The artists at Airgentum organized a pop up exhibition of our work. We wanted to share what we made with the local community and had lots of fun in the process.
Participating artists:
Jennifer Pickering
Shazia Ahmad
Riley Strom
Vitalii Khoma
Caroline Deschene
Wendy Deschene
Jeffrey Schmuki
This piece is a collaboration between Rosa Aphalo, a writer who is interning with Airgentum, and myself. She wrote the poetry to go along with prints I made of the “Camino de Fazcardiel” mural.
My paintings from the Armonía project
We had a very fun time sharing our work in the public square while enjoying some refreshments with new friends.
The exhibition was dynamic and we were able to move the works around over the course of the evening. Painting from my Armonía project.
