- 🎪 Camilo Acosta Mendoza, a Colombian artist, discovered the art of clowning in 2007. Despite having a stable engineering career, he chose to take to the streets of Bogota to perform and delve into the world of clowning. 🤹♂️ In 2012, he ventured to France to further his expertise in this discipline. From 2013 to 2015, Camilo completed an 18-month training program in public art creation, which propelled him to explore the transformative power of clowning and utilize performative arts to contribute to the pre-creation and re-evolution of humanity. 🌍
For the past 10 years, Camilo has made Slovenia his home, using his clowning skills to engage communities, captivate audiences with street performances, and foster intercultural dialogue. 🏘️🌈 Within the framework of the Art is Us project, Camilo, in collaboration with Markos, conducted impactful workshops known as "circus interventions" in two communities in need. The first workshop involved a partnership with Cona Polje, where young individuals from disadvantaged families were invited to participate in an interactive workshop. 🤸♂️ The second workshop took place in a refugee camp in Logatec, offering children from refugee families an opportunity to engage in the transformative power of the circus. 🎭 These interventions were guided by the principles of social circus, which employs art as an educational alternative to empower at-risk youth. 🎪🌟
