Yorleny Cardozo Peña is an artist and art educator from San Agustín, Colombia. In the project “Protective Beings – The Superpowers of Nature”, she aims to sustainably convey ecological awareness to children in Berlin and Colombia. A central aspect of her research is the development of methods to empower children not to feel powerless against climate change and species extinction, but to strengthen their own “superpowers”.
As part of the CoMuse Fellowship, Yorleny Cardozo Peña is developing a school workshop in the form of an artistic research laboratory. Participants will learn how diverse habitats and their creatures can be, how they shape cultural identity and how dependent we are on each other. Yorleny Cardozo Peña is also designing an artistic intervention to bring San Agustín into the exhibition at the Humboldt Forum as a panorama.
