Programming

In this series of workshops, participants were led to explore their identification with the territory and to discover, reveal and invent signs, symbols and identity markers through a series of practical exercises, oriented around graphic and plastic creation. Workgroup performative creation workshops complemented the program to prepare for the final presentation of the projects.
