Creative Day is an annual event dedicated to the creative and cultural industries, offering a double programme that includes a lecture by Flavia Introzzi, cultural manager and curator, and a showcase of projects by residents from the latest LABoral IMPULSA call for proposals.

This residency programme is the result of collaboration between Gijón IMPULSA, one of the Gijón City Council’s main instruments for supporting the development and growth of the municipality’s business fabric, and LABoral Centro de Arte, a cultural entity specialising in producing, disseminating and promoting access to cultural forms born from the creative use of information and communication technologies.

PROGRAMME:

9:00 am / Welcome

• Semíramis González, Managing Director of LABoral Centro de Arte
• Ángela Pumariega, Deputy Mayor and Councillor for Economy, Employment, Tourism and Innovation
• Luis Díaz, Managing Director of Gijón IMPULSA
• Pablo León Gasalla, Director General of Cultural Heritage of the Government of the Principality of Asturias.

9:10 a.m. / Presentation by Flavia Introzzi, cultural manager and curator

Flavia Introzzi is an Argentine cultural manager and curator who has been living in Madrid since 2007. She is responsible for the hablarenarte project and has also launched the Planta Alta artist residency programme in Madrid.

Her practice and research focus on practices that seek to disrupt hegemonic modes of artistic and cultural production and reception, moving between the institutional field of art, alternative structures, and other social contexts.

Before joining hablarenarte, Flavia developed projects in collaboration with public institutions (Intermediae – Matadero Madrid, Fundación Carolina, Casa del Lector), private organisations (Factum Arte) and independent organisations (Off Limits).

She has promoted the creation of the TEJA Network and the current Platform for Independent Contemporary Creation Spaces in Madrid, and is a recent member of the selection committee of Trans Europe Halles (TEH), the largest international network of independent spaces in Europe.
