GUIDED TOUR
Accompanied by a Centre guide, the tour shows the exhibition EXTRALOCALS, a collection of art projects emerging from temporary residences in cities which are not the artists' usual homes, ie in exotic contexts for them. During the visit a fluid dialogue will be maintained with visitors to reflect upon the four projects. We will tour through various artistic projects to discover:
The ragdolls resulting from a workshop in Cairo where girls of about 12 years explored their present circumstances, and projected their dreams and hopes for the future .
How imaginative and poetic Helsinki botanical gardens can be when, much of the year, all its plants are buried under snow.
How an art project could be invited to reflect on migration and the political conflicts generated by the movement of people across borders.
How art can also be a motivating element of public participation in the district La Perseverancia of Bogota.
