Karian Amaya
– casa wabi 2022
Community Project
Her project Campos poéticos, consisted of a haiku writing workshop with students from Miguel Hidalgo Elementary School in the community of Hidalgo. Based on the understanding that this poetic form typically explores themes related to nature and everyday life, the aim was to stimulate imagination and creative thinking by combining words within specific rules to give them meaning. The haikus were illustrated by the children and compiled into a magazine publication.

Karian Amaya’s artistic practice revolves around the notion of encounter. Through sculpture and photography, the artist questions the dialogues and resistances that originate between matter, the landscape, and their social and territorial contexts. Deeply influenced by the land art and post-minimal movements, his work is rooted in the formal and narrative encounter of raw, natural and industrial materials.
