Shilpa Gupta, in collaboration with Renata Cervetto, will lead a workshop at Fundación Botín, from March 11 to 16, 2024, under the title The Ground Slips Between Us.

The Ground Slips Between Us is a workshop that encourages the sharing of practices and experiences in art and education based on the work of the artist Shilpa Gupta. The workshop invites artists, curators, cultural agents and mediators working within institutions or community projects to rethink their current processes and challenges based on the themes and methodologies that traverse the artist’s work. Topics such as strategies of creative resilience in the face of censorship and repression; the ideological and geopolitical barriers that cross our bodies and systems of thought-action-mobility; and imagination and radical listening as tools of resistance and community building will be exercised by contemplating the working contexts of the people participating in the workshop.

The dynamics will be accompanied by group activities and organized visits to other cultural and artistic centres in Santander and its surroundings.

The workshop is linked to the exhibition I Live Under Your Sky Too that will be shown at Centro Botín, from March 23 to September 8, 2024, a presentation of Gupta’s work in which the voice and poetry will flood the exhibition hall claiming the existence of those people who have been muted, and blurring the boundaries that limit movement.

This workshop is conceived as an open space for reflection and exchange of strategies and methodologies in artistic and educational contexts. During the sessions organized by Shilpa Gupta and Renatta Cervetto you will have the opportunity to share experiences with a group of artists, curators, cultural agents and mediators, and generate new formats for mediation based on Shilpa Gupta’s work.
