Defenses de tesi

Description:

Black is a stage dance piece based on improvisation and inspired by choreographic elements from key styles of the African urban scene, such as coupé-décalé, afrohouse, azonto and krump. With this work, the artist seeks to reflect on and express what it feels like to be a Black person within our “modern” society.

A reflection on violence and the emancipation of contemporary Blackness through a body that narrates, challenges and unsettles. A body that is, at the same time, wound and celebration.

Oulouy is an artist born in Ivory Coast and based in Barcelona, specialised in urban dance forms such as hip-hop, house dance and various modern African dances, including coupé-décalé and ndombolo, with a strong emphasis on freestyle.

Description:

The inauguration of the UAB's Week of Culture and Human Rights, running from 16 to 26 March, will take place on 16 March at 1:30 p.m. with the dance performance BLACK at the UAB Theatre Hall. The activity is organised by the Culture Unit and the UAB University Social Responsibility project, with the support of the Faculty of Law, the Faculty of Communication Studies and the UAB Fundació Autònoma Solidària, among other entities.

Drawing on episodes from recent history such as #BlackLivesMatter movement or the murder of George Floyd, Oulouy draws on his own life experience to explore what it means to inhabit a black body in Europe. Through languages such as krump, urban dance and modern dance, the performance articulates a physical and emotional response to discrimination, stereotypes and exclusionary dynamics. The piece has been part of programmes linked to anti-racist initiatives and social reflection spaces, reinforcing its political and pedagogical dimension. BLACK not only engages the viewer from an artistic standpoint, but also invites them to question social structures that often go unnoticed.

Description:

Of the activities scheduled for the UAB's first Week of Culture and Human Rights and its Farmers' Market, the "Watercolour Plants" workshop will take place on 18 March at 11:00 a.m. in the Plaça Cívica. The activity offers the opportunity to experiment with painting and nature, two essential elements that combine to shape a creative community space. The workshop proposes exploring art as a tool for reflection and participation, highlighting the Plaça Cívica  as a space for meeting and cultural vitality. 

The Plaça Cívica will also be hosting the activity "La IA generativa contra el dret a l’aigua: el cas del CD de Cerdanyola", with representatives of the organisers. The session will analyse the environmental, social and ethical impacts of digital technologies, with special attention on how artificial intelligence can affect access to essential resources such as water. In the case of the Cerdanyola Management Centre, the socio-environmental conflict generated by the arrival of hyperscalar data linked to AI is studied. These facilities have a very high consumption of energy and water, with impacts on the territory, the climate and the local economy. The activity offers a space for critical and participatory reflection, promoting understanding of the global implications of technology and discussing the commitment to human rights and sustainability.
