It&#8217;s the amazing story of how an intrepid American adventurer and a brilliant self-taught Mexican artist transformed a dying desert village into a home for world-class art. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;\">When social anthropologist Spencer MacCallum walked into a second-hand store in Deming, New Mexico, in 1976 and bought three pieces of pottery, he had no idea that he was about to embark on a journey that would help lead to the revival of an ancient art form and change thousands of lives. This is an inspirational story of an artist who overcame extraordinary poverty to become recognized worldwide for his incredible creativity and ingenuity. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;\">\u00abThe Renaissance of Mata Ortiz\u00bb reveals how Spencer MacCallum encouraged the self-taught budding master Juan Quezada to further innovate on the traditional designs of Paquim\u00e9 ceramics, leading to the phenomenal and award-winning post-modern styles of younger artist Diego Valles. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;\">Spencer MacCallum (subject of the film) and Producer\/Director Scott Petersen will be there to do a Q&amp;A after the movie.

COHA is always looking for original, exacting scholars who possess an uncluttered writing style. We are looking for resourceful, sharp and motivated applicants who are seeking an opportunity to receive practical experience in the fields of policymaking and communicating with the media, and have a desire to advance progressive development on political, economic, and trade matters throughout Latin America and Canada. As the jockeying for internships can, at times, be rather competitive, in applying for such positions we ask potential applicants to send us the following documents to ensure we are recruiting the most qualified candidates: cover letter, r\u00e9sum\u00e9, writing sample, transcripts, 2 letters of recommendation, and a completed COHA internship application form.
