Thursday we went to Barranco, well-known for its community of artists and renown for its access to the beach. After a brief introduction by Celia, our coordinator and guide we crossed the "Bridge of Sighs" and went to a lookout passing on of LIma's oldest Cathedrals with a mud/straw roof.

Shortly thereafter, we arrived to Victor Delfin's house, private studio and workshop. Victor Delfin is an artist/artisan recognized for breaking with traditional schools of art. He never studied in Paris but has made many statements about life through his work, through his mission, and through his life.

After a brief tour of the house he owns and all that he has built on his property overlooking the Pacific Ocean, we sat down with Victor Delfin, still very spry in his 80 plus years of life.

He encouraged the students to allow for creativity in our lives. We were inspired by his art. He pushes the margins of social acceptance in his art, as well as history, political satire and irony as well as more progressive themes.
