Ceramic Making in Chorotega

By Website Introductions at 10/30/08 14:37

It is not very known that Costa Rica has a rich indigenous culture which produces great ceramic works including traditional Chorotega pottery. However, as the country progresses, there is a significant decline in the old culture's presence.

There is one family in the Nicoya Peninsula that strives to preserve this rapidly declining art of pottery making. The family's works can be found in the University of Las Veritas.

Small Steps by the Costa Rican Film Industry

By Website Introductions at 10/22/08 07:04
As far as the global movie industry is concerned, the Central American movie-making industry is non-existent. It hardly makes any impact. And it is for this reason that Costa Ricans are pleased to learn that the industry is starting to make little steps towards global fame and acceptance. Some of the most prominent Costa Rican movies can be seen here at Costa Rican Pages.

500 Dollars Short of Reclaiming Cultural Heritage

By Website Introductions at 10/18/08 12:36
When cultural heritage is within reach, it becomes really frustrating once you find out that you are hindered by something petty--like a 500-dollar bill.

Bound by the constitution, the local government of Costa Rica could not hire an official translator to handle a Letter Rogatory which will be sent to Germany, where more than 400 pieces of pre-Columbian Costa Rican art are stored. It just so happens that the translators authorized by the German government charge 500 dollars, more than double of what Costa Rican law permits.
