Paper Pattern-Making Workshop led by Isabel Nisenbaum
The activities of the Arte Abierto Public Program start with a workshop led by artist Isabel Nisenbaum, in which she will share paper pattern-making techniques that explore the transformation of a two-dimensional surface into a three-dimensional object. Through hands-on work and experimentation, participants will discover how paper can acquire body, volume, and structure, opening a space for reflection on the relationship between form, material, and process.
Isabel Nisenbaum is a Mexican visual artist and existential therapist whose professional practice is situated at the intersection of art, mental health, and ecology. With solid training from the National School of Painting, Sculpture, and Printmaking “La Esmeralda,” as well as the Circle of Studies in Existential Therapy, she has developed a transdisciplinary practice that uses visual expression as a tool for subjective exploration and human accompaniment. As a researcher and active member of CeIBA (Center for Studies and Research in Biology and Art), her work focuses on artistic praxis applied to environmental education and ecological justice. Her approach integrates the phenomenology of memory and the observation of nature, establishing her as a relevant figure in the dialogue between the humanities and environmental conservation in Mexico.
