The Covid-19 pandemic changed the habits of many people globally, among them the fast pace of daily routine. And, with confinement, many people found in crafts a new activity as well as a therapeutic way of meeting themselves.

What for some is new, for many this activity has been present in daily life for a long time. In My Role in the World, the experience meets those who are starting. In artist presentations, opportunities to deepen the charm by making paper manuals.

For the event organizer, Gizelma Fernandes, “Living with vegetable fibers, with which we produce papers, awakens enchantment through the touch of many textures, the diversity of possible colors and in the face of the surprise of the results ”.

Of the raw materials used are staple fibers, vines and leaves, flower petals and bark. Because it is a production in tune with the movements of nature, “We only harvest the banana fibers, after she has already produced the bunch ”, exemplifies the organizer. The whole process is handmade, from cutting to washing the fibers, passing through the cooking of inputs.

Don't hide, which has been engaged in the creation and production of handmade paper for over 15 years, describes your experience as spiritual, “It's something that fills me up and empties me, realize me and overflow me ”. About the lessons that remain, “A learning about humility, impermanence and lack of control over things ”, highlights.

Programming starts at Paper Day (20/09), with Gizelma's speech about “The Sacred in the Art of Paper”. In the lectures of the artists, will be addressed, including, socioenvironmental aspects of artisanal paper production and the importance of paper in their lives. Brasília papermakers participate in the event, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and also Spain and Ecuador.
