The exhibition, titled The Observed Observatory, is the result of a collaborative project where participants captured their unique perspective on telescopes. The initiative began after a visit to the Teide Observatory, where students explored the high-mountain landscape and the scientific facilities.
To create the 23 pieces in the collection, the artists used techniques such as algraphy, a variation of lithography that uses aluminum plates to make the discipline more accessible. The process, which took a year to complete, involved sketching and printing, with guidance from the center's educators.
“"Our mission is to train users and bring them closer to general culture, promoting their participation in artistic activities as a fundamental right."
The Giro-Arte workshop, part of the Insular Society for the Promotion of People with Disabilities (Sinpromi), has over three decades of history. Based in La Laguna, this space has evolved over time, incorporating disciplines such as photography, painting, and ceramics to meet the needs of its 24 current students.
