MADE Creatives in Residence

MADE Creatives was a magical, mind-blowing experience, thanks to Yesica, the director. I am incredibly grateful to Yesica for her exquisite knowledge, generosity, enthusiasm and wisdom in guiding me through the residency and through the various communities of San Miguel. I came here not really knowing what to expect. Through the sights, smells, sounds and touch of the city my new work developed. I deeply appreciate that MADE offered time and space to move into the research and let things marinate as long as necessary. Being in a new environment where culture is valued, accessible and integrated into LIFE is a revelation. Being with other creative minds – 3 other artistis in residence – was generative and inspiring. I loved hearing and learning about their interests and sharing so many new things together. The work was made possible by the contributions of many people and experiences I met and had here. These introductions were made possible by our fearless La Jefa, Yesica.
