Del 16 al 19 de septiembre en Murcia y Cartagena
Do you think classrooms need to change? Do you like building and recycling? Have you got furniture you do not use and you would like to give it a new life? If so, the Manifesta 8 education and mediation department invites you to join the workshop "Aula Remake" on the construction and design of educational spaces with recycled materials. The course, free of cost, will take place simultaneously in Murcia (Pavilion 2 Antiguo Cuartel de Artilleria) and Cartagena (former San Anton Prison).
Time schedule: Thursday September 16 to Sunday September 19 from 10 AM to 14 PM and from 16 PM to 19 PM.
Reservations can be made via e-mail: mediacion@8manifesta8.es or by phone: 868914414.
The workshop will be directed and supervised by Magatzem and Makea designers. The workshop is open to everyone including artists, neighbors, designers, architects, carpenters, educators, anyone interested in education, fond of recycling and interested in offering furniture a second life. Education demands new settings. In traditional classrooms furniture and space design define the links between students and teachers. Something similar can happen in museums and exhibition spaces where the relation with the public is regulated and determined through the architecture: the walks around the halls, the safety distance to the artworks, the lighting, etc. Education at Manifesta 8 is aimed at facilitating approaches to contemporary art and, at the same time, reflecting on educational conventions in the context of art, experimenting with formats and proposing new relations between art and the public, the institution and the public, the Manifesta Biennial and the social context in which it finds itself. The construction of the Biennial's spaces defines several uses and roles for the visitors. The workshop is intended to conceive, design and build didactic spaces in a collaborative way, which will house Manifesta 8's educational activities. In this workshop people are invited to reflect on education and its methods based on the designs of the settings in which they are situated, offering new relationships between students and teachers, between schools and their surrounding areas, between contemporary art and the public.
