María Belén Luzuriaga Abad |
I am an artist and educator with experience in exploring traditions through visual art and performance. My work often connects culture, storytelling, and creativity, and masks are a powerful way to bring these elements together. In this class, I guide participants in learning about the role of masks in different cultures while also creating their own as a form of expression |
