Migrantes

Artist list

Clarisa Menteguiaga, Melina Rapimám, Ines Reynoso, Atis Saez

"MIGRANTES" is a project of Contemporary Jewelry that addresses this theme in the present context. Working from different approaches, but with a common goal, four designers (two Chileans, an argentine and an Uruguayan) unite to put together this exhibition, telling from their own spirit, their vision of migrating: the movements that animals have had to do, due to the disaster of the environment; the original peoples facing the conquering oppressors; the experience of living in a country where you have not been born and to which you emigrate. The exhibition refers to the new migrants and how we must talk of equality of rights and opportunities.

Melina Rapiman (Chile) and Clarisa Menteguiaga (Argentina) are both members of Asociación Joya Brava. Along with colleagues Atis Saez (Chile) and Inés Reynoso (Uruguay), they will be showing their work at Mydaybyday Gallery in Rome, Italy, from may 25^th -31^st.
