into the lives of these remarkable artists, we are reminded of the importance of ethical consumption, fair trade practices, and cultural awareness. Their stories serve as a clarion call for action, urging us to support artisans, promote cultural diversity, and advocate for policies that empower creative individuals and safeguard their livelihoods.

    A brilliant fully illustrated biography that brings Terry Pratchett’s universally beloved Discworld to life as never before and pays tribute to an enduring creative collaboration. 
    “It's still magic, even if you know how it's done.” –Sir Terry Pratchett 
    Designing Terry Pratchett’s Discworld is a celebration of Discworld art and a brilliant homage to the decades-long collaboration between artist Paul Kidby and Sir Terry Pratchett that takes readers behind the scenes of one of the great creative partnerships. 
    It shows how the Discworld was brought to visual life—from the earliest sketches to the final magnificent masterpieces—and how Pratchett and Kidby were influenced by art and pop culture, fusing them into the Discworld universe. While Pratchett was the undisputed creative fountainhead, for three decades Kidby has been the artistic force taking the people, places, and pieces of man-eating luggage from Terry's ever-fertile imagination right into our world. 
    Packed with never-before-seen art and the stories behind it, it is a must-have for Pratchett fans of all ages. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

    How dull plays are killing theatre and what we can do about it.
    		 
    Had I become disenchanted with the form I had once fallen so madly in love with as a pubescent, pimple-faced suburban homo with braces? Maybe theatre was like an all-consuming high school infatuation that now, ten years later, I saw as the closeted balding guy with a beer gut he’d become. There were of course those rare moments of transcendencethat kept me coming back. But why did they come so few and far between?
    		 
    A lot of plays are dull. And one dull play, it seems, can turn us off theatre for good. Playwright and theatre director Jordan Tannahill takes in the spectrum of English-language drama – from the flashiest of Broadway spectacles to productions mounted in scrappy storefront theatres – to consider where lifeless plays come from and why they persist. Having travelled the globe talking to theatre artists, critics, passionate patrons and the theatrically disillusioned, Tannahill addresses what he considers the culture of ‘risk aversion’ paralyzing the form.
    		 
    Theatre of the Unimpressed is Tannahill’s wry and revelatory personal reckoning with the discipline he’s dedicated his life to, and a roadmap for a vital twenty-first-century theatre – one that apprehends the value of ‘liveness’ in our mediated age and the necessity for artistic risk and its attendant failures. In considering dramaturgy, programming and alternative models for producing, Tannahill aims to turn theatre from an obligation to a destination.
