ROUNDTRIP 2016
This workshop will be taking a critical approach to some of the possibilities for creative action that the open spectrum of identity brings to artistic practices today. New subjectivities are beginning to adopt a stance, proudly accepting their abjectness, and this enables them to structure their own discursive fields of action. These empowered attitudes are radically transforming presentation and representation in art.
The workshop will take the form of a walkthrough that explores some of the manifold narrative possibilities afforded by the new visual configuration which has emerged following a shift in identity politics. The journey will follow various paths through art practices in search of the transformation of collective portraits.
A few years ago we started a collaboration project with teachers from the Enterarte group. What started out as a teacher training course here at the museum has grown into a project on education between equals in which knowledge flows from the two parts: the educators at the museum and the school teachers. This is true to the extent that we not only share visits to exhibitions (inside and outside the museum) and artist workshops with Azucena Vieites, the Colektivof collective, Bárbara Fluxá and Fernando Sánchez Castillo; but also, at the same time, Enterarte adds to the activities at CA2M and brings the everyday reality and experience of schools in order to help us grow as an education department.
