Weaving the Myth

In this workshop, we’ll bring to life a character who carries a city in a bag full of memories. Starting with a line-art animation base, each participant will color at least three frames, transforming the story with their personal touch. We’ll use watercolors, ink, brushes, and markers to color this exciting project.

Journeying from the intimate confines of the studio to the bustling pulse of the city, we’ll delve into analog animation as a vehicle for self-expression and sharing. Together, we’ll craft a collaborative animated sequence, destined to become a vibrant street mural, extending our artistic reach beyond the workshop.

All materials will be provided.

BIOGRAPHY: Robinson Moreno

Robinson Moreno is a Venezuelan-Colombian artist based in Caracas that uses street art, engraving and moving images as tools for social denunciation, solidarity, and collective transformation. His first creative expression was through hundreds of graffiti and wallpaper interventions on Caracas and Bogota’s streets, often with images grounded on his working-class and peasant roots. Over the years, his artistic practice has been informed by his experiences with formal art training and social militancy.

His studies in Visual Arts and Visual Communication helped him to add new layers of reflection and control over his naturally naive, visceral, and grotesque visual style. His work also explores social practice and transformative action, collaborating with environmental and gender collectives from Caracas in the production of online and offline art interventions and campaigns.

His current work revolves around Venezuelan indigenous mythology, memories of his ancestors, and his experiences in Caracas’s underground, looking through the mirror of the unconscious and magical realism.

During his residency, he will produce some scenes of his first experimental short film, Galaxia
