We will meet the projects of:
Lucía Batalla: ‘Autómatas Vegetales’ is based on this idea to explore and problematise how we relate to the ‘natural’, and more specifically, to plants. And the fact is that, although we humans do not usually perceive it with the naked eye, the truth is that all plants move.
Joana Carro: The project ‘Pinctada Radiata: culturing the ruins of the seabed’ aims to contribute to the dissolution of the barriers between species and landscapes, between the human and the non-human, between the land and the ocean. The project will start from an inter-species mimetic process, exploring the possibilities of a new biomaterial.
Olmo Cuña: “Colosal nº8″ explores the connections between the roundabout of the Olmec head in Ensanche de Vallecas (Madrid) with the Italian “colossal” cinema characterised by the recreation of great classical settings.
Sara García: The project ‘moulding mourning mouths’ reflects on multi-species food, the importance of coexistence and food ethics. It starts with the work with bread, given its characteristic as an offering and its connection with hospitality, as well as with climate change; and the mourning we are experiencing due to the irreversible loss of biodiversity.
Gonzalo Mon Valdés: The project ‘Amigas viejas de las que no sé nada’ is a multidisciplinary artistic research that links the real and the fictional, trying to compose, from a queer point of view, a rhizome of other people’s and own memories that are triggered by found and manipulated objects.
