summer pools: DUBHAGAN
Perthshire, Esocia | 2025
En colaboración con Eloise Maltby Maland.
summer pools es un programa anual autogestionado enfocado en prácticas artísticas y espaciales. A través de metodologías situadas y pedagogías multidireccionales, exploramos a lo largo de una semana, temas relacionados con ecologías, lenguaje y territorio.
El proyecto nació de conversaciones sobre la necesidad de replantear modelos de práctica colectiva. Cada año regresamos a Perthshire, donde tomamos prestada una palabra del entorno local que inspira y guía los talleres. Durante una semana, nos reunimos para reflexionar, crear y compartir conocimientos y habilidades, fomentando una experiencia de aprendizaje compartido.

Este año tomamos prestada la palabra gaélica dubhagan, que significa “la parte profunda de una poza, y también la pupila del ojo.”
Ubicades a la orilla de una poza profunda en el río Tay, exploramos la turbidez y las profundidades acuáticas de los cuerpos humanos y fluviales, dentro y alrededor del cauce del río.
Nos movimos entre ojos encarnados y desencarnados, entre distintas formas de visión; jugando con los territorios del cuerpo, los umbrales acuáticos y las modulaciones de la luz.
Gracias, Bonnie, Ishwari, Karen, Lea, Mariana, Meret y Montse.

In collaboration with Eloise Maltby Maland.
summer pools is a yearly week-long, self-organised arts and spatial practice programme. We explore ecologies, languages and our implicated bodies, through situated methodologies and a multidirectional approach to learning.
The project was born out of conversations about a need and yearning to think through alternative models of collective practice. Each year we return to Perthshire where we borrow a word relating to its landscapes that frames the workshops of the programme. Together, over the week, we think, make and share knowledges and skills.

This year we borrowed from the Gaelic word dubhagan, meaning ‘the deep part of a pool, also the pupil of the eye.’
Alongside a deep pool within the River Tay, we explored murkiness and the watery depths of human and riverbodies in and around the riverbed. We moved between dis/embodied eyes and forms of vision - playing with bodily territories, watery thresholds and modulations of light.
Thank you Bonnie, Ishwari, Karen, Lea, Mariana, Meret, Montse!
