Tsipekua at CalArts

Embark on a captivating journey through the ancient Mexican narratives in a fusion of painting and storytelling, paying homage to the rich traditions, legends, and tales of ancient Mexico.

Polaris Castillo's art seamlessly weaves together the energies of the cosmos and the human spirit, drawing inspiration from Mesoamerican art. Rooted in his heritage, Polaris utilizes illustration and filmmaking to safeguard the sacred tradition of storytelling. In the Nahuatl language, he embodies the essence of a "tlacuilo," a modern-day writer, artist, and scribe.

Don't miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in these stories and create your own watercolor painting! This workshop at CalArts is hosted by Tsipekua and is sponsored by the Nick England Intercultural Arts Project and Blick Art Materials.
