Participate in the Art Camp and develop your volunteer work within the framework of the Festival de Máscaras de Buenos Aires.

This two-week experience offers the opportunity to learn how to work within the framework of an art festival and get to know the Argentine “porteña” culture. The Mask Festival is one of the most vibrant and colorful events in the city. It is an annual celebration that brings together artists, craftsmen, and culture enthusiasts from different places to share their passion for the art of masks. This event aims to promote, showcase, and multiply the ancestral language of mask theater.

Additionally, it not only highlights creativity and cultural diversity but also promotes the exchange of knowledge and techniques among participants. The activity is carried out by the Community Theater Project Los Pompapetriyasos, which is part of the projects developed by the intercultural volunteer program of Fundación SES, Subir al Sur.
