Between October 21st and 28th, in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, eight sculptors worked live at the Manzana 1 square, within the “I International Sculptors Workshop”. The participants were 4 international sculptors (Aldo Shiroma and Karen Macher from Peru, Chalo Tulian from Argentina and Gustavo Beckelmann from Paraguay) and 4 Bolivian sculptors (Juan Bustillos, León Saavedra, Claribel Catoira and Carolina Sanjinés), who used parts of the Cariniana estrellensis tree harvested for the Un Árbol Bolivia Project.
