‘Moving while doing, nomadic artistic perceptions in socio-environmental transitory times’ a project by Visiting Fellow Seila Fernández Arconada

The relationship between human beings and the notion of place is changing constantly; we are always in “natural” transition. Therefore observing, mapping, experiencing and analising the limits between the tangible and intangible while addressing socio-environmental (contemporary) concerns become relevant.

This project has been an experimental form of work – like moving-while-doing – as an attempt to unleash new forms of art research exploring the limits between place-identity, migration, belonging, the notion of home, the visible-invisible, the natural, etc.

This presentation is an artistic conclusion of this project after a month Fellowship at the Moore Institute.
