Tiziano Cruz

Art as an attempt at influencing daily life and establishing new community and social ties.
Architectures of the Social Body in Artistic Practice
Cifas invites Tiziano Cruz to give a workshop, following his performance, Wayqeycuna, at Kaaitheater on 27 and 28 March.
This workshop will be an encounter between art, public space and political thought in creative processes. We will focus on interdisciplinary crossovers to (re)think the space we inhabit in our daily lives.
It is important to (re)think how a city, a neighbourhood, a street corner, a park, a river, a club, a café, in short public or private spaces, are loaded with experiences and are configured. Above all, we will reflect on everything that happens there, as well as which spaces take centre stage and which spaces occupy the periphery.
-
In our creative and community processes, how do we begin to create a work of art?
-
How do the spaces we inhabit influence this artistic research?
-
Is it possible to create artistic experiences without considering public and/or private spaces?
-
What do we want to see, show, tell?
-
What do we put at the centre and what do we put in the margins?
This workshop will be a space open to theoretical, practical and collective discussion, where we will bring our bodies, architectures and thoughts together to address a number of topics:
-
Centre - Periphery
-
Colonialism - Neocolonialism - Decoloniality
-
Art & Activism.
We will approach performance and/or community practice, not as the development of an art object that can be consumed by an art elite, but as the possibility of producing a new organisation of the everyday social field, to investigate a common subjectivity. It is necessary to think of artistic production as a means of creating bonds, as a way of sharing a gesture, a moment, a temporal and spatial space.
This workshop will be led in Spanish and translated into English. It is essential to speak at least one of these two languages.
