Other Projects

COLECTIVO LA BALALAICA
Formed by a group of creators and contemporary art enthusiasts, we aim to divulge our reflections. In conjunction with this group I have worked on the influence of contemporary art on society and I have produced some pieces along with the photographer Braulio Valderas.

IMÁGENES PROJECT
Since 2005, this group of neighbours meets each other and carries out an artistic installation along the entire street (Imágenes Street), – interventions in “relational aesthetics,” an excuse to meet and get to know each other. This project is in its eleventh year.
