¡CREAR Y COMUNICAR! ART WORKSHOPS AT ASSEMBLE IN GARFIELD
“¡Crear
y Comunicar!” is a series of art workshops run by Students in Free
Enterprise (SIFE): Nicaragua at Assemble, a community space for arts +
technology at 5125 Penn Ave. The workshops will be free and open to all
children within the greater Pittsburgh community, and they will take
place during Saturday afternoons in February (on the 4th, the 11th, and
the 18th) from 12pm to 3pm, with the final workshop on Thursday,
February 23rd from 5pm to 8pm.
SIFE:
Nicaragua will also be hosting a gallery opening at Assemble on Friday,
February 3rd beginning at 6pm to display the work made last year by
workshop participants from both Pittsburgh and Nicaragua. The work of
last year’s participants will be on view at Assemble until February
24th.
SIFE:
Nicaragua is a student group at Carnegie Mellon that travels annually
to Nicaragua. Through the non-profit organization Bridges to Community,
the students are currently in a partnership with the rural community of
Rosa Grande, Nicaragua. Since sustainability is one of our main goals,
multi-year partnerships are paramount to our work in our education and
environmentally focused initiatives in addition to our art initiative.
Because
of SIFE: Nicaragua’s strong ties with Pittsburgh and Rosa Grande, the
art projects are transnational in scope but will be local in impact.
Children will learn about their own communities and about Nicaragua
through collaborative projects that facilitate communication. The
workshops will utilize various media, such as video, photography, and
projections to promote an interactive cross-cultural exchange.
