El Consultori opens to the artistic community of Barcelona oriented to creators of the visual arts who want to inquire into their practice, their work methodologies, share ongoing projects or strengthen them in dialogue with the perspectives and experiences of other artists. Nowadays it is coordinated by Laura Arensburg y Natalia Carminati.
Founded on a circular and horizontal group work dynamic, participants are invited to share doubts, exchange ideas and spread inspirations. In this sense, the participants are the main activators and articulators of the flows and dynamics of the group work.
El Consultori nourishes by active and sensitive listening, the circulation of words, close and constructive views, the composting of diverse practices and fertile advice that the coordinators follow-up deepening and attending to individual and collective needs and cares. To do this, Natalia and Laura suggest different methodologies and exercises of perception and fermentation. These exercises appeal to create porous meetings allowing participants to detect and connect with the fissures of their projects as spaces of openness and transformation.
