MXA group associated with the project 'Za De Beleguí', which translates to 'Cloud of Stars' in Zapotec, launched traditional crafts from Oaxaca and Puebla into the stratosphere using an unmanned balloon. The crafts, made from black clay and Talavera pottery, were exposed to extreme conditions such as temperature variations, reduced atmospheric pressure, and radiation to study their behavior in space-like environments. The goal was to explore whether ancient manufacturing techniques could impart unique properties of stability and resistance to environmental changes. After retrieval, the pieces remained structurally intact, opening new research avenues into traditional craftsmanship and its potential technological applications. The project involved experts from various fields, including engineering and academia, and aims to reframe heritage as a source of scientific knowledge.
