Community Project

“Marking Breaths”- Bachillerato 5/7 “Emiliano Zapata” de Río Grande
Several sessions were held, at Casa Wabi, Agua Zarca and on the beach. We worked with students from the Emiliano Zapata high school in Rio Grande.
In the first session Magda explained the project to the participants, the objective of the workshop was to create a large-format clay sculpture where each member could express their greatest fear in it and then “release” that sculpture in the sea and let the waves erase the fears.
Each member talked about their fears and an exercise was carried out with clay and other elements. The second session was held in the mud workshops of Agua Zarca where three sculptures were made, one in the form of coral, another in the form of a guitar and another in the form of a wave. After drying and baking the pieces, in the third session all the pieces were released into the sea.
