That Made Mexico Paradise Power and Prayers S01 complete (720p HD, soft Eng subs) 

E01
Alinka Echeverria
reveals the way in which Mexican artists shook off European artistic influence to find a distinctive voice, expressed
through landscape painting, and reconnected with pre-Hispanic subject matter. The murals of Teotihuacan and illustrated
Aztec codices show how nature was the reference point for their worldview, their power structures and their calendars.
But following the conquest in the 16th century, the Spanish 're-educated' indigenous artists to aspire to
European aesthetics, and for nearly 300 years after conquest, the art of what was called New Spain looked a lot the art
of old Spain. 

A century after independence in 1810, artists began to depict Mexico's ancient foundation
myths, including the symbolic volcanoes that dominate the Valley of Mexico. Indigenous people, their land and lives were
no longer taboo. Following the Mexican Revolution that began in 1910, landscape paintings established a new style that
was resolutely Mexican, and confirmed the re-established connections between Mexico's indigenous population and
their land. Forces of nature and Mexico's landscape continue to be integral to the Mexican sense of artistic
identity.

Alinka
Echeverria reveals how artists became the authors of Mexico's official history, defining the origins of its power
and wielding significant influence over millennia. 

Following the Mexican Revolution that began in 1910,
landscape paintings established a new style that was resolutely Mexican, and confirmed the re-established connections
between Mexico's indigenous population and their land. Forces of nature and Mexico's landscape continue to be
integral to the Mexican sense of artistic identity. 

The relationship between art and power can be seen
throughout world history. But Alinka argues that Mexico differs. Not only did indigenous artists project the power of
the elites in its ancient civilisations, artists became the authors of Mexican history and the power-brokers in the
struggles for political dominance. 

In Mexico's history, power changes hands quickly and often
violently. The city state of Cholula dominated central Mesoamerica around 1,000 years ago, but fell to Spanish
conquistadors in the space of a day. 

Nearly 500 years later, one of the largest triumphal arches in the
world was intended to express the unassailable power of Porfirio Diaz. But before the arch was completed, the Mexican
Revolution swept Diaz from power. The fragile nation needed a new national story to provide unity and stability. Art was
to create it. 

Diego Rivera painted a spectacular sweep of Mexican history as he, and the government who
commissioned him, wanted it understood. It was origin myth and propaganda rolled into one. The power of art to establish
Mexican nationalism was extraordinary. Frida Kahlo used her considerable influence to make the personal political, in
both gender politics and amplifying indigenous voices. 

Today, nowhere is it more important to express
Mexican power and identity than at its borders. In Tijuana, on the border with the United States, the creativity of
individual artists and collectives is fired by matters of everyday politics and the proximity to their northern
neighbour. The results underline how art and power in Mexico are inextricably linked.

E03
In this final
episode, Alinka explores how faith has always driven life in Mexico, and how the need for a visual image created a
unique blend of Mesoamerican and Catholic faith. 

Artists were kept close to the elites in Mexico's
ancient civilisations to depict the deities that were the foundations of the society's structures and beliefs. Gods
and goddesses were created in the mind's eye of millions, who in turn worshipped the imagery that the artists
provided. 

When the Spanish imposed Catholicism, the notion of venerating the divine using iconography
already existed. And in some of Mexico's most spectacular art, iconography incorporating both Mesoamerican and
Catholic belief can be found. This unique hybridity could only exist in Mexico, where art has long been crucial to the
personal relationship between believer and the divine. Ex-votos paintings are offerings of thanks to saints and
expressions of devotion. They have long been the preserve of poor and rural Mexicans, and depict very personal
situations. 

 Today, one artist is pushing the boundaries of belief, incorporating symbols of secular culture
and consumerism with religious iconography. Even as the power of the church wains in Mexico, religious imagery can still
be found everywhere.
