THE RED BOOK PROJECT

In January 2020, the Women’s Salon Los Angeles (WSLA) began a project inspired by the tenth anniversary of the publication of Carl Jung’s The Red Book. By working with images from our dreams, we wanted to explore our unconscious.

Three members present a dream during each session, and based on Jungian theory, we discuss and activate these images. After the presentation, they work with the dream images to create an artwork. My work “Redención de un Sueño” was part of this project.

The virtual turn that the project took allowed for women from LA to join in the Mexican group’s discussions and vice versa. Also, artists who live in different countries are now able to participate. The WSLA meetings include women based in Japan and Guatemala, and in Salón Mexico, artists from Paris and London.
