The workshop focuses on the perception / appreciation of the body as territory, not only of inscription, but above all of production and in_corporation of what constitutes the action of being in the world. Inspired by the concept of geographic space, as an extension in which relations of all kinds - social, political, environmental, economic, etc. - materialize. - the proposed activities have a provocative meaning, seeking in the acceptance of risk to trigger a kind of "internal journey". The body-territory is summoned to a less domesticated experimentation of everyday existence as a way of triggering / producing creative processes. [This proposal is an achievement in partnership with Nau Interativa]

The course presents jewellery as an expanded territory and in dialogue with contemporary multiplicity. It works with jewel´s symbolic concepts - body, power, affection - discussing and deepening its senses, deploying them in practical experiences of production. The role and presence of the body in arts and jewellery fields will be addressed, as well as jewels as objects of power and affection. The methodology covers dialogued classes, exercises and analysis of results, so that the conceptual issues are investigated in dialogue with practical activities. The aim is to stimulate sensitivity and creativity, directing them to the development of individual expression through body objects.

Organization of a Workshop with Portuguese artist-jeweler Cristina Filipe.


The workshop starts from the assumption of taking the body as language and Instrument. It is about considering a body that is simultaneously: project, material, performer. Thus the objective is to start from the awareness of the (own) body as an instrument and work support. The body will serve as a platform for experimentation and for contact with various forms of interpretation and aspects a jewel can take. In this sense, the conception of the ornament will pass through its understanding as something that is for the body, which is in the body and is related in some way to it, whether from a conceptual or formal point of view

Organização de  Workshop com a artista-joalheira brasileira radicada na Inglaterra, Dionea Rocha-Watt.

The purpose of the workshop is to examine the relationships between loss, absence and materiality, exploring relationships between senses, objects, matter and the affective memory they provoke. By means of exercises centered on tracing processes or leaving traces or residues (paint, charcoal, wax, photography, plaster, etc.), the students found the best way to present the result of that experience in the desired language, thus working in border regions. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of questioning, as well as experimentation with materials as a way of valuing the sensitive aspect of the process and the work. Instead of concentrating on the elaboration of pieces that fit pre-defined concepts or themes, the methodology adopted is oriented so that the concept of the work emerges from the process, as a gesture emerges from the body; will be impregnated in the work and not revealed in advance.

The purpose of the course is to discuss design fundamentals and design methodologies, considering the diversity and scope of the field in the face of new pedagogical demands in its multi and transdisciplinary aspects. Its target audience is composed of lecturers of Senac-SP design courses in several specialties: fashion, product, graphic, digital. As a methodological strategy will be proposed programmed activities, practical exercises, readings and debates that deal with the thematic axes dynamically and inserted in the context of the group. Four aspects will be addressed:

          - Design as a multidisciplinary field of knowledge

          - The Human and the Social Scenario

          - Methodologies: transformations and strategies of teaching

          - Project as product definition x project as situation-problem / opportunity.

The methodology includes dialogued classes, exercises and analysis of results, so that conceptual issues are investigated in line with practical activities. The objective is to stimulate sensitivity and creativity, directing them to the development of individual expression, manifests in bodily objects.
