CantaBuenosAires: Imaginary Beings / Seres imaginarios

This Anglo-Argentine project is inspired by the Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges and his Book of Imaginary Beings (in Spanish, Libro de seres imaginarios). The book contains brief descriptions of 120 beasts from mythology and folklore, including creatures that may be quite familiar to us (like unicorns and hippogriffs) and others that may not be (like the monkey of the inkpot and the tigers of Annam).

From March 2021, art and design students from Cambridge School of Art and Universidad Torcuato di Tella, Buenos Aires, will work together to create collages constructed from public domain images. We hope to extend this project in 2021/22 towards a book and exhibitions in both territories.
