Artist Raquel Sakristán and producer Rafael Agudo, Startti group home, December 2017: Studies on the language of fans and material experimentation
If a common language does not exist, one can be created through art! The visit by the Spanish artist Raquel Sakristán and producer Rafael Agudo to the Startti group home began with a search for a common language by using Spanish fans. Raquel demonstrated the Spanish language of fans and the residents of Startti were provided the opportunity to create their own expressions, while Raquel learned some Finnish. The work continued with painting and material experimentation, leading to the creation of works resembling dream catchers. Raquel took the works out into the nature to be photographed. Seeing the works in another environment stimulated the work even further. The pictures and videos were compiled to create a small exhibition. During the residence period, Raquel observed the individual style and strengths of each participant to consider possibilities for developing their personal expression.
