“DO IT YOURSELF” SCREEN-PRINTING WORKSHOP. COLLABORATION WITH THE SAN PEDRO NEIGHBOUHOOD

01 July 2023
From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Coordination:
Virginia Villar
Directorate:
Alba Vázquez e Kike Muñoz

As of last year, the CGAC has been working on a listening project in the San Pedro neighbourhood, compiling its history, traditions, local economy and witnesses to the transformation of its urban and human landscape.

Furthermore, this year both the CGAC and the San Pedro neighbourhood are marking an anniversary, which we want to celebrate jointly by offering a variety of activities. Coinciding with the beginning of the popular festivities, we have organised a screen-printing workshop, open to the general public and taught by two of San Pedro’s residents, with the aim of bringing the community together and binding contemporary art to the neighbourhood.

Screen printing is a thousand-year-old printing technique still used today in different fields, formats and craftwork. It has been widely used throughout history and can be found in purely creative processes adopted by important artists, protest and social activism banners, the decorative arts or the textile screen-printing processes so widely used today.

This workshop aims to demonstrate the technique to participants, who will create their own design to be printed on fabric.

Our design medium will be the stencil, using cut-outs. There will be a number of different designs to choose from and ink colours to create our personalised item of clothing.

Alba Vázquez (Santiago de Compostela, 1991) is an educational psychologist and cultural manager. She has been organising creative workshops for different population groups and institutions for over ten years. With a passion for art and graphic design, she discovered screen printing, among other engraving techniques, and began experimenting with them. The democratising nature of the technique is the focal point of her projects.

Kike Muñoz (Madrid, 1989) studied three years of Engraving and Graphic Design at the Real Casa de la Moneda (Royal Mint). This experience led him to embark on the co-creation of a space devoted to graphic arts applied to serial reproduction using different techniques (screen printing, chalcography engraving, analogue photography…), combining this venture with his other passion, tattooing, which he currently does professionally.

Together, Alba and Kike form the Trueno collective, which produces workshops on the screen-printing technique of a decidedly ‘do it yourself’ nature.
