• description: <p data-start="110" data-end="584">This project proposes a <strong data-start="134" data-end="174">symbolic and functional displacement</strong> between two educational institutions located just a three-minute walk apart, yet differentiated by <strong data-start="273" data-end="304">contrasting learning logics</strong>. For one week, the <strong data-start="324" data-end="353">Centre d’Art Santa Mònica</strong> becomes the <strong data-start="366" data-end="376">school</strong> for a group of sixth-grade children. At the same time, the <strong data-start="436" data-end="456">Escola Drassanes</strong>, a formal educational institution, transforms into part of the art center, hosting the work of artists within its classrooms.</p> <p data-start="586" data-end="833">In Catalan, <em data-start="598" data-end="608">sojornar</em> means <strong data-start="615" data-end="669">"to stay in a place for a certain period of time,"</strong> a word that evokes this <strong data-start="694" data-end="732">temporary and transitory situation</strong> where the usual roles and functions of each institution are blurred, opening up new possibilities. This exchange is not just a change of location but an <strong data-start="889" data-end="949">experiment on the boundaries of institutional frameworks</strong>, <strong data-start="951" data-end="972">poetically signed</strong> with a simple yet meaningful gesture: the <strong data-start="1015" data-end="1042">exchange of the plaques</strong> that identify each institution, symbolically transferring their identities from one space to the other.</p>
