MILAGROS & "Pee-wee's Playhouse"

April 29, 2019 • Milagros • Season 1 • Episode 12

MILAGROS Collective co-founders Felici Asteinza and Joey Fillastre, along with their ever-changing cast of collaborators, create site-specific works that explore the history of place through striking arrangements of color and mark. With an exuberant style that champions the hand made and the intuitive, MILAGROS energizes public spaces with effervescent patterns that obliterate the seams between structures and highlight the unique attributes of the surrounding architecture. The spirit of playful spontaneity MILAGROS brings to their work results in community-based projects that radiate human dignity. For this episode they discuss the impact "Pee-wee's Playhouse" had on their playful, imaginative style.
