"We are not merely spectators of this spectacle, but we ourselves are part of it, on stage with the other participants." (Kevin Lynch, 1960)
This microcredencial is aimed at people from various fields, from formal education-such as primary school teachers or secondary education faculty-to artists, architects, geographers, and anyone interested in artistic creation and critical thinking. People who wish to approach artistic practice through disciplines such as psychogeography, architecture, walking, and dérives...
Taking the Bellaterra Campus of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona as a starting point, we propose an exploration of its peripheral landscapes, emphasizing a critical and personal perspective that seeks to understand and feel these tense, diverse, and borderline landscapes where the urban and rural blend and challenge each other. How do territories affect us? How do we perceive them? How do we explain them?
Through two artistic dérives guided by the coordinators of the microcredencial, artists Clara Nubiola and Laia Noal, we will explore the peripheral landscapes of the Bellaterra Campus. Each will lead a session, contributing her own perspective and practice related to landscape and territory, allowing us to approach the environment from diverse and complementary angles.
Urban, rural, dérive, boundaries, landscape frictions, and urban fabrics will be some of the elements that help us create a collective narrative about our physical and emotional relationship with the environments we inhabit. A narrative that, taking situated knowledge as an academic stance and support for artistic practice, will materialize in a collectively conceived and built exhibition.
Faced with a contemporary conception of territory that increasingly disconnects us physically and emotionally from our surroundings, we propose an Evaluation that approaches our closest landscapes and territories in a critical yet poetic way, through a lived experience that allows us to feel, traverse, and inhabit them using walking as an artistic practice.
Based on a review of references that have worked on themes related to the narrative of territory, landscape, and nature through art, we aim to develop tools that, from artistic practice, allow us to approach divergent thinking and critical perspective as pedagogical tools that can generate new ways of connecting with nature.
The microcredencial is conceived as a lived learning experience based on practical proposals that allow these concepts to be worked on and brought closer to pedagogical practice. We believe it is necessary to link education with artistic practice to open new perspectives that enable creative thinking and highlight the transversal nature of knowledge.
We propose to develop the work in three phases: a first phase dedicated to reviewing references, a second focused on exploring the territory through walking practice, and a final one devoted to creating a collective exhibition based on the walks.
"When you surrender to places, they return you to yourself; the more you know them, the more you seed them with the invisible cultivation of memories and associations that will await you when you return, while new places offer new thoughts, new possibilities. Exploring the world is one of the best ways of exploring the mind, and walking traverses both terrains." (Wanderlust, Rebecca Solnit)
In-person dates: weekends of February 78 and 2122, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with instructional lunch.
