This course proposes to revisit the essential events and characters that have operated, from the first twenty years of the twentieth century to the first twenty years of the twenty-first century, as hubs for the construction of fashion and lifestyle trends from the modernity of the avant-garde to the cultural contemporaneity of hip-hop.

When the 21st century had yet to become definitively anomalous, cinema was already incubating the germ of an indefinable strangeness in its altered narratives.

Debido á gran demanda e despois dun tempo marcado pola distancia, o programa Arte na aula retoma a formación presencial cun curso que xa se impartiu en liña en 2021: Os artistas contemporáneos como punto de partida de propostas didácticas.

Each new edition of the course Intrahistory of Architecture aims to provide us with a better insight into architecture and its spin-offs from a different perspective.

The course content covers the period between the beginning of the twentieth century and the outbreak of World War II, which caused the first major breach in the paths of culture and art. A period, known as the historical avant-garde, that emerged in different points in Europe and that heralded one of the most creative times in history.

This monographic course offers a reflection on the transversality between two artistic disciplines, fashion and painting, through the work of a series of artists we have called ‘fashion evangelists.’ We specifically refer to four female artists who breathed new life into art and knew how to break with the established canons, both in their biographies as well as in their dress, all from the perspective of contemporary vanguardism.

Utopia is usually thought of as a chimera, an impossible projection from a dark present to a better, yet also unreachable, future time.

Contemporary art has entered the classrooms as a mainstay of learning, but commonly it’s through the work of artists like Picasso, Miró, Van Gogh or Kandinsky. Figures that are important, without a doubt, but also far removed from our time, failing to address certain cross-cutting topics present in the field of education, such as a connection with everyday life, equality or sustainability.

In this third course on the intrahistory of architecture, we will approach new subjects and we will further explore others already covered in previous editions. Using architecture as the cornerstone, we will embark on a transdisciplinary approach to art, culture, politics, history, crafts, economy, aesthetics and education.
