SUSTAINABLE ART SCHOOL: BUENOS AIRES, AUGUST 2015

In August of 2015 CAES carried out its first international workshop promoting self-sustainable art processes. The program was implemented in partnership with Zona Imaginaria, a residency program that promotes social integration and community engagement in the barrioVilla Jardín (San Isidro area in northern Buenos Aires) led by its founder Lucrecia Urbano. 
Our time in Zona yielded remarkable situations. For example, sharing a mate with the students during the prelude to our first workshop and then extracting pigments from the same mate to make paint, served as a perfect example of the essence of what CAES aims to promote. 
Also valuable was the participation of Jorge, a local produce vendor on Blanco Encalada Ave. (three blocks from Zona Imaginaria) - Jorge saved us scraps such as onion skins and corn leaves, which made his store our most valuable source for fibers to make paper with. Making these sorts of relationships is an essential aspect of creating long-lasting and self-sustainable practices in art education, and it ignites the kind of community engagement we promote. ​
