What do I offer?
Situated Workshops: I create situated projects, workshops, exchanges following the opportunities and limitations of each opportunity while looking for the best methods to promote intercultural dialogue, social cohesion and artistic collaboration. All collective spaces require of specific topics, methods, needs and objectives and this experience has given me a wide range of skills and expertise to train and facilitate with different groups in:
- Educational Institutions: Schools, universities, research centers and adult education centers
- Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs)
- Community Groups and Colectives
- Cultural Centers and Museums
Collaborative Spaces: Creating inclusive respectful environments for intercultural transdisciplinary dialogue can offer meaningful exchange for collaborations to take place. I create spaces where safety is vital, fostering a sense of belonging and shared purpose among participants in order to empower individuals and communities.
Holistic Artistic Approach: by following bespoke creative and experiential approaches to promote engagement and understanding, I create unique proposals where topics merge with methods inspired by: (eco)socially engaged art practices, trauma-informed approaches, ancestral and transdisciplinary learning, ecological literacy, outdoors non formal education... This space for artistic expresion allows different art forms to explore personal and collective narratives.
Contemporary ecosocial issues: by situating workshops in the here-now I provide a (g)local contextual information on ecosocial challenges, showing interconnectedness to topics such as climate change, food sovereignty, sustainable approaches… among many other that merge into the question "how is our relationship with Nature?" (the core of my research in my artistic practice). This approach enables a deeper understanding on such topics as well as promotes other narratives and questions based upon embodied learning and collective imagination.
International perspective: for over 20 years I have been a migrant, this perspective is key on international intercultural projects. This unique pathway that took me to develop projects in different continents becomes a set of multicultural skills. I have worked with diverse communities worldwide while experiencing various ecosocial crisis such wars and natural disasters.
Conflict Management and Conflict Resolution: I am experienced at working with diverse groups of people and skilled in addressing disagreements, fostering understanding, and facilitating productive group dynamics. My ability to create safe and supportive environments, combined with my expertise in conflict management and resolution, enables me to effectively navigate challenges and promote collaboration.
Background
As an experienced international group trainer and facilitator, I am specialised in creating immersive, inclusive and dynamic environments for diverse groups to engage in meaningful dialogue, sharing experiences to create long lasting bonds and networks. With a strong foundation in artistic methodology, inspired by academic transdisciplinary methods merged with artistic experiential practices, intercultural dialogue and non-formal pedagogy, I am committed to create project specific methods responding to a wide range of topics and groups.
This expertise has been materialised in many projects along my artist-researcher experience. It is born, a long time ago, when I was a teenager I used to be a kids facilitator in summer camps in Spain which grew up in various ways including workshops with adults and kids in my early 20s as one of the art leaders at the community center "Midnimo Center "in St Pauls, Bristol (UK), a long term community engagement that inspired and settled the pillars of my early artistic practice. |
