If you haven’t ever seen the Pixar film Coco, where have you been living human? I’m going to spoil part of it for you right now. It stars a dog, who is also an alebrije, called Dante, not Coco. Bet you didn’t expect that. You’re probably now wondering what an alebrije is, too. Luckily, I am a wise and patient dog and I want to share all of these fascinating things with you. Alebrijes are mythical creatures that originated in 1936 during the feverish dreams of a Mexican artist called Pedro Linares. Using his talent as a ‘cartonero,’ or papier-mâché artist, he recreated these mystical and fantastical creatures, which just happened to be noticed by some other artists, Diego Rivera, and Frida Kahlo. A documentary was made about him in 1975 called Linares: Artesano de Cartón and he became known throughout the art world.
