El 24 de febrero del 2019 se llevó a cabo la 6ta edición de la Feria del Maíz en la comunidad de San Miguel Tlaxcaltepec (Mexico), un día para compartir y celebrar el maíz, la milpa y la cultura local. Esta actividad congregó a productores de maíz de la zona, con el cual se pretende fortalecer la siembra de semilla criolla y hacer trueque e intercambio de este producto además de diálogo e intercambio de saberes, experiencias y productos derivados del maíz. Durante el día se desarrollaron presentaciones culturales, mesas de diálogo, actividades para niños y niñas, venta de comida y artesanías y otros. Enmarcado en este evento tuve el honor de colaborar con Alejandro Mira Tapia (Psicología Social, Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro) presentando la actividad para niños "Taller de Creación de Cuentos sobre el Maíz" un tiempo intenso de aprendizaje e intercambio con los niños y niñas de San Miguel Tlaxcaltepec además de visitantes la feria. Las siguientes imágenes documentan ese día en el cual creamos cuentos visuales, escritos y sonoros; más información sobre los cuentos creados será compartida pronto. Más info sobre la feria AQUÍ

Grüner Grashalm e.V. has published a short video in memory of the workshop Shifting Perspectives: Merging Approaches to Arts and Activism in which I was the facilitator. This workshop took place in September-October in Ukraine and Germany last year. The video focuses on the experience at the Carpatian Mountains in Ukraine. Please click on the images to watch it, more documentation here "++In good memory++ Autumn last year we gathered in the Ukrainian Carpathians a group of amazing people under the topic Art meets Activism - and see for yourself now what happened! It was a blast! #meetup_evz #CivilSocietyCooperation The project was implemented in coorporation with Logos, Seila Fernández Arconada and Active YOUkraine. Sponsored by: Meet up: Deutsch-Ukrainische Jugendbegegnungen Німецько-Українські зустрічі, EVZ Foundation, Robert Bosch Stiftung,Auswärtiges Amt"   Taller impartido por Seila Fernández Arconada (artista e investigadora) 25 Febrero 2019 de 10 a 3pm. Facultad de Psicología Social UAQ (Querétaro, Mexico) El taller está dirigido a alumnos con interés en procesos artísticos multidisciplinares que se inspiran del ámbito socio-medioambiental contemporáneo. Desde los "puntos de reunión" los participantes partirán del mapeo del espacio público trabajando diferentes técnicas de exploración artística buscando así reflexionar desde el encuentro y la colaboración multidisciplinar.  During the last weeks, I have been invited by the Psychology Department of the Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro (Mexico) to give a number of talks in the courses "Estratégias de Intervención" and "Acercamiento a temáticas sociales" both at the Licenciatura de Psicología. These courses are led by the lecturer and researcher Alejandro Mira Tapia who holds a research study about intercultural studies and youth in the Otomí indigenous community.
A few days ago I had the opportunity to give a talk in the seminar "Imaginarios corporales" at the Gender Studies Masters Degree of Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro (Fine Arts Department) Thanks to Hugo Chávez Mondragón for the invitation; very enriching conversations I am very pleased for.  Last few days, I had the opportunity to attend to the three days congress SIT_AC XIV "What we talk about when we talk about Art" in Mexico City. Many interesting talks and discussions including Juan Luis Moraza, João Fernandes, Coco Fusco, Ticio Escobar, Stephen Wright and Dora Garcia. Time to digest all this information to keep on working in this field.  After a year full of projects with lots of learning in many different projects and countries. I am ready for 2019 where new artistic challenges will appear, where I will respond with enthusiam and expertise. For now happy Christmas to all and I wish you the best for the next year!  The following link include the information and documentary film about the exhibition Rising Up, Flowing Down in which I took part last May with the In Between Collective. Please have a look for further information HERE Also please have a look to the documentation on my own website HERE More documentation about the projects by The In Between Collective still to come.     |
