– Casa Wabi 2025

Community Project

The Sonar/Soñar Juntos workshop took place over four sessions, offering a collective space for sound experimentation and creative freedom. Each meeting encouraged artistic sensitivity, collaborative work, and the development of new methodologies for musical and visual improvisation, integrating participatory dynamics that strengthened dialogue and connection among participants.

During each session, emphasis was placed on the importance of freedom and trust in the creative process through psychomagic gestures. The opening exercise involved recognizing and burning fears and blocks that interfere with creativity, releasing them to create a safe space for artistic exploration. The closing exercise consisted of a collective action in which participants wrote down their dreams, which were gathered in a bottle and symbolically cast into the sea, establishing a metaphor for dreaming throughout the creative process.

Exercises included practices of active listening, both to the surrounding sounds and to emotions. Musical improvisation was combined with generative images, words, and everyday sounds, fostering new creative connections. Sessions concluded with a collective improvisation, allowing participants to experience states of connection, creative trance, and moments of communion with the whole.
