An [installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pearl-jam) featuring the Wixáritari tribe-inspired pieces will be exhibiting on July 25th, 2014 at the Fortune Special Projects Space in Vancouver, Canada. Designer Ricky Sosa collaborated with the Wixáritari community in Mexico to create the handcrafted skull artwork. The ceremonial traditions and mythology of the revered indigenous group inspired the highly spiritual and unique pieces of art. Each bone design is one of a kind and represents a specific element from the Wixáritari way of life. The collectable art collection demonstrates how a creative spirit dwells within the body. While skulls might have a morbid connotation, in many aspects of [Mexican culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-mixtape) they also represent a sense of liberation. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Indigenous-inspired Art:** Opportunity for artists and designers to collaborate with indigenous communities to create unique and culturally significant artwork. - **Collectable Art:** The market for one-of-a-kind art pieces that hold cultural and spiritual significance, appealing to collectors who value unique and meaningful artwork. - **Cultural Representation:** Increasing demand for art and design that promotes cultural diversity and respectfully represents indigenous traditions and heritage. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** Opportunity for artists, designers, and galleries to explore collaborations that highlight indigenous cultures and create marketable, collectable art pieces. - **Cultural Tourism:** Rise in interest for immersive cultural experiences and exhibitions that showcase indigenous traditions and craftsmanship, offering unique tourism opportunities. - **Ethical Fashion:** Growing market for sustainable and ethically produced fashion items inspired by indigenous cultures, tapping into the demand for cultural appreciation and conscious consumption. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mexican Heritage-Honoring Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/racesroots.md) - [Mexican Heritage Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tequila-don-julio-launches.md) - [Luxurious Mexican Tequila Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tequila-don-julio-70.md) - [Collectible Tequila Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paisaboys.md) - [Mexican Tradition-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timex-day-of-the-dead-weekender.md) - [Artisinal Tequila Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artisinal-tequila-bottles.md) - [Mexican Heritage Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/racesroots-exhibition.md) - [Festive Día de Muertos-Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/da-de-muertos-dolls.md) - [Culturally Celebratory Whiskeys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/distil-your-world-mexico.md)
