As part of an ambitious project designed to bring the process of making art into the daily lives of people, four artists have organized to present a workshop open to the public, each with a different social context.
Ileana Moya heads a program dealing with migration and how migrations affect individuals and ultimately society as a whole, and its effect on the natural environment. “We move fluidly from place to place, from one emotion to the next, from one though to the next, without considering our personal story or history.”
Ms. Moya guides participants through their own life journeys, as they craft handmade papers using personal items, fragments of clothing and various discards into a work of art, ultimately as portraits of the individual’s migration.
Sponsored by the prestigious Museums of the Central Bank, Ms. Moya presents her workshop on August 22, 2009 in San José, Costa Rica.
