Ariscia Yaari

Who leads it

Actor, artist-creator and integrative therapist. BA in Performing Arts from UNESP, trained at Theater Total, in Germany, and studied on-camera acting at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, in New York. Postgraduate student in Transpersonal Psychology.

Cicatriz Oficina grew out of a question she had to answer for herself: how do you build a life that leaves room to create?

Frequently asked questions

What is Cicatriz Oficina?

An online workshop created by Ariscia Yaari, with 8 sessions, for people who want to be artists but are still discovering how to sustain that path. It works on the relation between authorship, work and creative freedom, and on building a life able to sustain the artist in you.

Who is Cicatriz Oficina for?

For anyone who wants an artistic life, in any language or medium, and finds it hard to turn desire into movement. It is not technical training in one art form: it is a space to find out what you want to create, what is blocking it and how to build concrete conditions for it to exist.

When does enrolment open?

Enrolment for the first edition opens on January 10, 2027. Until then you can leave your contact on this page to be told when it opens.

How do the sessions work?

8 weekly sessions, online and live, 2 to 2.5 hours each, in groups of 8 to 12 people. Each person arrives with a Seed Project and leaves with something moving in the world.

How do I apply for a solidarity place?

This first group has 2 solidarity places for Black or Indigenous people. Apply through the solidarity places form on this page, with your name, a contact, your self-declaration and a few lines about you and your project.
