"I’m realizing that many things I’ve wanted to do come from my desire to be part of a community because, unfortunately, what capitalism defines as success calls for something like desolation, in a way, and that doesn’t allow for a very important part of the creative process: the cycle of decomposition and growing into other things. I believe that only happens in community — in the Mexican way of thinking, the collective is more important than the individual, [so] this [country] is a good place to be able to work that way. I insist on it: 'Let’s talk, let’s share, let’s be open about what we liked and didn’t like about projects we’ve done.' "
—Gael García Bernal (and Ceramist Perla Valtierra) on Making Work That Lasts, NYT (Sep 2023)
