Cultural Promotion Program (Patronage) for the "Festival Voraz" project

In 2017, the first opportunity arose to bring the Project’s vision into a physical space.

We created *Voraz*, a multidisciplinary festival aimed at connecting artists from different practices, allowing them to share their work processes with an active participating audience.

With *Voraz*, we were able to focus on processes as a necessary stage of experimentation, on creation as a constant exercise, and on mistakes as formative elements in the development of projects.

With the goal of promoting horizontal learning spaces, we placed interested participants and attendees at the center of the action, offering a schedule of diverse activities that provided knowledge to put into practice throughout the event, enabling collaborative creation among those present.

Isa Crosta - Educational Team at Club Cultural Matienzo

Conceived as a living entity, the first edition (CCM, 2017) used the senses as a focal point to shape workshop proposals and explore their possible intersections. Together with the educational team at Club Cultural Matienzo, we designed two workshops on design and technology (Rudo Company and BlipBlop), as well as an open zine-editing table (365 Mujeres Ilustradas). The schedule also included open activities linked to music (with a live band, Ruidas), body art (featuring three artists at a tattoo flash day), and visual arts, with a group exhibition of seven emerging artists and projections (Jo Murúa, Florencia Pernicone, Ivana Boullon, Paula Sosa Holt, Juan Manuel Puerto, Juan Vegetal, and Francisco Negrello).

To conclude the five-day festival, we hosted a printed art fair with an open zine library.
