Activity of the programme BAG ACTIONS (2nd Edition)

The Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Granada is part of an international art project developed with Masaryk University in Brno (Czech Republic) and the University of the Arts in Poznań (Poland). The project, named «CORRESPONDENCE: DIALOGUES AND CREATIONS», involves an exchange of pedagogical and practical experiences in relation to both artistic and scientific fields. It aims to generate an exchange of electronic correspondence between students and teachers from the involved universities to discuss a number of issues portraying cultural and social differences in the world. These debates allow them to exchange understandings that become more concrete with the creation of artistic pieces in various workshops developed at the universities of the participating countries.

The first Correspondence meeting took place in Cuenca, Spain, in 2014, «CORRESPONDENCE 2: DIALOGUES AND CREATIONS» took place in Poznań, Poland, in 2017, and «CORRESPONDENCE 3: COLOUR, CULTURE, CODE» took place in Brno, Czech Republic, in 2018.

The meetings involve a teaching staff mobility that brings together teaching methodologies that benefit students in both the host country and the participating countries. During the three months prior to the meeting, an electronic exchange is encouraged to generate debates among the participating students, facilitated by the teachers/coordinators of each country, around one of the reflection themes set out in the project. The event also encourages the development of a workshop in each participating country, where the students, coordinated by the teachers, materialise their thoughts on the debates through artistic works.

Finally, an international exhibition will be held in a gallery in the country where the workshop takes place, displaying the pieces resulting from this meeting. A catalogue is also published on the exhibition held in each country.
