Fragments

The circles of time

It is about creating the shape of a jar, on the floor of the space assigned, with plates of paper or cardboard previously decorated with collage by the participants of the workshop. This jar will be arranged at the centre of the space and between the columns that make up the hexagon.

The tables and chairs, to be able to work comfortably, will be placed between the columns and around the hexagon.

This work aims to symbolize the passage of the different cultures that have come to us in the form of fragments, showing us the life of the villages of antiquity until today.

There will be 4 themes to work on for the collages: hands, fish, birds and houses. Each one will freely develop one of these topics, and each topic will be placed in a specific area of the jar marked by an outline. The different outlines (4) will symbolize a broken or fragmented jar, alluding to memory, history and to the collage.

Once the jar is full of dishes, and if there is more participation, the following dishes can be placed on the previous ones, and in this way the work takes on an archaeological dimension due to the different layers which end up being formed.

Admission to the Museum free of charge throughout the day.
