YAXS
In 2016, during my student exchange in Guatemala I found YAXS, a contemporary art research Foundation which focuses on research, experimentation and creative process. In YAXS I had the opportunity of realizing an internship and also I worked as a director’s assistant and artistic/cultural management.
In 2016 and 2017, during the time I was part of the team, besides artistic/cultural management, I collaborated on the following artistic projects:
-
Collaboration with Fundación YAXS on the elaboration of book-object by Nora Pérez, for the art show Güiri Güiri, Sol Del Río, Guatemala.
-
Collaboration on the work of artistic/cultural management and assembly of the exhibition by, Casa YAXS, Guatemala.
-
Collaboration with Fundación YAXS on the area of independent projects of the Festival Cultural Paseo de la Sexta, Guatemala.

Proyecto 44
In 2016, during my staying in Guatemala I met and worked with Maya Juracán, art historian and independent art curator who is also director of Proyecto 44. In that same year, she invited me to collaborate next to other members of the project, with an intervention of the public space, in front of the entryway of the National Palace of Guatemala.
