Some of these works will be exposed in the Jardin Botánico of Buenos Aires together with de annual exhibition. From this moment on, the lives of Cristina Coroleu and this children will be joined forever.
2015:
Rural School No. 28, 9 de Julio District, Buenos Aires Province. On July 7, 2015, another visit was made to the rural school. For a year now, the school has been part of the Samohu project's plan to involve several rural schools in painting native plants from each region. This consciously connects these children with their habitat.
Also, it engages them in matters related to climate change and environmental care.
This will mark 16 consecutive years of exhibiting my workshops from the Capital and the interior of the country, with great federal pride. Cristina Coroleu.
Another school joins, this year at the Buenos Aires Botanical Garden. More children painting native flora and caring for our landscape. Cheers to these brave women carrying out this project in the south.
