PALETTES
TRUE ARTIST CONVERSATIONS
True Artist is proud to present PALETTES – True Artist Conversations, a new initiative dedicated to exploring the transformative power of Art and its intersections with other facets of life and childhood. Rooted in the belief that Art is a tool for change, this platform opens the floor to deep, meaningful conversations between parents, artists, educators, and visionaries.
ART & EDUCATION
This inaugural dialogue, created in collaboration with DadàBarcelona, examines how Art shapes childhood development, fostering creativity, sensitivity, and self-expression from an early age.
Key questions include:
- How can Art serve as a language for children to express and explore their worlds?
- What role should schools and families play in transmitting the essence of Art to the next generation?
- What ingredients are essential for a meaningful education in Art?
- What would an ideal school look like?
Speakers:
- Ester Rovira (moderator): Founder of DadàBarcelona, dedicated to Art projects for children and adolescents.
- Adriana Esperalba: Founder and Creative Director of True Artist and Bobo Choses.
- Margalida Grimalt: Actress, therapist and founder of MA Espai Educatiu, expert in experiential, child-centered education and emotional guidance.
- Júlia Mariscal: Artist and performer trained at Goldsmiths and Chelsea College of Art and Design, with an outstanding career in exhibitions and performances.
- Georgina Oliva: Director of Performing Arts at the Joan Brossa Foundation, with experience in art and education projects.
