Every Thursday 5 practitioners from La Casa Encendida have been offered a work space in the sculpture department of the University of Fine Arts in Madrid. Here they work on benches side by side with the university students carrying out their own projects. For me it was an eye opener to see how the people with disabilities were a natural part of the university environment, having their own working spaces and relating to the students as they were fellow students. Luiz, the coordinator of the group from Debajo del Sombrero told me that one of the reasons why they were invited to work at the university was to emphasize the universal aspect of art practice and include the artistic expressions of the work by people with disabilities. Talent can be found anywhere.
