Stories in motion
In the forest
I listen and draw

This installation invites you to look for and find literary characters such as Goldilocks, The Three Little Pigs or The Wolf and the Seven Goats illustrated by Miguel Bustos. The installation is accompanied by a selection of books where the forest is an essential part of the story.

This is a game about listening and illustrating from a book. Two people play, both sit on stools facing each other. One opens a book and chooses a page, whichever they prefer, the other one gets a notebook ready on their lap, chooses which color to draw with and waits. The person with the book explains to their partner, with as much detail as possible, the illustration they have chosen. Once they have finished, they compare the original illustration with the drawing they made.

 

This is an installation of 50 illustrated albums through which you can build new stories. We invite the participants to choose a book (because it is big or little, orange or black and white, it doesn't matter) and once they have one they like, they choose a page that will be the beginning of the new narrative that they will create themselves.

Tales, stories, legends or fables are the protagonists of this literary experience of 5 shadow puppet theaters. Enjoy these little scenes where you can play and experiment, decide whether to explain what is happening, just listen or even do both.

Based on the well-known children's game , two people sit opposite one another, each with the same book on their laps. One picks a page from the book and begins giving clues to the other player through I spy. The second player should then search for the same page based on the clues that are shared.

Together we create a collaborative artwork using the technique of the Surrealist movement in the game exquisite corpse . A long roll of paper is laid out and everyone draws a head "like a giant", then we all shift one spot over and draw a "stomach like a dragon" until a whole lot of creatures are created based on the prompts of fairytale characters .
