Fechas del Futuro
The workshop’s challenge is to address the subject of the future without resounding apocalyptic, but having the potential to be a door for both desire and imagination as a playful way of learning. How to propose non-apocalyptic visions to children? How to suggest some realities? or at least how to propose visions that they can complete themselves?
Thinking about the school context and the power of children’s imagination, the dates will be present not only as a work of art but also as propitious elements to develop imagination exercises through drawing, writing and reading stories invented by children, but they can also eventually give rise to math exercises, or even mixed with dates from history, playing by adding and subtracting historical dates with future dates.
In artistic terms, the use of abstraction (as I work and understand it) will lead the way in terms of philosophical reflection, humanistic etc. There are also questions around the theme of time and its abstraction, since it is about its representation.
It will be about speculating, imagining, but it will NOT be about establishing definitive truths.
