Designing the future we want

Installation Sandra Monterroso

When we look at Guatemala, there are two things we immediately notice

Its beautiful land and its singular, unique, Culture and Arts.

It is the reason people from all over the world are drawn to come here.

But a vast majority of Guatemalans are completely unaware to the fact that the country is culturally and archeologically one of humanities greatest global treasures. As a result, this primary core material and immaterial central wealth asset remains untapped and is a huge oversight in our opinion!

We believe its Arts & Culture is one of the main keys to end Guatemala’s instability, poverty, and migration. It is widely proven around the world that placement of creativity and cultural industries as the core of development strategies, make our communities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.

As most people in Guatemala have never had access or exposure to their own country’s fine arts or know they exist, we have to start by placing Art in highly visible and transited places to assure everyone can begin see it and raise awareness of what they have!

So much focus is put on what Guatemala doesn't have! Lets bring to the forefront what they do.
