'becoming life friendly' collective #mindmap finished!

Well, this is the final collective #mindmap in which artist Àgata Alcañiz explored how life friendly can the arts be? through the dialogue she established with the staff at the Chinese Arts Centre and other artists in residence. It was also grown by the general public who came to the residency space opening on Friday 4th and Saturday 5th of May or those who left their thoughts @lifefriendly or lifefriendly@wildmail.com


















This seems just the beginning of such reflections.. Is this really the final mind-map?! No, it isn't. This mural was constantly photographed at real time so Pascal Venier could make a digital version on the net. Check it here and keep it growing.

collective #mindmap gets digital and on the web!


Àgata Alcañiz 'becoming life friendly' collective #mindmap has been digitalised and brought to internet by Dr. Pascal Venier for everyone to continue to add thoughts on how life friendly can the arts be?

Dr. Pascal Venier is Lecturer in French and International History at the University of Salford Manchester. He is also a freelance trainer and consultant in areas of personal productivity, mind mapping and social media.

exploring the life friendly concept

For the first week, out of the two week residency, Àgata Alcañiz started a dialogue to find out how the Chinese Arts Centre, artist practices, and the art in general can be more life friendly.

The result of this research are a series of interviews in video format which capture those conversations with Nadine Andrews, who coined this concept, the staff working at the centre, and the other artists taking part of the residency.
