The Solstice Festival is a relational and intercultural artistic proposal running from winter 2022 to present, taking place every June 21st and December 21st, coinciding with the astronomical solstices. The project takes the solar rhythm as its starting point to symbolically activate the links between people, cultures, and territories.

It takes place in open-air public spaces, especially in parks and gardens adjacent to museums in the city of Lima, Perú. This choice reinforces the sensorial and communal dimension of the project, proposing a relationship between art, urban nature, and the body in movement. The festival transforms these everyday spaces into places of creation and encounter.
The central theme of the proposal is the public intervention of a collection of solar-inspired drawings, presented in an ephemeral installation, like a collective artist's coloring book. Hanging and with accessible copies, the drawings, created by artists from Peru and around the world, address solar inspiration through personal experiences or as a testament to collective celebrations, highlighting symbolic qualities according to the different cultures of their creators. The installation is ephemeral not only because of its short duration, but also because of its progressive transformation: as people color or recreate the drawings, the meanings multiply, and the works become testimony to a shared relational process.
Participation is open, intergenerational, and inclusive. The simple and accessible act of coloring allows people to engage in an aesthetic practice charged with symbolism, affection, and memory. This collective gesture acquires meaning as it catalyzes experiences of well-being, contemplation, and community.
