Searching for fossils

First of the stories that make up the mediation path initiated with the project.

Of masterships, heroics and mediations

Reflection on the process of mediation in its last phase, a moment in which issues such as forms of governance or the constructed link that will remain once the artistic production is concluded come up.

The video of the online workshop is now available: "Nature Based Solutions and art. A relationship to explore".

The meeting, given by Juan del Río, took place last Thursday, 21 March, and sought to rethink what the contribution of art can be to the production of sustainable artistic works.

The book 'Dancing Diversity' looks at the party as a space of celebration for all bodies.

The publication, which will include texts signed by the mediator-curator Veronica Valentini, the artist Osías Yanov, the activist Antonio Centeno and Brigitte Vasallo and Bob Pop, among others, will be available in your trusted bookshops.

Job offer for project and partnership manager

The new person, who would become part of the coordination office team, will have among his or her tasks to identify new sources of funding and opportunities for innovation and development of the organisation.

The artist, Asunción Molinos Gordo, begins to imagine her production together with the villagers of Couso.

I am talking to them, picking them out and asking them questions to which they all answer, calmly, expanding and letting memories, memories, bodies, experiences, desires, territory, illusion but also discomfort and fear of a process that, for now, they visualise as inconcrete and diffuse.
