RIZOMA VOICES

Voces Rizoma will end on 25 May in Tetouan in a closing ceremony that will bring to an end more than a week of workshops and coexistence between artists from different cultures. The workshops, which have been organised by the Fundación Tres Culturas together with the Asociación de Gestores Culturales y Deportivos and the Agencia para la Promoción y Desarrollo del Norte de Marruecos, and with the collaboration of the Instituto de Bellas Artes de Tetuán and the Fundación Antonio Gala, have been aimed at the world of the plastic arts and represent a practical and interdisciplinary approach to expression and the free arts. During the closing ceremony, videos will be shown showing a sample of the activities carried out by the students during the week of artistic and cultural workshops, and there will be a visit to an exhibition in which the creations will be on display.

Some of the young creators living at the Antonio Gala Foundation have had the opportunity to enjoy this experience alongside other young creators with whom they can share and enrich each other. This is one of the fundamental pillars of the Fundación Tres Culturas, encouraging coexistence and dialogue between artists from different cultures through the diversity of the different disciplines they master.

Within the framework of this project, artistic workshops have been programmed in three cities of the region Tangier - Tetouan - Al Hoceima. These artistic and cultural workshops have involved 135 young people, about 15 participants per workshop. The themes have been:

Workshop 1: Self-publishing and fanzines.

Workshop 2: Experimental translation: possible discussions.

Workshop 3: One text: numerous texts. Literary composition of Arabic-Spanish workshop.

The main objectives of these workshops have been to awaken the artistic creativity of young people through the observation of the exchange of emotions and the techniques of artistic work; the enhancement of the culture of young people by awakening their awareness of the world (artistic and cultural) and its differences (openness to other modes of expression, discovery of artists, their way of expression through art, etc.); and the development of their social sense, team spirit, living in community (sharing and collaborating in visits, workshops and exhibitions), valuing young people for what they say and do.
