Carlos and I are now working on a documentary! We've been developing the project together with Nexus Multicultural Arts Centre, and it's going to be shot during this year and the first half of 2012. It's been such an amazing and rewarding experience! Thanks to the project we've been able to get closer to and learn from Muslim women coming from Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Srilanka! I'll be letting you know about this wonderful opportunity later on -I'd love to keep a record of this creative process in this blog as well... There's so much to learn :)

Ahora estamos trabajando con Carlitos en un documental! Lo estamos realizando en conjunto con Nexus, Multicultural Arts Centre, y se estará grabando hasta mitades del 2012. Es súper interesante porque gracias al proyecto hemos podido acercarnos y conocer las historias de mujeres musulmanas provenientes de Irán, Irak, Afganistán, Bangladesh and Srilanka! Luego les estaré adelantando sobre esta oportunidad increíble, porque me encantaría registrar este proceso también en este blog... mucho aprendizaje :)

What grows with Trees?
Jun 9 - Aug 8, 2011
Challinger Gallery, Royal Adelaide Hospital
WELCOME!!... BIENVENIDOS!!...
What grows with trees is an exhibition by the mixed-media artist Ana María Méndez Salgado, comprising a group of images dedicated to explore the idea of the tree as a symbol of personal growth and transformation using metaphors and visual poetry.
Inspired by the visual storytelling process, magic realism and colourful Latin-American Culture, Ana’s work has a dream-like quality and whimsical atmosphere, where extraordinary creatures seem to be comfortably portrayed in their parallel universes. She is interested in language, its context and meaning and wishes to explore the dislocation of its elements to achieve a more powerful communication. This exhibition contains a selection of images that are currently being produced as a response triggered by its existentialist question. These drawings have become witnesses of a sequential, intimate conversation.
