One more year we collaborated in the Summer University course of the UdL "Art and territory".

Art and territory is a face-to-face course to enhance creativity through artistic practice. It is a collaborative learning space to share and enjoy artistic experiences in a rural context. The workshops are open to all people over 18 years of age and it is not necessary to have previous knowledge or artistic skills or a university degree.

[EN]White is the theme of this tenth edition of the summer course. The most concrete and close whites, especially those of the fog, the angel bread of the Agramunt nougat and the flour of the cereal grown in our landscape, apart from other more abstract whites, are those that are approached from different techniques and areas: humid and dry white on black, gastronomy, food design, sculptural installation, origami, kirigami and writing.

Haiku is an oriental poetic genre that is characterized by brevity and contemplative poetry. After presenting their formal characteristics, we do a collective reading of haikus. Next, the participants are invited to relax, be silent and connect with themselves and the environment to find creative inspiration and put some poetic motif that will allow them to write one or more haikus for each one. The session ends with the collective reading of the prepared haikus.
