Public and private collections in Mexican and foreign museums preserve a variety of rebozos from the mid-18th through the 20th centuries. However, it has been complicated to correlate these extant pieces with exact places of production and dates. Other sources such as written accounts and images focus mostly on their social uses, sometimes places of production or sale are merely mentioned yet techniques and designs are the information least dealt with.

Sociedades homologas como Arte Gestión de Ecuador quienes han recurrido al cierre de la misma por situaciones económicas habla de la crisis vivida en nuestros días en Latinoamérica. Casos como Guatemala, Colombia, Honduras en especial Centro América, son a lo referido, donde les son imposibles abrir una representación como Somaap para representar a sus autores plásticos, ante esto damos las gracias a todos quienes han hecho posible la creación y existencia de nuestra Sociedad Autoral y a quienes la han presidido en el pasado enriqueciéndola y dándoles el impulso para que siga existiendo. Es destacable mencionar los logros obtenidos en las diferentes administraciones donde cada una han tenido sus dificultades y sus aciertos, algunas más o menos que otras pero a todas les debemos la razón de que estemos en estos momentos y sobre una estructura solida para afrontar los embates, dando como resultado la seguridad de la permanencia por algunos años más de nuestra querida Somaap. Por ello, es importante seguir trabajando en conjunto para lograr la consolidación de la misma y poder pensar en la Somaap por muchas décadas en nuestro país, como lo ha sido en otras Sociedades de Gestión.

    SÍNTESIS INFORMATIVA VESPERTINA Lunes 14 Junio 2021 VANNESA BOHÓRQUEZ LÓPEZ Museo de la Ciudad de México presenta expo en torno al tatuaje El Museo de la Ciudad de México (MCM) retomó las exposiciones presenciales con la muestra “Body Suit, boceto de tatuaje para cuerpo entero”, que abre espacio a una de las manifestaciones artísticas que se expresa a través de la tinta y la piel. Por múltiples razones, pero en particular por lo que significa que un recinto museístico caracterizado, como otros espacios semejantes, por presentar cierto tipo de arte, se convierta en el recinto donde se da lugar a los artistas del tatuaje, es particularmente un motivo de orgullo para mí y para toda la sociedad”, expresó Vannesa Bohórquez López, titular de la Secretaría de Cultura de la Ciudad de México, al inaugurar la muestra. Acompañada por Edgar Gamboa y Adrián García Solache, promotores culturales, tatuadores y curadores de la exposición, Bohórquez López también destacó que no sólo es la primera vez que el MCM se abre a la experiencia artística del tatuaje, sino probablemente también es la primera vez que un museo lo hace en la ciudad. La exposición “Body Suit, boceto de tatuaje para cuerpo entero”, estará disponible de martes a domingo de 11:00 a 17:00 horas a partir del viernes 11 de junio al domingo 12 de septiembre del presente año.
