Cos Col·lectiu IN RESiDENCE at the School Jaume Balmes

The creation project will be developed around the 175th anniversary of the Jaume Balmes secondary school. Using the school’s photographic archive and the exhibitions of El Born CCM, our proposal is that the group explores its collective imagination on what life was like for young people at different historic moments, and on the connection with their current reality, such as, for example, the relationship with their own image, relationship with the territory, affective relationships, the way in which people expressed themselves in photographs, etc.

Work will be done in an intermodal way, in other words, through different artistic languages, moving from one type to another. The languages with which we are used to working and which we consider relevant for the type of work are writing, photography, video, performative actions, etc. During the process, moments of personal research will be alternated with moments for classic sharing, thus generating a group view that may integrate the different subjectivities.
