On September 1, a group of mothers from the Hogar de Nazareth educational institution, a beneficiary of the Interactions with Digital Games for Education outreach project, visited the Faculty of Art, Design, and Audiovisual Communication (FADCOM), where they participated in various artistic, academic, and community activities.
During the event, they toured the immersive exhibition DESintegrar el olvido (Disintegrating Oblivion), developed as a project for the Master's Degree in Art and Technology based on a review of the issues addressed in the faculty's outreach projects. In this exhibition, the mothers of the Hogar de Nazareth contributed their own audio stories, enriching the experience with their memories and voices. Books donated by FADCOM students were also delivered as part of the Illustration Workshop led by professor Mónica Robles, strengthening the ties of cooperation between the faculty and the educational community.
The visit finished with a fun workshop based on a board game created by FADCOM students as part of the research project Art, Technology, and Social Intervention in Gender Issues, led by professor Lidia Navas. During the activity, participants shared experiences, reflected, and empathized with the stories told in the game.
The space also helped create an atmosphere of trust and enjoyment, breaking socially imposed taboos surrounding sexuality. Through these activities, FADCOM reaffirms its commitment to research, artistic creation, and engagement with society, creating spaces for dialogue and shared learning that strengthen the relationship between the university and the community.
