POWER FRAUEN IM
BLOCK PARK 447
2022-Present
Power Frauen is a workshop initiative in the district of Alt-Buckow (Berlin) that takes place in the framework of the project Blockpark 77. In workshops with young women we talk and create from a feminist point of view about issues such as street harassment, menstruation, violence, female empowerment and others. Block Park invites me as mediator to create “Power Frauen”. My task there as an artistic mediator is to develop the methodologies for the work in the workshops and to lead them.
SIEBDRUCK WORKSHOP IN DAS FREI WERKSTATT PRINZIP
2022
Das Frei Werkstatt Prinzip is a project of the Brazilian photographer Isaumir Nascimento. The project aims to generate space for artistic experimentation for children and young people outside of formal educational spaces. The workshops are taught jointly by two artists from different disciplines. In October of this year I was invited to do a photography and serigraphy workshop with Isaumir. We made a fanzine printed with the silkscreen printing technique but based on the collage that the participants made with photos that they themselves took in small drifts. My task there as artistic mediator was to develop together with Isaumir methodologies for the collective work and the interrelation between the different techniques that I covered: photography, collage, silkscreen printing and bookbinding. I also lead the workshops mediating the individual and collective processes of the participants.
WORKSHOPS WITH ELTERNTREFF RIXI
2022 - Present
Elternterntreff Rixi is a space and a cafe at the Rixdorfer-Grundschule (Neukölln) where the parents of the children meet for different activities. It is a space that seeks to empower the parents of the children, most of whom have a migrant background. In the same way, the parents seek to play an important role in the school education of their children. This cafe is home to very creative and wonderful women who come together to learn different artistic techniques, conduct technology workshops, cook and talk. It is a space for sharing. In this space I have had the opportunity to dictate two groups of workshops, one for silkscreen printing and the other for the realization of a logo. My task there as an artistic mediator was to develop and carry out methodologies for the workshops in different techniques such as screen printing, drawing and animation.
SPIELMOBIL
2022
Spielmobil is an AWO project that takes place in refugee housing in Berlin. The project works with three different accommodations that are visited once a week. Spielmobil consists of going to these places with a van with different toys such as scotters, balls, board games, etc. and doing activities and playing with the children living in these places. We also made handicrafts with them. My task there as an artistic mediator was to play, make crafts and interact with the children looking for means of communication that avoid spoken language since many of the children in the housing where I worked did not speak English or German.
BLEEDING STORIES
2019 - Present
Bleeding Stories is a project developed and lead by me that seeks a collective narrative about menstruation as an experience of the body. It has an important phase of artistic mediation in which workshops with different artistic media and with very diverse groups are carried out. So far 18 workshops have taken place with a total of about 70 participants. The workshops were held in English, German or Spanish and with people between 12 and 65 years old.

In this space the themes of individual, community and society were thematised. In the same way to try to understand how a city can function for the citizens.
