Aprender con tacto is a record of intimate fragments that arise from personal memories of an art and education process. An interweaving of experiences in which young artists explore various forms of (un)knowledge.
“Through the senses of the body, we expose ourselves to something touching us, happening to us, transforming us. That’s why, to formulate our own senses about who we are and to imagine what we can become, we explore a plurality of gestures: opening and closing our eyes, looking slowly, listening, touching ourselves, others, and the space around us, living the encounters, talking about what happens to us, sharing recognizable and unrecognizable moments, singing and dancing intensely, stopping at the details, feeling without haste, and cultivating attention.
With the 4th ESO students Nimra Abbas, Víctor Antoranz, Jesús Augusto Chacón, Jackson Abel Falcón, Ausah Hayat, Carla Lara Morales, Dalila López, Ainhoa Martín, Andrea Melero, María Feben, Martina Parramón, Lucas Salomon Pereira, Sergio Lucas Pérez, Ángel Leonardo Ramos, Anabel Robles, Lisseth Ainhoa Rubio, Sara Torres, Abril Villanova, Pei Pei Ye Xia and teachers Eva Navas and Alexandre Noguerol.
