In June 2026, during my stay in Arusí, I facilitated a two-hour drawing workshop with children and teenagers at Biblioteca Sueño Pacífico. The encounter was part of my process of getting to know the territory and its people.

The workshop was structured around a collective drawing process. Each participant began with their own drawing, but every few minutes they changed places and continued working on someone else’s image. Through these rotations, the drawings gradually moved away from individual authorship and became shared compositions, shaped by different hands, ideas and ways of seeing.

Rather than teaching a specific drawing technique, I was interested in creating a space where drawing could become a form of exchange. Participants had to respond to what someone else had already made, while also leaving something behind for the next person to continue. The exercise invited them to let go of control over the image and to see how something could develop collectively through unexpected contributions.

For me, the workshop was also a way of approaching Arusí through my artistic and pedagogical practice: sharing a creative process while learning from the images, responses and interactions that emerged during the encounter.
