Akantaros

An intercultural and transdisciplinary association dedicated to art and education.

Creative processes of a collaborative and transformative nature

A collective that carries out actions based on a laboratory methodology as a space for research, experimentation, and creation; in constant dialogue with the context and its unpredictabilities. A continuous layered drift, in which proposals and questions emerge, stretching the imagination. We aim to bring closer and share the work of Akántaros, which has been carried out since the year 2000 through constant participatory actions and community processes. We invite you to explore it and follow the initiative at both local and international levels. Join us on an inexhaustible journey.

Research

We conduct social and artistic research, constantly intertwining theory with practice. Movements from one to the other stem from an ethical and aesthetic position.

Creations

Performing arts, installations, and performances. Artistic practices allow us to resonate with collective ways of being. Spaces/times of experimentation-action-reflection, fostering ideas and languages.

Education

Workshops/laboratories/seminars/training/conferences. Transmission as a means of fostering thought, thus enabling a critical attitude. Education is a vital and permanent process, a pursuit of knowledge that entails a solid construction towards the best in humanity.

Community

Cultural expressions, diverse/shared languages, internal/collective reflections, art for coexistence, sustainable exchange relationships.

Publications

Texts, articles, books—spreading knowledge, communicating, giving.

Community Practices

Actions through juxtapositions, points of contact, tensions, and open spaces, creating social bonds and continuity in the fabric of the community.

Poetic Action

This space invites us to access various materials from anywhere on the map, where every point becomes a center.

Be Part of It

Being part of Akántaros means the possibility of generating new connections/networks.
