Meet the Community TAI in Diverse Beings: art and diversity to understand each other

Diverse Beings is a podcast that explores the diversity of the Community TAI through the story and experience of the people who are part of it to make visible issues, problems, particularities, concerns that condition us on our way as artists.

Thus, Seres Diversos, which goes hand in hand with the Student Attention and Care Unit, was born as a place where the creators of the Community TAI they can express themselves freely about how their artistic career and life are marked by a path full of challenges. In this sense, each person faces circumstances in very different ways depending on their identity, their place of origin, family history, abilities and particularities.

Objectives of Diverse Beings

  • Make diversity visible, not as a disorder but as a difference.
  • Raise awareness that everyone is on the spectrum of diversity.
  • Foster community awareness and understanding that we grow together.
  • Encourage the people who make up the Community TAI to care and be cared for.
  • Imply that nothing is a defect or a virtue, but that these differences have a positive and creative power.

Piloto

This pilot episode was born from a meeting and discussion between Beatriz López, a psychologist at the Support and Care Department, along with a series of creators and creators of the Community TAI in which they talk about their learning, their difficulties and how to normalize them. Thus, this meeting inspires what soon after became Diverse Beings: art and diversity to understand each other.

Episode 4. New Masculinities

The first season of Seres Diversos comes to an end with a new episode with Jaime Vidal and Pablo Ugalde, who meet with Irene Martin to talk about the construction, perception and change of masculinity in today's society.
