For the workshop taking place on the 29th of August of the year in course, my proposal consist into two projects that will be made individually which in the end each and every participant will be able to take it home. The third project will be made on a group basis that will remain in the Plaza so everyone can take photographs as a souvenir of their participation.

1) Greeting cards with bottle caps | Tarjetas de saludos con tapas de metal
In this project we will be using metal bottle caps which all the participants will paint with animal’s figures and then this caps will be glued to a cardboard that also will be decorated and folded to become the greeting card.

En este proyecto se utilizarían las tapas de metal para botellas, pintándola con figuras de animales y luego se pegarían en las cartulinas que a la vez serán decoradas con pinturas de colores, para su posterior dobles y mensaje

2) Sculptures with paper towel rolls “Mini Zoo” |Esculturas con rollos de papel toalla “Mini Zoo”
In this project we will use recycle paper towel rolls to make animal sculptures that will be painted, decorated and assembled with construction paper.

En este proyecto se utilizarían rollos de papel toalla para realizar esculturas de animalitos, pintándolas y ensamblándolas con papel de construcción.

3) El Gran Árbol de las Manos Mágicas.
In this project all the participants will draw the contour of their hands on sheets of paper and then they will be painted and decorated so that at the end all these hands will be hang on a fake tree made out of recycled materials. All these hands will simulate the leaves of the tree.

En este proyecto se utilizarían el contorno de las manos de cada persona y se decoraran pintándolas o haciendo dibujos las cuales al finalizar se colocaran en un árbol artificial construido con materiales reciclables. Todas estas manos simularan las hojas del árbol.

5:30pm: Bulla en el barrio Live Music | Música en Vivo

BULLA EN EL BARRIO is a group that aims to share the traditions, experiences, and lives of the Colombian cantadoras from the regions of Uraba, Cordoba, Bolivar, and Atlantico. Bulla is an effort to open a space in New York to explore at a deeper level the songs, and the dances that are part of these traditions. And that from its early days have been a tool for women to express themselves.

Bulla en el barrio es un grupo que inicia con las ganas de compartir un poco de las tradiciones, experiencias y vidas de las cantadoras Colombianas de la region del uraba antioqueno, cordoba, bolivar y atlantico. Busca abrir un espacio en Nueva York para explorar los cantos y bailes que envuelve esta tradicion y que desde su inicio resalta a la mujer por medio de su voz y sus letras.
