CARPETOLOGIA WORKSHOP
18 of March - 11 of April
Ateliers'89, Aruba 2019
“Carpetologia workshop” is an invitation to enter a space as a sacred system, constructed through various media and messages. Connections between nature, architecture, folk stories, myth, and legends of Aruba will result in mixed media carpets. Since Aruba has the mystical background and the art of storytelling there is quite visible, during the “Carpetologia workshop” participants with the guidance of Lyubov Matyunina will collect the stories/fairy tales of the land and visualize them into the carpets.
Theme: Fairy tales/folk tales of Caribbean, myth, and fantasies.
Technique: Patchwork, embroidery, application, stamps/printing, linocut, painting, and photography.
​
Teacher: Lyubov Matyunina
Participants: Janine Flaneguin, Facundo Franken, Jeanne Ecury, Shjakayne Mathilda, Aissah van Eer, Cindy Tromp, Jhoselimar Geurero, Agnes Leslie, Romelinda Maldonado and Brenda Every.

Now when the whole world is locked down at home, we all are united in our isolation.
It’s time given us to rethink the daily life and all the simple benefits it has, like coffee with friends,
hugs, kisses, meetings, picnic outside, attending art & design exhibitions, live music concerts, etc.
To make life more joyful during these self-isolated times, we decide to open a “stay home” gallery.
HOMESTER is a platform where one can see works of contemporary artists and musicians.
HOMESTER is an artist-run virtual platform that is used to (co-)create, exhibit, promote and reflect.
