1, 2 y 3 October 2012
Auditorium Fundación Proa

The Picasso Museum from Málaga, Fundación Cisneros and Fundación Proa present the International Seminar ¨Art and Social Integration II¨, with the objective of continuing and deepening the critical spirit of the first edition held in the Picasso Museum in September 2011.
This edition takes place on 1, 2 and 3 October in the Auditorium of Fundación Proa. This time, the proposal is enriched by incorporating “EN RED“,  A one day conference of linkage and projects consultancy, on October 4, an optional day dedicated to the analysis and evaluation of projects, in collaboration with Fundación TyPA.

A unique opportunity to share and reflect with distinguished artists, researchers, educators and cultural managers from the top international institutions about the connection between artistic practices and the communites in Europe, USA and South America.

The seminar brings the debate to the complex territory where theory and practice meet, discussing and nourishing each other, creating a space of infinite creativity. Governments, institutions and artists rethink concepts, generating methodological tools and designing art projects that reflect and respond to issues in today’s world: life in the big cities and their peripheries, economic crises, migration, cultural diversity, the dissolution of established social bonds and the search for a sustainable world.

The contributions of constructivist theories of education, Urban pedagogy, Education through Art and the civil rights enrich the analysis from an interdisciplinary perspective. While, original projects designed for specific contexts challenge this concepts from the practice field.
