entre prácticas: migration, corporeality and transdiscipline 

workshop by Eugenia Aptecar

Three-day workshop to invite reflection on how the migratory experience can expand the field of artistic practices of the participants.

We start from transdisciplinarity as a process that breaks the boundaries of traditional knowledge, transforming professional identities and creating new forms of knowledge and connection. This approach promotes dialogue between disciplines, combining the intellectual and the sensitive by exploring different languages and human experiences. When this practice intersects with the life event of migration, the complexity and richness of creative possibilities can intensify. An opportunity arises to construct new meanings, expand the gaze on the spaces of belonging and collectively explore these complementarities.

Through participatory activities and discussions, we will explore questions such as:  

How does the “migratory suitcase” impact identity and artistic work?  

How are the multiple lives that a migrant artist inhabits reflected in his or her work?  

How does the experience of migration become creative potential? 
 

Session 1: Practice Map

Tuesday 1/04 — 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Subjective cartographies of the professional trajectory. Intention, affinities and transdisciplinary traces.
 

Session 2: Collaborative Praxis

Wednesday 2/04 — 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

From individual performance to group synergy. Presence, Territory, Collective Situationality.
 

Session 3 : Exploration of Situated Argumentative Configurations.

Thursday 3/04 — 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Intuition and situated thinking as devices of micro-political reading and creative inspiration.

This workshop is for artists who have gone through a migration process, artists whose practices actively coexist with other trades and people interested in the relationship between creation, migration, subjectivity and community intervention.

This activity coordinated by Diana Rangel is part of Trenza, which proposes to generate alliances with collectives, projects and people in the territory who have a long history of work by, with and for the southern migrant community in Barcelona. Based on the idea that art workers are political agents within the city and that in order to open La Escocesa to a specific community, it must be part of the cultural and political fabric of the city beyond the specificity of contemporary art.
