Desire(d) Paths

Desire(d) Paths is a participatory virtual exhibition by Colectivo Satelital that invites audiences to explore systems of communication, transportation, importation and identification, particularly how these systems relate to the process of navigating national borders. Through an interactive website with downloadable activity templates and a free biweekly workshop series, the project invites the public to use multiple art forms including textiles, photography, printmaking, industrial design, and creative writing to envision new systems and create alternative pathways to navigating cross-border relationships.

The workshop series is free, open to all ages and participants will be delivered material kits in advance of workshops to facilitate their participation. Workshops will include:

Designing a Transportation Vehicle - June 12th, 1-2:30pm
