What is Camote Toys?

Camote Toys is an Argentinian artist focused on art toys with a Latin American imprint.
The works are inspired by the cultural inheritance coming from indigenous communities, current and extinct, such as myths, religion and popular folklore, as well as animals and cryptids of the region. In this way, art toy makes it possible to get in touch with Latin American roots, inviting us to explore our own identity and its connection with that culture.
Camote means sweet potato; it comes from the nahuátl word camohtli.

How is the process for toy making?

As a Latin Americanist artist, the creation of works require an anthropological and ethnographic research to gather information about the aesthetics, materialities and rituals of indigenous peoples, in order to be incorporated into the creative process. To include their cosmovision into modern art allows to dispute the hegemonic discourse in Latin America, since colonialism, in order to revalue the culture of the region.
