This microcredential is aimed at people in the field of formal education, such as primary school teachers or secondary education faculty, artists, and also anyone who, at different moments in life, is interested in artistic creation and in learning about artistic and cultural heritage. It is for individuals who wish to approach environmental awareness and live mindfully with natureof which we are a partthrough research and artistic creation.
Situated in a natural setting, we activate introspective explorations, engage in active recognition of the landscape, and approach theoretical knowledge to ultimately move toward the formalization of an artist's book.
This course, in the form of a microcredential, is presented as a creative laboratory where nature is the workshop, using art as a tool to foster environmental awareness and work on various Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), such as inclusive education (SDG 4), gender equality (SDG 5), reduction of inequalities (SDG 10), climate action (SDG 13), and biodiversity protection (SDG 15); all while recognizing that we are an integral part of nature, and promoting active, collective, and creative methodologies that connect us with the planet and inspire sustainable practices through education and art.
The proposal is structured around three axes, which correspond, in essence, to the cycle of a seed: nourish, germinate, and disseminate.
The first phase, called nourish, is developed within a research-action framework. Participants approach nature through their sensory memory and body, allowing themselves to feel-think nature. This initial process involves collecting samples from the lived environment and creating a sensory archive.
The second phase, called germinate, involves a theoretical approach through readings and viewings focused on concepts such as inhabitants, habitat, biosphere, and the relationships between nature and cultureessential for developing biodiverse awareness. Additionally, we will explore the artist's book. Based on this theoretical and research work, participants will construct or identify micro-narratives around these concepts and conceive art as a tool for critical thinking.
The third phase, called disseminate, builds on the sensory archive created in the first phase and the micro-narratives or definitions developed in the second phase. It is a creative phase, during which we acquire resources to project critical thinking through art, ultimately generating a practice centered on the creation of an artist's book related to the explored themes.
The microcredential is framed within our current reality, recognizing that as a species, we inhabit planet Earth by building coexistence structures centered on the individual, rather than as part of a planet where humanity coexists with other animal and plant species. We feel-think that, both locally and globally, we face a reality where individual and governmental action is vital. Therefore, the Laboratory, through research actions and artistic practices, aims to encourage participants to foster individual and collective actions through active observation of nature, to embrace multi-species awareness, and to generate counter-narratives that bring us closer to planetary consciousness.
The training will take place over two weekends, with a total of 30 in-person hours each weekend, and the remaining hours will be autonomous work and virtual tutoring (120 hours).
