, 5 de mayo #412, is re-writing its manifesto via the Morph
exhibit. The idea came about as a way to expand the collaborative
creation of objects with Oaxaca City's creative community.
The focal point of the exhibit is the famous Central
de Abastos. Blackbox founder Gustavo Fricke says that the
Central is a microcosm where economic, political, legal and
moral systems interact and the objective of the exhibit is to
analyze this exchange from various points of view. More than
25 artists collaborated via photography, video, painting, printing,
objects and design.

MANIFEST (2006)
Oaxaca has one of the highest emigration rates of all Mexican
States. In response to this, Blackbox seeks to create a solid,
high quality and creative handicraft industry that includes
several communities in the creation of new products. This industry
provides jobs in rural Oaxaca and therefore respects an ancestral
way of life that was inherited through the generations. Every
product is unique, breaks with the established and experiments
with this form of creation. This is our revolution, our way
to seek change with mud or paper pulp on our hands, sawdust
covering our faces and weaving a dream thread by thread, a dream
of autonomy, opportunity and freedom that is full of expression.
- Gustavo Fricke
