Astrid Blazsek-Ayala: Mythological imaginings
Every day, all day Thursday 12 November 2020 to Sunday 6 December 2020
This work explores the crossover of cultures - the intersections and omissions. Astrid worked with a professional craftsman to create piñatas of gures from Greek mythology. The aim of this project was to contrast the imagination of a person from a country with a Mayan cultural heritage, such as Guatemala, with the fantasies from Greek antiquity, a symbol of Western civilization.
Astrid Blazsek-Ayala is an economist and artist from Guatemala with a PhD in Economics and a degree in Advanced Studies in Photography and Management of Photographic Projects. In 2017, she co- founded the Collective Agalma, Guatemala.
After delivering the first online festival in the world in May, attracting 80,000 visits, Head On Photo Festival returns with a printed festival of quality photography this November.
