PROFILE<\/h2>\n

 \n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Venancio Velasco<\/b> (printmaker)<\/p>\n

Velasco was born in the Zapotec village of San Pablo Yaganiza in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. He graduated in 2018 with a bachelor\u2019s degree and instructor\u2019s qualification from the Universidad Aut\u00f3noma Benito Ju\u00e1rez de Oaxaca. After launching the Gabinete Grafico gallery and studio in 2011 with five others, he was subsequently affiliated with La Chicharra (2014) and Burro Press (2016) before establishing his own studio Mecapalprint, in 2017. Velasco has participated in numerous exhibitions in Mexico and beyond, and also runs print workshops.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Misayo Tsutsui<\/b> (printmaker)<\/p>\n

Tsutsui was first inspired to travel to Mexico in 1999 after viewing an exhibition of contemporary Mexican prints at The Museum of Modern Art, Saitama in 1998. Following seven years in France soon after, in 2007 she enrolled at the Universidad Aut\u00f3noma Benito Ju\u00e1rez de Oaxaca, where she studied under Shinzaburo Takeda. Working as administrator for the \u201cShinzaburo Takeda\u201d Biennial of Printmaking from 2007 to 2023 gave her wide-ranging exposure to Mexican printmaking. Since 2014 Tsutsui has worked at the university\u2019s gallery. From 2016 to 2024 she was part of the Burro Press print collective. In 2024 she staged her first solo exhibition at the Alacr\u00e1n gallery affiliated with the Instituto de Artes Gr\u00e1ficas de Oaxaca.<\/p>\n
