Mercadito Pop's flyer for the 2 day festival here in Cochabamba this weekend. The group describes their mission as promoting creative micro-economies and strengthening independent art and design and responsible consumption. The fair was full of small creative businesses (reminding me of the vintage section of the Wilderness festical back home for some reason, with unusual and beautiful clothing and illustrated products).
"Como un ojo abriéndose ante si mismo, Reflector Tropical es una
banda cuyo propósito es el de expandir nuestra consciencia al infinito."
"Like an
eye opening unto itself, Reflector Tropical is a band whose purpose is to
expand our awareness to infinity."
Reflector Tropical sound cloudThanks so much to the beautiful lads of Reflector Tropical Simon and Daniel, for the invite to draw alongside their set this Sunday at the mini festival Mercadito Pop: Cochalita Power. This time the hope was to get as many folk as possible involved and drawing and happily they came, and drew!...starting from a group of tiny kids drawing alongside Florrie on the floor:
...then plently of folk helped out Olivia and I in our two characters facing one another across pillars, including fellow SB'ers, Olivia's wee daughter Amaya and plenty of eager or persuadable random passersby:
...with the end result of transforming these blank papered-pillars into two multi-coloured conversants and in the process MASSIVELY energising me - I left for a few beers after with markers and make-up covering my hands and an enormous grin on my face!
Thanks to Simon and Daniel of Reflector Tropical for the invite to draw, and for their enlivening music! Thanks to artists Olivia and Florrie for being inspirational collaborators, and thanks to all those who got involved and drew with us tonight! And an especially big thanks to Cochabamba for being such a brilliant city full of so many vibrant, warm people!
Big love to you all!
