Charla en la galería con René Francisco: “Trabajar conjuntamente nos hace felices”
Artist Gallery Talk with René Francisco: “Working Together Makes Us Happy”
“Trabajar conjuntamente nos hace felices” es el título de la charla del artista cubano René Francisco Rodríguez donde compartirá su experiencia personal como artista y pedagogo. El artista ha desarrollado una metodología para la enseñanza del arte basada en la colaboración, el trabajo en equipo, usando la ciudad, el entorno, como terreno de exploración del complejo lenguaje de lo urbano, lo que permite desarrollar la capacidad de connotar, de relacionarse con la arquitectura, de hurgar en la trama social. Al primer evento-clase de trabajo docente, llevado a cabo con un grupo de alumnos del Instituto Superior de Arte (La Habana, 1990), se le dio el nombre de “Desde una Pragmática Pedagógica (DUPP)”, por el carácter netamente útil y reflexivo concedido al saber, como práctica o metáfora crítica de su carácter histórico. Este método de enseñanza tuvo varios momentos hasta el año 2012 y ha sido desarrollado en diversos contextos y universidades del mundo hasta la fecha.
“Trabajar conjuntamente nos hace felices” (“Working Together Makes Us Happy”) is the title of a talk by Cuban artist René Francisco Rodríguez, in which he will share his personal experience as both an artist and educator. He has developed a teaching methodology based on collaboration and teamwork, using the city and its surroundings as a field of exploration for the complex language of urban life. This approach fosters the ability to interpret, engage with architecture, and delve into social structures. The first event-class of this teaching practice, conducted with a group of students from the Instituto Superior de Arte (Havana, 1990), was named “Desde una Pragmática Pedagógica” (DUPP)—”From a Pedagogical Pragmatics”—highlighting its inherently practical and reflective approach to knowledge as both a practice and a critical metaphor for its historical nature. This teaching method evolved through various stages until 2012 and has since been implemented in different contexts and universities worldwide.
