Day 4 workshop @ aavi

This afternoon many people passed by at Aavi. Helena showed the finished drawings of the tortilla’s; Marco had printed all his photo’s and made a selection and composition, and had made new alternative flags for Mexico; Nirvana continued on her spread with the love-couples; Javier worked with his dancers today; and befriended architects came to visit the exhibition and decided to made a contribution on social housing in Mexico.

 

Day 3 workshop @ aavi

Hereby another update of the workshop ‘Subjective atlas of Mexico’. It was productive day with also some new (very promising) contributions. Nirvana contributed 13 (!) flags; Arturo received photo’s of his male friends with their mothers and texts about what she meant for them; Marco continued photographing the changarros; Judith scanned her family documents and is constructing a visual narrative out of the family tree; Diego worked out his plan for the audio-visual workshop next week and the very nice graphic designer (professor in information design) Djego Padilla passed by and is invited to contribute to the atlas as well. His plan is to map his (extended) family according to the square meters of their house, combined with their profession. Djego says the variety radical… Maria Luz Bravo attended the lecture last monday and proposed a plan to go to Juárez for another contribution (after having heard the initial plan to do this was cancelled). We’ve decided to plan an extra workshop in november in Juárez with Moniek and Maria and the youth there. Maria also showed a series of photo’s of abandoned places in Juárez. Moniek and I didn’t have any words left. A beautiful and very confronting contribution. The photographer Jose Ramon showed an almost mythical series of photo’s of changarros by night, which is also going to be part of the book.

Djego Padilla  (graphic designer and professor universidad de monterrey) visited us, was very exited about all the recent contributions and will make a contribution to the atlas as well.

Day 2 workshop @ Aavi

Today was again an inspiring day at Aavi, and for me another rich chapter of Mexican stories (and dishes): Javier brought music, paint and paper and tested diverse dances and their traces; Helena has been drawing many ways of eating a tortilla; Judith brought a case full of family documents with very rich and beautiful stories attached to it; Marco made a series of portraits of ‘changarros’ on the streets where the salesmen were shown smiling and proud; Nirvana brought an enormous collection of photo’s with kissing and hugging people in the subway’s and we selected the most radical ones and Arturo has scanned the maps of the houses that were drawn yesterday and has invited his male friends to make self portraits with their mothers and tell to Arturo what their mother means for them.

This afternoon Diego Gutierrez passed by, he will guide the audio-visual workshop starting monday and was inspired by all the contributions that he saw being developed. He will be at Aavi tomorrow afternoon as well.

Day 1 @ Aavi

Today was a promising day at Aavi. Not all contributors were yet present today, so we had time and space to dive in the different new idea’s for the atlas; ways of eating tortilla’s will be drawn, the work of women will be visualized in a layered time-line, we are going to mark the dance-passes of the different popular dances (paper, paint and music will be brought tomorrow), there will be an inventarisation of loving couples in the Mexican subway’s and all contributors have drawn the interior of their houses.
