The 3,000-year history hidden in the @ symbol (and why it's linked to pottery)

World 2 sources 2 countries 🔦 Under-reported 20m ago

Recent media coverage highlights two distinct cultural and historical topics. In Buenos Aires, Argentina, Infobae reports on the return of the immersive theatrical production "La Llorona" to the canals of Xochimilco for the Day of the Dead season, featuring a combination of theater, dance, live music, and a trajinera ride.

Simultaneously, Prensa Libre in Guatemala City, Guatemala, explores the 3,000-year history of the "@" symbol and its historical connection to ceramics. The report details a 2010 initiative by Paola Antonelli, senior curator of architecture and design at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, to curate an exhibition showcasing museum-quality objects accessible to the general public.
