En(re)

Being ecologically conscious has been implanted in communities all over the globe as a way to protect the environment. These actions always begin with the simple exercise of recycling, where used materials and/or waste are adapted to be reused.

As part of the inauguration of arte_FITS.FOUNDATION’s community program Dorado Es Verde, Venezuelan artist Teresa Mulet presented the collaborative project, en(re) for the communities of Dorado. The project incorporated a direct participation of high school students from José Santos Alegría and Tasis Dorado.

Through Dorado Es Verde, the Foundation has encouraged the community of Dorado to participate in events where the protagonists are art and nature.

The idea proposed through en(re) was associated with the respect between humans and nature. In order for it to have an intrinsic value for future generations, communities must adapt this interrelation without being constantly reminded by the media to be a social and cultural responsibility. Re indicates repetition and/or withdrawal. In the case of the installation, the term was attributed to emphasize a constant call to action. EN(RE) was made up of three interventions:

The construction of the word en(re) as a tridimensional structure filled with recycled plastic bottles from the Recollection Center of Dorado.

Placing words from the en(re) notebook on the ground and the trees.

Collecting them and annotating the experience in the en(re)
