Along the way, Kinetika artists will be engaging with communities along the route and offering a series of drawing workshops to design flags that represent each unique community, as well as the environmental and social relationships that the trail reinforces. /2

This will culminate in a day-long encuentro (gathering) on the coast, where all the communities are invited, to complete a design and create coloured Batik flags. /3

The Costa Rican Kinetika travellers have been busy over the weekend hosting the first of the workshops with community groups along the way including CASEM & the St Luis Community Centre in Puntarenas in #Monteverde! #CostaRica #walkingarts

The explorers finished the week with a very special gathering (#Encuentro) in Costa de Pajaros where communities were invited to come together, complete a design and create batik flags. #Workshops #community World Trails Network Ali Pretty
