This art project outlines a multi-faceted exploration of pedagogy, community, culture, and tradition. Specifically, the project begins with a trip to the Palenque de San Basilio, which serves as a catalyst to construct a series of actions and experiences. Throughout the project, the team focuses on recovering collective memory and exploring clay as a key material deeply significant to Palenquera culture. The strategy for teaching and understanding these concepts is through a game-based approach, which is used to revive the fading tradition of drawing with clay. The team develops a workshop environment where participants can create their own toys using this traditional practice and integrate it into a ceramic process. The journey—from gathering the clay, to drawing, to the final firing stage—is embedded into the learning experience. The goal of the project is not only to produce a plastic artwork but also to present a documentary and installation process that reflects on the community’s engagement. The team aims to spark a series of questions and further inquiry, with the intention of evolving this pilot into a more complex and sustained project. Overall, the initiative weaves together art, culture, learning, and community.
