Margarita Vazquez Ponte:
“I wanted to involve the Care and Share Charitable Trust, not just because that is where I would be on 21/12/12 but because it is a place for second chances, a kind of a “re-birth” for the children whose lives are turned around by coming to their orphanages and are given a second chance at a new, positive, more optimistic future. In this sense it already exists as a symbol of the philosophy that surrounds Rebirth-day.
On the 21st December we had a small exhibition at the Butterfly Hill orphanage to celebrate Rebirth-day and mark the end of 2 months of art labs for the students of Care and Share’s schools. Art is absolutely a celebration of free thinking, unlimited possibilities and imaginations…a future without art is unthinkable, so here is to the future and to future generations of young artists and free thinkers.”
