In these days I am participating in a workshop by La más bella in which I am creating an intervention for the 'rare publication' titled Al hilo de la más bella. La más bella has been creating 'weird' publications since 1993 with all sort of containers and interventions by artists and other professionals. Here you can find more info about their work:

Today I had the real pleasure to be one of the speakers at the panel discussion Fotografía y medio ambiente, vínculos entre arte y ciencia. This conversation took place today together with the Colombian artist Eduardo Soriano, Edwin Gustavo Dussan and Astrid Lili Puerta from SENA Red ambiental and myself in which we focused on the role of photography and art in connection to environment and scientific practices. SENA is the Colombian national system of libraries and this talk is organised by the Biblioteca del Centro Tecnológico de la Amazonía in Caquetá (Colombia). I would like to thank organisers and participants for this immersive and enriching dialogue. What can't be seen on the live youtube/facebook is the many comments and questions taking place which I responded on Google Meet live, thanks a lot for such participation.

This talk took place at SENA youtube and facebook live channel which can also be seen in the following links:

I would like to share this event named "Los árboles hablan" which has been created by the collective Zurciendo el planeta (Dora Napolitano,Liliana Osnaya and Ivone Ortiz) based in Mexico City, this collective has been running some artivist embroidery workshops since lock down in April which I have been following feeling myself part of this international community. The final event was presented virtually but also in the Chapultepec forest in Mexico City and included the contributions made by participants. 

I wanted to be part of it just virtually and I made this symbolic embroidery and the text with it (in spanish). Here my contribution:

I have been invited to run two of the workshops as part of the series of talk about decoloniality organised by the research group Arte, Investigación y Feminismos based at the University of the Basque Country. 

The talks are based on my artistic experience and interest plus a profound research made for this series. The first workshop that took place on the 20th of October 2020 was titled Decolonizar la naturaleza, acciones desde el territorio cuerpo-tierra (Decolonise nature, actions from the territory body-earth/soil), the second that took place on the 27th of October was titled Creación artística y diálogo de saberes, decolonizar desde el hacer “sentipensante” (Artistic creation and dialogue of knowledge, decolonise from the doing "sentipensante").

Both took place at Salón de Grados, Facultad de Bellas Artes, University of the Basque Country. 

Here some images of those gatherings which had both theory and practice.

Resiliencia artística, herramientas creativas en busca de una transformación social.
Taller dirigido por Seila Fernández Arconada.

El arte y la resiliencia se entretejen en el acto creativo. La práctica artística es una práctica resiliente en sí misma y por tanto puede ofrecer herramientas y preguntas en procesos para la transformación social. Es así que propongo una actividad que utilizando el medio virtual de una forma experimental y “experiencial” ofrezca un entorno de participación activa, inclusiva y comprometida, y así generar una reflexión conjunta por medio de la creación.

Esta invitación por tanto, pretende comenzar un camino conjunto viajando entre el pensamiento crítico y la sensorialidad, lo intangible y lo matérico, el individuo y lo colectivo, lo situado y lo global... fomentando la sensibilización y la concientización y así forjar otras formas de hacer (ser). 

​Este taller se ha creado en respuesta al programa actual de #MemorArte Fest.

Artistic Resilience, creative tools in search of a social transformation.
Workshop directed by Seila Fernández Arconada.

Art and resilience are interwoven in the creative act. Artistic practice is a resilient practice in itself and therefore can offer tools and questions in processes for social transformation. Thus, I propose an activity that, using the virtual medium in an experimental and 'experiential' way, offers an environment of active, inclusive and committed participation, and thus generates joint reflection through creation.

This invitation, therefore, intends to start a joint journey between critical thinking and sensoriality, the intangible and the material, the individual and the collective, the situated and the global ... promoting awareness and awareness and thus forging other forms of doing (being).

This workshop has been created in response to #MemorArte Fest 2020.

Today this workshop took place, a gathering where the aim was to share artistic experiences and creative tools but also to exchange ideas arising from an invitation I made to the participants. They had the chance to get immersed in a creative process that came to them in the form of a soundscape. This piece's objective was to inspire them to feel their surroundings responding actively with a creation. Despite the virtual meeting, the encounter was very immersive with a long and deep conversation.  I would like to thank all participants for their commitment and passion. Also, I would like to thank the organisers for their trust on me and my work, it has been a real honour to participate at #MemorArte Fest 2020, gracias.
