ART-RESPECT

Last March at Yashodhara Shelter, art director Julián Hernández led a workshop in Art and Respect. This way, Asha-Kiran collaborated with artist Jose Maria Moraza, founder of Fundación Respeto, in the work that his Foundation calls "Love for the Universe" and which has been unfolding since 1997.

All the children from the Shelter expressed their idea of love and respect through a Sign-Gesture that they painted on wood without using a pre-imposed pattern – a painted gesture that they acknowledged as their own. When the signs were finished, they were hung up on a wall so that the children can see themselves reflected in their works and come to value their abilities.

We thank Fundación Respeto and Julián Hernández for their energy and dedication, and our children for their enthusiasm and joy, which motivate us to continue working with Love and Respect.
