Community Project
Taller del go “Milky Way Program” – Fundación Casa Wabi
The Italian artist Salvatore Arancio proposed to make a sculpture in a totemic way that included two products that are worked locally in two different communities to unite the entities through the construction of the sculpture. It was decided to make the sculpture using mud from the Agua Zarca community and the coconut from the El Venado community.
In the first sessions, the coconuts were collected, it was explained how the coconut is peeled and the uses of that material in the region. A session was then held to explain how the clay is handled, prepared, and cooked, and the clay plates needed for the sculpture were made. Students from both schools were paired to prepare each group a plaque and work together.
Later the sculptures in each school were assembled with the students of each community.
