As part of CIICATI 2026, participants from various universities took part in the Art and Innovation Course, a hands-on workshop led by Alla Kondratova at ESPOL’s School of Art, Design, and Audiovisual Communication (FADCOM). The workshop took place from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in Room A004 of the faculty and focused on the sgraffito technique, an artistic process that involves working on layers of material to reveal shapes, lines, and compositions by scraping the surface.
During the workshop, attendees experimented with this technique and explored its expressive possibilities through hands-on practice, in a space that brought together participants from various institutions of higher education attending the conference. The workshop introduced participants to new processes of artistic creation and experimentation, integrating art and innovation into the exchange and learning experiences of CIICATI 2026.
