Starting a new episode of Share The Word Project in Lusaka, Zambia!
13 years ago I started this on-going project where I go to slums and refugee camps for one month each time and paint words that people give me. Since the beginning I have painted 249 different murals in more than 22 countries.
With my friend and helper Dudu, we will be painting here in the slum of Bauleni for the month of July. Stay tuned!

“Sanar” means “to heal” in Spanish.
My friend Katy who lives in Venezuela was asking me to paint the word “Sanar” next time I come over. In her low-income neighbourhood of Petare, she’s been working for years for people to come together and heal their community regardless of political views.
I made this riso print with the situation in Venezuela in mind. You’ll recognise the map of Venezuela, the horse and orchid – symbols of the country, and a kite, a symbol of Petare and other slum areas where kite flying is very popular.
Lo siento, no puedo enviar a Venezuela.

Bandiera de la Libertad – 50x80cm cotton fabric.
From time to time I like to putting the brushes aside and sewing pieces of fabric together. My work is generally built like a patchwork anyway and I was taught to sew to make flags, so I find the medium suitable. But every time I get the sewing machine out, I’m reminded of how slow I am with it.
