CONJUNTOS is a project that seeks to promote interdisciplinarity in higher education by fostering spaces for encounter and dialogue among different fields of knowledge. University education has traditionally been organized around disciplines that are too compartmentalized. This project stems from the need for models of pedagogical innovation that foster synergies between disciplines, social inclusion, and the interconnection of artistic and scientific communities.
The project is supported by the Daniel and Nina Carasso Foundation through the call for proposals titled “Combining Knowledge to Understand Contemporary Challenges,” which aims to promote artistic education and research in non-arts-related university programs and colleges.
It consists of three initiatives: Dispares, Omnívoros, and Variaciones.
dispares
An artistic practice laboratory where students from artistic and scientific disciplines collaborate on specific projects, with the participation of creators from various fields
Omnívoros
Interdisciplinary working groups in which students will have the opportunity to propose and develop collaborative projects that blend art and technology
variaciones
An open forum for discussion in which experts from various disciplines and fields address issues related to the project’s theme
