‟We do not save people from the situations they are in, but perhaps we can give them a little strength to carry on. For me, art is more about care and trust.”
Ana Mejia Eslava is a drawing artist, printmaker and publisher. Her practice is rooted in everyday scenes and in giving visibility to the stories, words and images of others, particularly women.
In Colombia, she took part in an exhibition featuring works by women from a rural community peacefully resisting armed conflict.
In France, her open workshops in public spaces and publishing projects turn creative gestures into opportunities to tell stories, listen and acknowledge narratives that often remain unseen.
