Fashion Victims Action. Yolanda Dominguez.
The concepts of "interaction" and "community" that characterize our social space today require new forms of relationship between artist and viewer. It is necessary to rethink the place and role of art in and out of the economic model and generate new forms of dialogue linking him with the public and current contexts.
This workshop presents art as a meeting place between people, as an activity that is inserted into the social spaces and tests the limits of resistance of the institutional sphere, a set of exchanges that goes beyond the material form to propose dynamic situations of collective experience.
We will discuss various strategies and proposals for social activation, new languages and areas of action and apply together in a group work.
