summer pools
Perthshire, Esocia | 2023 - recurrente
En colaboración con Eloise Maltby Maland.
summer pools es una escuela de verano autogestionada de arte y prácticas espaciales. Nació de la necesidad de reflexionar sobre modelos alternativos de práctica artística y apoyo colectivo. Concebimos summer pools como un espacio que reúne, da oxígeno y reflexiona sobre formas solidarias de crear. Queremos juntar a personas para que se conozcan, piensen juntas, jueguen, creen y compartan conocimientos y habilidades.
summer pools es un espacio en movimiento. Situándonos en diferentes lugares cada año, tomamos prestada una palabra relacionada con su territorio particular, que enmarca las actividades del programa.

La primera iteración del programa tuvo lugar en Perthshire, Escocia. Prestamos la palabra gaélica "taghraim", que significa "ruido; eco; tipo de adivinación mediante la escucha del ruido de las cascadas", y exploramos los ruidos, los silencios, la voz y la escucha junto a las fuertes corrientes del río Tay a través de diferentes formatos, que incluyen dibujar, escribir, leer, caminar, cartografiar, moverse, grabar y trabajar con las manos.
Ocho personas viajamos desde Italia, España, Alemania y el Reino Unido para una semana de talleres, paseos y conversaciones con un grupo increíble que aportó muchas texturas, intereses, conocimientos y experiencias.
¡Muchas gracias a nuestras primeras participantes!

In collaboration with Eloise Maltby Maland.
summer pools is an arts and spatial practice summer school programme. It was born out of conversations about a need and yearning to think through alternative models of collective practice and support. We envision summer pools as a space that brings people together, gives oxygen and thinks through ways of making that are supportive. We are keen to gather people to get to know each other, think together, play, make things, and share knowledges and skills.
summer pools is a moving space. Situating ourselves in different locations, we borrow a word relating to its particular territory, which frames the activities within the programme.

The first iteration of summer pools programme took place in Perthshire, Scotland. We borrowed from the Gaelic word of ‘taghraim’ meaning a ‘noise; echo; type of divination by listening to the noise of waterfalls’, and explored noises, silences, voicing and listening next to the loud currents of the River Tay through different formats, which include drawing, writing, reading, walking, collecting, mapping, moving, recording, and making.
Eight of us travelled from Italy, Spain, Germany, and the UK for a week of workshops, walks, conversations with an amazing group who brought many textures, interests, knowledges and experiences.
Thank you so much to our first participants!
