ART RESIDENCE AT SER CASASANDRA

Ser Casasandra, in addition to the incredible experiences it offers to its guests, also contributes to the community through the La Isla Residencia program, which invites artists of different meduims not only to enjoy the attractions of Holbox, but also to work on art that is inspired by the destination.

This program was conceived and is financed by Ser Casasandra and owner,  Sandra Pérez Lozano - Creative Director. The Arsenal Habana project in Cuba and La Isla Residencia was established with the purpose of building a community, with special emphasis on children and adolescents.

This fall, from October 2nd to 8th, we will be welcoming artist Alexa Torre (Mérida, Yucatán 1987) to La Isla Residencia. She brings a proposal to conduct a Photography Workshop for the children of Holbox Island. Alexa's work has focused on women as physical or symbolic protagonists in various photography series. Torre uses irony, social stereotypes, both regional and international, to showcase everyday life as a series of details with which viewers can relate through memory or their daily experiences. Torre's approach aims to engage the children of Holbox in the art of photography, potentially offering them a new perspective on their island home and daily lives. This workshop represents an exciting opportunity for cultural exchange and artistic development within the Holbox community.

Stay tuned to our social networks.
