Some Venezuelans have found a way to survive their country’s economic crisis by creating art from paper money made valueless due to inflation. They use a modular form of origami similar to that used by a group of Chinese refugees from the Golden Venture cargo ship in New York during the 1990s. The similarity is not the result of a direct connection; most likely both practices are based on the same traditional Chinese folk art techniques. The unique aspect of the Venezuelan crafts is that they almost exclusively use devalued Venezuelan currency as artistic material. This document provides a closer look at the development of this money art within the context of the migrant crisis through the perspective of Art For Impact, a social organization that has worked directly with Venezuelan money artists in Cúcuta over the last two years.
