- This bottled water will make you happy 😉
Panama R.T.E. speaks to the “Immigrant Experience” because through it I am looking for ways of cultural survival through the use of merchandise and propaganda. I am looking for ways in which I can avoid the loss of what I conceptually value and unspokenly brings happiness to my soul.
The drive for this project is to fill the void that my panamanian soul experiences due to the lack of connections like most immigrants experience. This project aims to find a cultural connection with others regarless of their place of origin. Convert others to Panamanians through propaganda, toy design and/or events, so we can all be the same… in a way.
The Panamanian soul has many facets due to his history, culture and idiosyncrasy. During the 5 weeks of the AhMotherland! residency I will explore the packaging for “Happiness” using as an inspiration the celebration of “El Carnaval”.
