The other workshop that is being developed is related to music.
It is a way of interpreting the sounds of the landscape and their teacher, composer and sound artist José Iges, has titled Play Blanca.
Under this premise, the artist will attempt to delve into the idiosyncrasies of Blanca from the different sounds of their natural environment and its people to form their "soundscape."
In addition, the city has benefited from the presence of James Cirujeda as a lecturer.
Cirujeda gave a talk last night which was defined as a "social architect", because his work attempts to exploit legal loopholes to benefit the community, proposing "urban recipes" or new forms of architecture.
Cirujeda, addressed in the field of urban reality, issues such as ephemeral architecture, recycling, strategies for urban intervention and occupation, the incorporation of prosthesis to buildings or public participation in decision-making processes on urban affairs.
The workshops will finish on Sunday 3 October.
