The IES Jorge Juan de Alicante is the invited educational center for the 2020-2021 academic year. In this 6th edition of Menuts Veïns, Alicante-based artist Aurelio Ayela has joined the project, with the aim of combining contemporary artistic creation and education as an instrument of expression, understanding and reflection on contemporary human problems.
Looking at Juana Francés' work through the eyes of IES Jorge Juan students with the accompaniment of artist Aurelio Ayela. Bringing it into contemporary perspective from multiple approaches: from philosophy, from history, from literature or visual arts. Once again, Menuts Veïns becomes a project for approaching contemporary art in a transversal way. With the languages of new generations: connecting the spirit and denunciation of individual loneliness, the commodification of human beings, miscommunication in a technologically constructed world that Juana Francés questions, students and teachers have delved into how art surprises, awakens, reveals and transforms the society it represents.
