Being part of an artistic network, one of our objectives is to promote artists and to encourage them to raise social awareness through their work, projects and events. We design social events using visual arts, photography, filmmaking, dance and theatre, as well as other artistic disciplines. Our method is dynamic and adaptable to communities’ needs.
Below is an example of one of our ‘Social Exhibitions’, The Salon of Spanish Rejects, an open dialogue between the public and artists, in which we exhibit their work and also offer workshops using different techniques. Our objective is to create new spaces in which to bring together communities, art and artists, raising social awareness about social matters by developing creativity and critical thinking through the arts.
