AIR Studio Class: Cartoneria Alebrije Workshop
Sunday, June 29, 2025 12:00 PM - 01:00 PM
Erwin, our Caumsett AIR (artist in residence), will be hosting a cartoneria alebrije workshop, which is traditional Mexican paper mache. Participants must sign up for the class. The cost is $25 and the workshop is suitable for ages 12 and up. ABOUT THE ARIST: Erwin List Sanchez My work explores the vibrant tradition of Mexican cartonería within the context of my experience living outside of Mexico. I am fascinated by how culture travels and adapts, transforming and enriching itself in new environments. My creations are primarily inspired bythe natural world and its creatures. These fantastical animals, born from the intersection of my Mexican heritage and my present surroundings, become a reflection of my perceived environment. They embody the interconnectedness of our imaginations, demonstrating how we carry our cultural roots with us, allowing them to blossom and evolve in unexpected ways. Through cartonería, I sculpt the hybrid creatures of my imagination, where the familiar forms of Mexican folklore intertwine with the new realities of my present, creating a bestiary that is both rooted and reinvented.
