Starting with a guided visit to the exhibition Lengua en coro, cuenta, we will explore how water is a resource that flows not only through fountains, but also through languages, memories and bodies. Cristina Mejías’s exhibition evokes a territory where things speak, fountains breathe and materials remember. The workshop seeks to activate this choral quality by inviting participants to engage in deep listening with the installation and then to imagine characters for a collective fable that will be brought to life through role play. The activities aim to open up reflection on water as an agent of communication between beings, bodies and histories, and to activate the imagination through creative exercises.

Aimed at adults, the workshop will begin in Nave 0 and conclude in the Aulario with a series of activities that include listening and drawing with watercolours.

Tickets for 31 January go on sale on 16 January at 12:00 pm.

This proposal is designed and developed by Juan Pablo Pacheco.
