SONIA OSIO is a Venezuelan-born artist whose work celebrates both the diversity of our world, and the threads of the arts that can connect us all. She is known internationally for her Global Mandala. In Charleston, she co-created an installation commemorating the 100th anniversary of James Simons Montessori School, which uses paper mandalas designed by students, collective members, or others to create a large spiral of memories, dreams, and hopes because ‘another world is possible’. This installation, called “In the Whorl of Time”, will remain up for the full 19-20 schoolyear and is helping the students understand the legacy of their school in Charleston.
