Workshop to build new disruptive models to share realities with others
Planetary Atoll

About the event
"In this workshop, participants will learn a speculative approach to build new disruptive models to share realities with others through 3 parts. We will start with a bank of symbols that will make us reflect on different perspectives according to social, political and cultural contexts; these symbols will be abstracted from the pieces of the artists presented in the exhibition. In the second part there will be a display of scenarios that will lead us to design possible futures of coexistence. And in the third part, the participants will create a fanzine/manifesto with the practices of the future that will bring us closer to new collectivities of thought and coexistence." — Leslie García

She has also developed educational curatorships in different cultural sectors such as art foundations, educational and academic organizations and is currently coordinating a department on learning experiences of the future at the Tecmilenio University, using various methodologies of disruptive pedagogy that lead to thinking about other ways of approaching knowledge and the development of future models on disruptive education in formal environments.
