Seeding the Papalotl (Butterfly) Project

Papalotl (Butterfly) Project is an interdisciplinary, multigenerational,  intercultural endeavor to increase wellness by taking action locally on sustainable development goals being addressed globally. 

This project and methodology has grown out of a lifetime of immersive, community based learning and leadership and consists of many volunteers, collaborators and cogenerators.

A short documentation of reflections from a decade ago after serving as teacher and mentor in the Twin Cities Region provide some of the project background:

Matriarch migration

For Immediate Release:

August 11, 2023, 

Fort Lauderdale, FL. 

Finally, after launching as a billboard during #ArtMiami/ Art Basel week followed by a year of prestigious gallery showings in London and Venice, the iconic original canvas print version of "Matriarch" has returned to South Florida. 

"Matriarch" framed photo paper print was first shown at Alliance for the Arts in Naples and now resides in the permanent collection of Akeesha Footman in Ontario, Canada. The canvas print was part of Anima Mundi, and now appears in the exhibition catalogue.

"Matriarch" was also exhibited in Palma de Mallorca, Spain last November, then returned as a large scale digital installation at Art Box Expo in Wynwood during Art Basel Miami.

Tara Chadwick is exhibiting two new  "Matriarch-inspired" works at the upcoming Swiss Art Expo in Zurich, including "Matriarch's Grandchild Speaks" which premiered this spring in Basel & NYC. The artists' reception in Zurich takes place at the main train station exhibit hall on September 9th. (Event tickets still available if anyone can or will be in Zurich that weekend!)
