No pixels allowed ???????? A Hands-On Paper Playground with Tina Touli & Thiago Maia ??? Step away from the screen and dive into a world of tangible imagination! Join us at Paradiso, the inspiring new festival for creative minds in Mérida, Mexico, this March, for a one-of-a-kind workshop that reconnects you with the joy of crafting by hand. In this 3-hour immersive experience, we’ll guide you through the art of creating a unique artwork using nothing but paper, typography and your own ingenuity. It’s time to trade pixels for paper, rediscover your inner child, and rekindle the thrill of hands-on exploration. Here’s what you can expect: ? Explore Words & Meanings: Play with typography and bring concepts to life through design. ? Craft with Paper: Choose from a variety of textures and colors to build your masterpiece. Go flat with a classic 2D look or add depth with layered, 3D elements. ? Document the Process: Using analog disposable cameras, you’ll capture every stage of your creation journey in stunning black & white. ? Celebrate Your Work: At the end of the workshop, your artwork and photos will become part of an exclusive Paradiso exhibition, with all proceeds supporting a local cause in Mérida. This workshop isn’t just about making something beautiful—it’s about having fun, sparking your imagination, and embracing the craft like you’re back in university, experimenting with no limits.

Paradiso is not the destination. It’s the entry point. What if it wasn’t perfect? What if it had limits, contradictions, hidden fractures? What if paradise wasn’t something you entered, but something you built—together? At Paradiso Et Ultra, every participant is given a secret message. A trigger. A disruption. A question meant only for you. Your answer will shape something bigger—a collective paradise with no script, no borders, no guarantees. One by one, the pieces will fall into place. The ending? Still unknown. You are not just in Paradiso. You are beyond it. By Vasava ???????????????????????????????????? #ParadisoEtUltra #RewriteParadise #BeyondThePerfect

Event: Paradiso In just one week, I’ll be setting sail for Mérida, Yucatán in Mexico to be part of Paradiso—a creative retreat, a celebration, and a world where the creative community comes together. While there, I’ll be unveiling a special live art performance—more of that magic to come soon. After a month of Scotland’s grey skies, I’m definitely looking forward to a bit of sunshine! If you’re going along, give me a shout. A huge thank you to Héctor Ayuso and Marko Pfann for the invitation and for bringing this visionary creative world to life. I’m excited to be part of it.

Paradiso Echoes is alive ???????? An interactive installation by blit.studio that listens, reacts, and transforms the energy around it—turning sound into movement, presence into waves, and Paradiso into an evolving ecosystem. Featuring soundscapes by Matsu, remixed by @joh000. Step in. Tune in. Be part of the pulse.

There are many legends about cenotes ?? But even before the myths, there’s the feeling. That first moment you step in, the air shifts, the water glows, the world above feels far away. It’s not just a swim; it’s like entering another dimension. Locals say after sunset, these waters aren’t just water anymore. The aluxes guard them, pulling under those who forget to ask permission. And if you’re not careful, the Xtabay, a spirit so beautiful it’s almost unreal, might lure you deeper, all the way to Xibalbá, the Mayan underworld. Are you up for a dip? ?????????? #ParadisoFest?#cenote?#Merida

AI isn’t the villain. It’s just the next wave ?? Some fear it, some swear by it, and most are still figuring it out. At Paradiso,?Russ Maschmeyer?leads a fireside chat with?Joshua Davis?Julien Vallée?and?Karin Fong?to cut through the noise—where we are, what’s shifting, and what we actually want next. No panic, no utopia. Just the real talk on how creativity adapts, evolves, and stays human.
