“Tiliches” is the Costa Rican word for hanging trinkets.
This is a small part of our [large] installation, which has taken us several weeks to complete. Every Saturday, the youngsters and their moms spend the entire afternoon creating the cardboard disks, which Silvia later turns into hanging garlands.
“TILICHES” ES LA PALABRA COSTARRICENSE PARA CHUCHERÍAS QUE CUELGAN.
ÉSTA ES UNA PEQUEÑA PARTE DE NUESTRA [GRAN] INSTALACIÓN, LA CUAL NOS HA TOMADO VARIAS SEMANAS EN COMPLETAR. CADA SÁBADO, LOS JÓVENES Y SUS MADRES PASAN TODA LA TARDE CREANDO LOS DISCOS, LOS CUALES SILVIA CONVIERTE EN GUIRNALDAS COLGANTES.
