Stone Carvers News Today : Breaking News, Live Updates & Top Stories | Vimarsana

A local arts centre and music venue turns two this September, with a weekend of fun and culture for all ages planned.

The sound of hammers and chisels striking stone rings out on most Sundays in the cemetery of ancient Xochiaca, a village swallowed up decades ago by the urban sprawl of Mexico City. It's the sound of the stone carvers of Chimalhuacan — as the borough is known — who still pursue a craft passed down for generations, even after the local source of quarry stone was exhausted. The village cemetery is filled with yard-high (meter-high) statues of saints and a knot of men who coax flower garlands and flowers out of the blocks of stone with their chisels.

Local rock carvers are working hard to preserve their art form and keep historical architecture in good repair.

This exhibition features everything from kitchen technology and bathrooms to living rooms and anything else you may need for creating a home interior.
