"There's no authority but yourself" Gee Vaucher - POST 6


                       Today I will talk about an artist who meant an awakening to me in art.

 She is  Gee Vaucher, an artist and ex - former member of the anarcopunk band "Crass", dedicated herself to making most of their posters and album covers defining the aesthetic and social image of the punk protest of the 70's through his works of photo montage, collage and paintings with surreal technique.

Her artistic work is political and subversive, with an anarchist and feminist thought that is still valid in his art until now, his works constantly seek a social criticism with a conscience against all minorities.

Her works have a sensitivity worthy of admiration, in addition to her multiple talents in the artistic and musical field, she is a writer where she has shown her empathy for animals.

Gee Vaucher is for me an admirable artist, since she has a constant questioning around her, and seeks to make a collaborative and social art, not only for her own enjoyment but also to make a more momentous change.

the benefit of living in community - BLOG 7

  When I decided to study art, one of my main doubts was how it would be possible to carry out the social work that I think is essential in all areas.   Immediately I could understand that in my opinion it is the kindest area when generating these collaborative spaces that involve the community, although there are many paths in art, which in the mostly   the artists are the protagonists. In my creative process I hope to be able to integrate myself into community spaces, where I can deliver and be part of a collective to contribute to the community an everyone who is part. I sincerely believe that art contemplates all areas and has a language that is available to everyone, dynamic, horizontal and friendly, which can be use to create social awareness, report bad practices, make visible actions and stories and most importantly, create union and resistance in the population. For this reason, I believe that art is essential to make important changes in the world, which t...

Silvio Rodriguez's Concert - POST 2 (Inglés IV)

Imagen
Well, my concert's experience are very limitate because it is very expensive in our country (like everything), but the concert that I remember with more affection and joy it’s Silvio Rodriguez concert in october 2018. It was held in Movistar arena and I went with my dad for his 56 birthday, he’s our favorite artist so I gave him one ticket for the concert. It was a very special day to me because it was the first time I saw Silvio Rodriguez live and it was with my dad so it was a very exciting day for both of us. My dad and I share a lot of common tastes, he teach me to always have social conscience   and never forget our family history and were I come from   so that’s why Silvio Rodriguez is a very important artist for us. He’s able to transmit the injustices of the world with a lot of serenity and beautiful songs. Silvio Rodriguez transports you to the streets of La Habana with his songs, a place that me and my dad love   deeply.

The world of textiles - BLOG 8

Imagen
  During the pandemic it has been difficult for me to have a favorite subject, because   the difficulty of taking art classes and its particularity of being a more face-to-face and technical career. But the subject that I liked the most and that has managed to interest me, and I can carry out a complete investigation that in turn has been very motivating for me is the complementary textile workshop. In classes we have seen the many ways to fabrics   dye   with natural and artificial elements, from knowing their components to carrying out your own experimentation. It has been very interesting and at the same time a very simple practice to do at home, without expensive materials and is a   very friendly techniques for the environment. Then we begin with the lacing processes, when they explain how to braid with different techniques. I really enjoy this subject, it also involves millenary practices, where you can freely experiment and also get involved with th...
