What is Migratory Postcards?
Migratory Postcards is a project that seeks through the visual arts to raise awareness about the cultural landscape that surrounds us.
Created in 2010, it postulates art as a communication tool that can help to reflect on a conflict, whether it be of endangered species, vulnerable environments, or human situations.
It is a cooperative participatory experience that involves communities, school students, creating bridges to revalue the view we have on nature and endangered species and dialogue among all to create awareness about the care of Our Common House.
It is a project that promotes knowledge, research and sensitivity to re-signify the heritage we have and does so through Mail Art, uniting human groups with their natural environment.
I have been doing it for 7 years, with 1200 students from rural, public and private schools, 48 schools and 5 provinces of the Argentine Republic visited.
The deposit in custody of the unpublished work, File No. 5037114, is made.

OBSERVATION
We walk around our school, close to nature reserves. We use binoculars, tablets, telescopes
Debate
We will talk about the importance of taking care of ourselves and conserving the species that surround us. We visualize art images and prepare everything for painting.
Workshop
Each student creates his painting.
And I transform this one into a Migratory Postcard.
EXCHANGE
In most series, the students in the participating schools do not know each other. They exchange their postcards with conservation messages written by them in an exhibition. In Spanish, in Wichi, in Guaraní.
