Description
Understanding the city as a space of coexistence implies an ethical and aesthetic positioning and means changing the established dynamics. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development calls for quality education in which students acquire the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to face today's challenges. The project Art with the Environment: Living and Learning carried out with students of the Bachelor's Degree in Primary Education aims to bring students closer to the SDG objectives and promotes learning outside the classroom through Environmental Art and the practice of artistic strategies. The aim is to promote an art education for future teachers that offers them multiple ways to connect art with life.
CV
Cristina Trigo Martínez is collaborating teacher in Art Education; Faculty of Education Sciences (University of Santiago de Compostela) and a member of the research group LITER21. I'm interested in the spaces of intersection between education; contemporary art, environment and museum and the possibilities of linking these areas. Previously (1998-2014) I was an educator and coordinator of the Educational Department at the Galician Center of Contemporary Art (CGAC; Santiago de Compostela). I am also part of the C3 collective made up of educators, researchers and artists that works as a cell that expands proposals for artistic action.
