Fuerza Mínima (Toni Llopis and Alejandro Seva)
Fuerza Mínima is a research project focusing its practice on exploring how craftsmanship is in a process of transformation. By crossing trade and experimentation, they analyze the coexistence of traditional techniques and knowledge with new tools, materials, and sensibilities. Their work lies at the intersection of artisanal practice, research, and its relationship with other disciplines such as science, architecture, or anthropology.
Betiana Pavó
Betiana Pavón, a transdisciplinary artist, designer, teacher, and researcher. Her practice is situated at the intersection of bio-art, digital fabrication, and living materials, developing a language where craftsmanship dialogues with innovation and environmental awareness. She explores biomaterials and organic waste as vehicles for morphological construction, opening a space for critical and poetic reflection on our relationship with nature, cycles of transformation, and possible futures.
