Community Project

Taller “lectura-escritura” – COBAO 25 Rio Grande
With students from the High School of the 25 COBAO of Rio Grande, Oaxaca, the writer and curator Enrique Juncosa, conducted the “Reading-Writing” workshop, where young people wrote a text under the following topics: Family Memories, Stories of their community, Legends or myths, Social environment of the School in Rio Grande and Free theme. The objective of this workshop was the analysis and commentary of the texts presented to identify what are the characteristics that make their reading easier, enjoyable, interesting and clear. The texts will finally be gathered in a publication with an introduction by Enrique Juncosa and illustrated by artists resident in Casa Wabi during the workshop period.
Eli Acosta and Daniel Santa María introduced the community to the manufacture of bamboo bicycles, to the construction of human propulsion machines, helping to generate economic and construction dynamics for the direct use of the plant.of making a piece to be located in the sculptural garden. The production of this the sculpture was guided in the format of a “time capsule” and the gold discs found in Voyager sound waves more than 15,000 million km from Earth, these elements were chosen because of the possibility they offer to talk about a specific identification and projection in the future of some concerns, doubts, or concerns both personal and community level.
