Espais C

espais c is a program promoted by the Consorci d’Educació de Barcelona, ​​the Institut de Cultura de Barcelona and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. The coordination and mediation of the entire program is the responsibility of the Fabra i Coats-Centre d’Art and d’Experimentem amb l’Art, with the participation of Hangar, the Fundació Antoni Tàpies and the Fundació Suñol.

The program, which is aimed at public primary schools in Barcelona, ​​is based on the link between artists and col·lectius with these. The artists develop a residence of any kind at the school, which also makes available to the creators a space where their new residence is located.

This space is open and accessible to children so that they can develop their various projects shared between the studio/workshop and the artist.

The project is fundamentally based on generating a contact zone between artists, students, teaching teams and media teams, in order to create the educational community while allowing displacements and transformations in multiple directions.
