Shownotes Transcript

When artist Diana Benavídez makes piñatas, they aren't meant to be broken. They get put on pedestals. They become sculptures meant to provoke conversations.

Giant tampons. An over-sized can of pepper spray. A drone. Benavídez’s aren’t your average piñatas.

Today, a story about an object typically known for its destruction, not creation.

Only Here can you find a San Diego artist packing pinatas with political messages instead of candy.
