Atrás del ártico se esconde un paraíso

As part of the public program of the exhibition Behind the Arctic Lies a Paradise, presented at the Museo de Arte de Zapopan, a theoretical–practical workshop will take place offering tools to connect with intuition. By imagining the existence of a pre-humanity and a future humanity, the session proposes an inner journey that will reveal secrets still hidden from ourselves. Various oracles will accompany the session to awaken creativity and the capacity to dream.

I died as a mineral and became a plant.

I died as a plant and rose to animal.

I died as an animal and became human.

Why should I fear anything?

When was I ever less by dying?
