/ecm masterlehrgangThis title is an onomatopoeia,
a graphic word which sound intends to imitate the real world and was composed to illustrate this talk. In this /ecm-discourse
Matilde Seabra shares how her practice has been developed through the expanded field of architecture. From, the creation,
in 2010, of an independent company called talkie-walkie dedicated to share knowledges in place, to the implementation of an
educational project called ping! immersed on a municipal gallery focusing on contemporary art. We are we in this in-between
called mediation? Do we need to decide to be in one of the sides? When we are mapping on art-education, who are left behind
or not represented?
