Urdidura

This project's artistic proposal is motivated by the creative and transformative potential of encounters between workers, migrants and pensioners, guided by a multidisciplinary team from the fields of film, drama, performance, theatre, and the social sciences.

The artistic and social objectives are interwoven: the aim is to create empathy and rapport through the co-creation of short films based on life stories. Dramaturgy associated with filmmaking plays a central role as a practice and way of structuring the process. The Corpo Coletivo [Collective Body] workshop, the core artistic action, is based on stimulating exercises in the sharing of life stories and the co-creation of fictions that provide creative tools and communication and social skills. Satellite actions establish the link between this creative process and the community.

Project supported under the 3rd edition of the PARTIS & Art for Change initiative, promoted by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the ‘la Caixa’ Foundation.
