Katerina Bohac Artist Statement – Latin American Roots.

Listen to your Heart.

My country, Venezuela has suffered an impressive migratory crisis in recent years, entire families have left the country with hope and in search of a better life, each one has had a different experience, by plane or by land, the most radical have crossed the river. They have also had to manage abroad, in countries with different cultures, languages, beliefs, and life systems. Starting a new life in another country is not easy, each one of us has faced different adversities, learning a new language, understanding customs, and schedules, starting to meet people, and gaining confidence, you must have a lot of courage, personality and always give the best.

My intention is for us to listen to our hearts, to our ancestors, to remind ourselves of where we come from, not to forget our country, and that one day like we all think we can return to our land, to our roots. To our love for our countries. My artworks are made by earth, I am a ceramist, and every day I connect with nature through my work, in nature, I found peace and connection.

I would like you to write me about your process as a migrant human being, by following the QR Code or sending it to my mail: katybohac@gmail.com I would be happy to receive your letter, I would keep it and show it as part of my ceramic installation.
