Martha and I had the incredible opportunity to exhibit Loter\u00eda: Luck Talks (La suerte que habla<\/em>)<\/strong> at the Nuit Blanche festival in Montreal, hosted at the beautiful Espacio M\u00e9xico<\/em> on March 1, 2025.
\nThe night was an absolute blast and a tremendous success![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”823″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

A huge thanks to Remigio Vald\u00e9s Hoyos and the incredible team at the Mexican Consulate General, and to all our friends who came out to support, cheer, and play \u00a1Loter\u00eda!<\/p>\n

This venue in Montreal was particularly special, as we had the riddles\/Coplas<\/em> translated into French. Thank you, Alejandra Bernal! It was amazing to watch everyone engaged, playing our Loter\u00eda: Luck Talks<\/em> game in three different languages!<\/p>\n

A major addition to our exhibition was the creation of enramadas de Papel Picado<\/em> (cut-paper banners) crafted specifically for La Loter\u00eda Opina<\/em> by the fabulous maestro Ren\u00e9 Mendoza. These banners featured six unique designs adapted from our Loter\u00eda cards: El Secuestrado, La Feminista, La Catrina, La Pi\u00f1ata, El Pa\u00f1uelo, and El Coraz\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Ren\u00e9 Mendoza is one of the very few artisans in the town of San Salvador Huixcolotla, in the state of Puebla, who still manually cuts and creates unique designs in papel picado. Though the town is known for the manufacture of papel picado, most production today is machine-cut \u2014 making Ren\u00e9\u2019s handmade work even more extraordinary. Visiting his home and workspace and meeting his family in person was an unforgettable experience.<\/p>\n
