About Hecho Juntos

Hecho Juntos is an ongoing documentation of the art projects and collaborations that I have been involved over the last couple of years whilst traveling through South America. I am currently based here in Guyaquil, Ecuador and working as a children’s arts educator with the Charlotte Miller Art Project in partnership with Fundación Junto con Los Niños. Here I have been facilitating art workshops for street-involved or at-risk children with the aim of promoting their healthy social and personal development through art since January 2013.

Hecho Juntos began in February 2013 when I left my job as a 2D animator in London and traveled to Chile for a 2-week art residency with Curatoria Forense. My projects developed through on-the-road drawings, photos and collaborations as I headed north through Chile and passed through Cochabamba, Bolivia and Buenos Aires, Argentina, arriving into Brazil where I worked for 6 weeks as a volunteer arts educator with girls attending the NGO Meninadança in Medina, Minas Gerias in Brazil.

In the summer of 2013 I had a welcome seven weeks back in the UK with my beloved family and friends and worked again with the brilliant 12foot6 animation team in London. From there I headed to Bolivia for the next stage of Hecho Juntos, a 3 month art residency with Sustainable Bolivia where I combined personal drawing with artist collaborations and the facilitation of animation and art workshops with 3 NGO groups: AVE, INFANTE and CAICC.

After a swift 2 weeks in the UK visiting family I arrived here to Ecuador in January 2014 for my current placement with CMAP at JUCONI.

I hope you enjoy the photos and stories from this project as you have a look through this blog!
