In this final segment of the Cracks Podcast episode with Oaxacan artist Amador Montes, host Oso Trava explores several new dimensions of Montes' practice and personal life. Montes describes a recent fashion collaboration with Yucatecan designer Mora, resulting in the "Carmen" runway show at Paris Fashion Week and a forthcoming art‑book that documents the project, emphasizing his view of fashion as a cultural record. He reflects on his two sons, Diego and Emilio, who are forging their own artistic paths—Diego through coffee‑related ventures and Emilio through "art toys"—and shares the mixed pride and fear a parent feels watching them navigate creative careers. Montes reveals upcoming public works: a large sculpture titled "El Nido" to be installed in a Mérida garden, symbolizing the city as a nest, and the "Aves de Paso" exhibition touring the United States, which addresses migration. Looking back on a 25‑year retrospective, he discovers that his next solo show will be called "Igual que de niño," acknowledging that his current practice still mirrors the playful drawing, modeling, and painting of his childhood. He concludes with a succinct philosophical statement—"a brush is a better weapon than a gun"—and points listeners to his Instagram and gallery links for further engagement. Themes of interdisciplinary collaboration, intergenerational artistic continuity, socially relevant public art, and a belief in art as a peaceful, transformative force run throughout.
