PLENARY:

November 24: Juan Luis Moraza.

Venue: Auditorium.

Title: The knowledge of art (notes on cognitive modelling).

Description:

Creation, research and teaching involve very different skills and, in certain aspects, divergent. However, what underlies all of them is the cognitive dimension of the art experience. In relation to the unique articulation between intelligible knowledge and sensitive experience, -characteristic of art-, science, -as stated from its own theory of knowledge, and in the context of cognitive capitalism within the so-called "societies of knowledge”-, supposes a split that fragments the fluid cognitive synthesis that was the cause and effect of the emergence of human intelligence.

Biography:

Sculptor, 1960. He has been holding individual exhibitions since 1980 and participating in both national and international group shows, including the 1994 São Paulo Biennial or the 2001 Venice Biennial. He has curated some important museum exhibitions such as ARTIUM (Vitoria), Reina Sofía (Madrid ) or Guggenheim (Bilbao). His work is present in many collections, both public and private. Associate Professor at the University of Vigo, he regularly teaches in various doctoral programs and masters at different universities such as the UPV/EHU or the UCM. He has published, among others, the books "Publicidad de lo político" (2016), "Formas del límite" (2007), "Corduras" (2008), "Ornamento y Ley" (2007), ""MA(non é)DONNA .

November 25: Angelica Dass. (Not available online)

Venue: Auditorium.

Title: Photography as a tool to generate empathy.

Description:

In «Photography as a tool to generate empathy», Angélica starts from her own personal experiences and her creative process to broaden the social message of her photographic works. She is the author of Humanæ, a constantly evolving photographic work that proposes an unusually direct reflection on skin color. It pursues the goal of documenting the true colors of humanity instead of the false labels "white", "red", "black" and "yellow" associated with race. Ultimately, she seeks to demonstrate that what defines the human being is their inescapable uniqueness and therefore their diversity.

Biography:

Angélica Dass is an award-winning photographer born in Brazil, currently living in Madrid, Spain. Angélica's practice combines photography with sociological research and public participation in the defense of human rights worldwide. She is the creator of the internationally acclaimed Humanæ Project, a collection of portraits that reveal the diversity in the beauty of human colors. The initiative has traveled to more than 80 cities on six continents, from the World Economic Forum in Davos to the pages of National Geographic, to promote dialogue that challenges the way we think about skin color and ethnic identity.
