A mediation-creation project was developed for the Pedagogical Program of the XIV FEMSA Biennial, titled Inestimable Azar [Invaluable Chance]. Initially, we were invited to participate in person; however, due to the COVID-19 health crisis, we restructured our proposal and adapted it to a virtual format.
In this new context, we decided to create a mediated correspondence process that fostered dialogue between two projects: the Aberrante Collective, formed by Marco López and José Luis Arroyo, and the Museo del Pobre y Trabajador (Museum of the Poor and Worker), established by Luis Fernando Quirós and Rolando Castellón. While both projects consist of curators, artists, and independent cultural managers, the Aberrante Collective is led by young practitioners based in Mexico, whereas the Museum includes senior professionals residing in Costa Rica.
The objective was to generate an intergenerational exchange through correspondences based on prompts and exercises we proposed. This process enabled us to share reflections on artistic practice, the context we were experiencing, and life within the arts.
