About

In this preview from the "Mexico City" episode of Season 8 of "Art in the Twenty-First Century," artist Pedro Reyes organizes a workshop where participants create musical instruments from firearms. "Doing these workshops is an attempt to transform not only the material metal, but also to try to create a psychological transformation," says the artist. "And, hopefully, a social transformation."

Season 8 of Art in the Twenty-First Century premieres Friday, September 16, 2016 at 9:00 p.m. ET on PBS. Mexico City airs Friday, September 16th at 10:00 p.m.
