Body word object x Tàpies

During the 2019–20 academic year, the Department of Education and Public Programmes of the Fundació Antoni Tàpies has conducted the educational project ‘body word object x Tàpies‘,conceived and developed by the A Bao A Qu Association with the participation of Isabel Banal (visual artist), Antoni Clapés (poet) and Àngels Margarit (dancer and choreographer). These three creative artists have devised dialogues with the work of Antoni Tàpies based on visual art, poetry and movement together with students and teachers from Year 6 of Primary School Drassanes, Year 1 of ESO of the Institut Escola Artístic Oriol Martorell and Year 4 of ESO of the Institut Moisès Broggi.

Open to anyone interested, in this seminar we will discuss these processes with the organisers of the project, and offer them to other centres as engines of educational research.

This activity is part of the Fundació’s thirtieth anniversary celebrations. With this seminar, our Department of Education and Public Programmes aims to promote educational research by stimulating work through long-term projects.
