2 HOURS AND 20 MINUTES AT A DEPTH OF 20 METRES
It strikes us as incredibly important to try to bring back this passion, especially at a time when art is being pushed out of the curriculum at schools. This year we want to start a project together with José Luis, Mercedes and Carmen (art teachers at the Europa secondary school) so that the students can create their own space for creativity. A place where they can turn on the kilns once again, increase the number of hours in creating, and defend the importance of art.
BECOMING INVISIBLE / LIVING TOGETHER IN CLASS / STOPPING TIME
In this workshop the groups will work with art’s capacity to transform time and space. Over the course of the various sessions the class will be turned into a room and the museum into a house. The students will turn off the lights, remove the desks and dance. They will visit the most intimate corners of the museum and together they will build a shelter.
GOING MAD
A two-session workshop using action and performance to think from a queer perspective about ways of being that are beyond binary categories and fixed definitions of identity.
To meet up, to write, to speak, to read an extract, a sentence, a word, to keep silent, to get up and go to the blackboard, to dither
Q ENCOUNTER 2018
With The Last Letter is Q, Changing Name and Project Q, this year we continue our exploration of queer research and pedagogies, which we began some years ago now.
La Casa is a quest, a deal, an adventure, a disaster of one’s own making, a practice that refutes that “always is never possible.”.
Schools are places where forms of interrelating and identity are produced. At times, the classroom is governed by a set of rules based on a binary vision of gender, sex and sexuality that limit any other possibility of being in the world.
Experience-based practices involve a much higher level of learning that those focused on the transmission of given knowledge. That is why, at the end of the academic year we organise a summer workshop for teachers with the goal of exploring the educational potential of action and ways of constructing knowledge that can come from action.
