Hello my name is Ivania Lasso I am a visual artist and I live in Costa Rica. With my art I try to visualize spaces in social and economic inequality. I work in informal communities, living on the margins of illegality, abandoned by their government, who are constantly exposed to forced eviction.
In my work I generate assemblages of materials I find discarded in these communities. These fragments highlight discarded materials as a possibility to create and make visible the current problem. My work exposes the most present, and most ignored social inequality in Latin America: the housing disparity of informal territories.
I ask for your help to continue with my project and keep visualizing social problems through art. You can 'buy me a coffee', funds I'll use towards producing more art.
