CAN AN IMAGE WEEP FOR A PREVIOUS IMAGE? CORRESPONDENCES WITHIN THE ARCHIVE

Workshop given by Negra Mosca collective

Saturday 19 October at Celler de Rubí. From 10:00 in the morning to 20:00 in the evening.

Registration 50 €.

 

This workshop follows the methodology developed by Aby Warburg in Atlas Mnemosyne. With the desire to expand the idea of the archive and break with the dichotomy between individual and collective, between past and present and between here and there, this creative experience is proposed.

 

One of the peculiarities of our time is having access to millions of images without having to move. We are no longer the ones who go to visit the images, but they are the ones who do so. Whether we want to or not. This means that we can maintain a more direct and extensive relationship with our collective imaginary, which unfolds before us unhindered and permeates us with images that we read, use and recycle consciously and unconsciously, especially from the contexts of the visual arts.

 

"Can an image cry for a previous one?" is a workshop proposal that seeks, through different dynamics, to use images to better understand how we signify the reality that surrounds us. Through a first exercise, we will look for the first links within the same personal archive to then permeate all the material to the rest and build dialogues between images collectively that will draw a kind of constellation full of possible combinations.

 

Methodology:

 

This workshop has been conceived to become a participatory and horizontal proposal, a kind of collective game that serves to work on, and through, the archive. It will consist of a first theoretical part, which will include the deployment of the conceptual framework and the display of references, and a second practical part that will consist of two different moments: a first individual exercise where we will work with the photographic archive itself and a second collective exercise, where we will overflow the individual archives to make them part of the same constellation from which we will end up extracting different stories. Finally, there will be the last part of the session, which will seek to formalise the different stories that have emerged from the previous dynamics, in various publication formats.

 

The activity is aimed at anyone interested in photography or visual arts. No previous experience or knowledge is necessary.

 

Negra Mosca is a collective and a community of people who come together to generate an active network for the exchange of knowledge and experiences in the field of visual creation.

The project is formalised within a space that serves as a meeting place and a place for the creation of projects in which a cultural and educational programme is developed.

 

Sara Sanz (Barcelona, 1994), graduated in Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona, since 2017 she has been working in the fields of photography and visual arts, teaching and cultural mediation.

 

Marta Sellares (Calatayud, 1996), graduated in Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona, currently combines the development of her projects with her work as a teacher at El Observatorio and cultural mediation.
