Protien Shake No Carbs
The Mural Workshop works at the Cultural Center The Conventillo. Its creation arose from an activity designed in conjunction with the area "Art and Society" CIDAC (Center for Innovation and Development Community Activity), an organization of university extension of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters at the UBA. The idea was to form a space for artistic creation and reflection about the mural facing the district.
The workshop began to settle in October 2010 under certain discussions: what it means to make a mural, which is the historical development of the mural in Argentina, which occupies space in the history of art, what is the real sense which appears today in our national identity. In other words, the heart of our inquiry was the need felt by multiplying the cultural tools in the territory and carry out the capacity to transform structures from art.
Since the beginning, they considered the possibility of doing a mural in Barracks Kirchner as an expression referred to the current national and popular movement is visible where the resurgence of the value of politics and youth activism. Unfortunately, six months ago, on November 27, 2010, died Nestor Kirchner. But, beyond the immense pain, mobilization, and the desire to do not leave us no choice but to give a new meaning all currently thought.
From this single event that affected all the people of country, began working for months on designing the mural, already planning a tribute to her figure. The challenge was enormous: the mural was to be held in a wall of 15 meters by 4 meters. Each contributed from their knowledge that could: some starting from the technical, others from a plastic forming, and others from the political conception of the work.
When we think about the date of the mural, the project was extended to all colleagues who were involved Conventillo lecturing fellowship. Thanks to them also made possible the completion of the mural, helping with the removal of scaffolding and materials those who dared to paint, priming mate prudent, with photos and film recording, broadcasting, going to radio, talking to people. Simply put, all these activities were important elements that make a common project and a shared dream.
