Elena Poniatowska is a National Treasure in Mexico. Her 2012 Keynote, The Red Brushes of the Thirties in Mexico, is an amazing collection of stories from her 60+ year career as a journalist, writer, and salon host during the international revolutionary times of the early and mid 20th century. A rare presentation with stories about some of the most influential artists, writers, and political thinkers who gathered in Mexico during turbulent times (including Diego Rivera).
