Item Special Note
Ariela Kader (San José, Costa Rica, 1991) is a teaching artivist (artist + activist). “If trash is everyone’s problem, then it is also everyone’s resource” For more than a decade, Kader has been creating works about and out of plastic waste and plastic bags. From interpreting and intervening trash bag compositions in New York (illustrating the idea that we are more what we throw away than what we consume), to creating collage portraits out of the plastic bags collected from specific moments and places while travelling around the world, to currently doing beach and street clean-ups and transforming the collected plastic waste into compositions and sculptural assemblages.
As a crucial aspect of my career, Kader imparts Trash2Art workshops to different communities around the world, where the participants give a new life to the collected local waste by transforming it into artworks. Her works have participated in various individual and group exhibitions in Latin America, United States and Europe. Kader has also participated in artist residencies in Costa Rica, Germany, and the United States. Kader obtained her Master’s in Visual Arts and Education: A Constructionist Approach from the University of Barcelona. Kader currently lives and works in Lima, Peru.
