Event Description

About the Educator Camp

NMWA’s virtual Educator Summer Camp is designed for all educators: schoolteachers, home school instructors, scout leaders, and more. We just ask that you come with your learners in mind and a playful spirit!

We will offer 1.5-hour sessions daily, Monday, July 21, through Friday, July 25. Sessions, inspired by the Art, Books, and Creativity (ABC) Institutes and NMWA’s collection, are hands-on, participatory, and fun. Sessions will explore NMWA’s collection and resources, introduce historical and contemporary women artists, and engage participants in experimental making and close looking.

Guest instructors include artists and educators from around the country. You will receive a recommended supply list, applicable digital resources, and a Zoom meeting link in advance of each session.

Register for one session or many depending on your interest and commitments.

Session participants can request certificates of completion reflecting total earned participation hours.

About the Program

Learn to create a “Heart Repair” book with Ana Fernández, a concept inspired by her handcrafted artist’s book Never develop an appetite and other poems of love and havoc on view in the current exhibition A Radical Alteration: Women’s Studio Workshop as a Sustainable Model for Art Making.

About the Artist Instructor

Ana Fernández (also known as Miranda Texidor) was born and raised in Quito, Ecuador. She graduated from the Art Institute of San Francisco with a bachelor’s degree in painting and received a master’s degree in painting and drawing from California College of the Arts. She has a Ph.D. in Philosophy, Aesthetics and Theory of Art from the Institute for Doctoral Studies in the Visual Arts, IDSVA. In her work and research, Ana explores the possibilities of art practice in relation to speculative fabulations about plant ontology, the Amazonian yachag, and the artist in trance. She is currently a professor of Visual Expression and Printmaking at the Catholic University of Quito, Ecuador. She is part of The Plant Contingent, a collective of artist-philosophers across Ecuador and the US, who explore the ontology of plants and the notion of becoming a plant, care for the soil and wild care through art. Her work has been shown in Latin America, Europe, and the United States.
