Let's knead clay! is a space for creation and connection where clay becomes a tool for artistic exploration and well-being. Through bodywork and modeling, we offer a sensorial experience to slow down, ground yourself, and shape from your feelings. Let's knead clay! is an expression that invites you to let go of what bothers you. We take it with irony and turn it on its head: we propose sending all the noise that distances you from what's important into the clay and returning to the body, to the raw material. It combines physical proposals, listening exercises, and references to artists who have made clay a radical, intuitive, and profoundly human language. We don't come here to make pieces, but to listen to what the body says when our hands are filled with earth. We are inspired by contemporary art education, which understands knowledge as a living, physical, and shared process, because we only truly learn what passes through the body. Clay—primitive, malleable, and living—reconnects us with intuition, creativity, and care. Clay that is cared for, cares in return. Working with it transforms matter... and us too. Let's knead clay! is open to anyone eager to explore. No previous experience is required.

The intergenerational theater workshop consists of creating a safe and free space where older adults connect through performing arts with neighborhood children and young people associated with an educational center. It is a project with a three-fold objective: to open the school to the neighborhood, connecting older adults and students who share the same area; to enable older adults to work on their memory and share their experiences with students through recreational and creative activities; and to promote physical exercise and creative expression through the movement of older adults.

This activity proposes an intergenerational space for encounter and collective creation through embroidery, with the aim of generating a shared manifesto around care and its multiple articulations. For two hours, participants will be invited to reflect on the affective, political, and social dimensions of caregiving while embroidering phrases, words, or symbols that emerge from the shared dialogue. Embroidery will be understood not only as a technique, but as a sensitive practice that fosters listening, situated thinking, and the building of connections. Throughout the event, short texts and excerpts from contemporary authors who have reflected on caregiving from feminist, community, and poetic perspectives will be shared. These materials will act as triggers for conversations, the exchange of experiences, and, in turn, a shared narrative that will be captured on a large canvas. The activity aims to open a sustained space for horizontal co-creation in which craftsmanship combines with critical and affective thinking. The result will be an embroidered manifesto that captures the voices and sensibilities of all the participants, as a testament to a shared reflection on how we inhabit—and want to inhabit—caregiving. Organized by: Colectivo Corso
