Our School is organizing, together with the Department of Arts and Conservation-Restoration of the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Barcelona, the international symposium “Art in Motion: Animation, Education, and Contemporary Practices”, which will take place on Thursday, February 19, from 8:50 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., at our campus, specifically in the Montreal Room (4th floor).
The symposium offers a space for reflection on the graphic and audiovisual moving image within the field of cultural and educational production, focusing on artistic, educational, and research projects that explore contemporary practices such as animation, the audiovisual documentation of performance, and expanded painting.
