Colombia program participant Francisco Mena Palacios is a filigree jewelry craftsman from Quibdó (in the country’s Pacific region). He learned his craft from his father, starting off as a messenger and errand boy. He now has his own shop where he works with other local jewelers. He specializes in earrings, rings, necklaces, and customized designs.
This video shows Francisco in his shop in Colombia, where the curatorial team visited him last year.
