Isabel de Naverán proposes this seminar within the framework of “The Wave in the Mind”, a project she is developing as an Associate Researcher at Azkuna Zentroa between 2021 and 2023. With the subtitle “On writing, image, gesture & body”, this seminar shares lectures, conversations and screenings over the course of a day, bringing us closer to the correspondences between de Naverán and a series of accompanying interlocutors whose work is linked to the fields of art, philosophy, architecture and dance.
“The Wave in the Mind” is the name of the research area where Isabel de Naverán works inspired by Virginia Woolf’s letter to Vita Sackville-West in 1926. In this letter, Woolf emphasises the importance of finding the right rhythm in writing, a process she compares to the movement of a silent wave which starts in high sea and slowly reaches the shore. As Woolf says, the writer’s task consists of detecting the movement of said wave as it approaches, breaks and settles in the mind. And only then can the rhythm underlying the words be recognised.
Speakers: Lorea Alfaro, Marie Bardet, Emanuele Coccia, María García Ruiz, Isabel de Naverán, & Andrea Soto Calderón.

- Lorea Alfaro is an artist who launched LA. Una marcahueca, LA (3l3a) in 2014 to create a protected environment aimed at generating image. The hallmark of her work is allowing a peaceful, naked and direct beauty to appear.
- Marie Bardet focuses on dance and philosophy. Her work and thought travel through frontiers between theory and practice, feeding on both improvisation and somatic practices, contemporary philosophy, likewise feminist and queer/cuir thoughts-practices. Within this framework, the problems travelling through bodies and politics to create common spaces of artistic multiplicity and located thought are tightened.
- Emanuele Coccia is a philosopher and associated social sciences professor at École des hautes études (Paris). His research work and writing draw a long line connecting his early research on the philosophy of imagination (at the hand of the Andalusian doctor and philosopher Averroes) to the study of plant life and the metamorphosis concept from a philosophical perspective and sensitive thought.
- María García Ruiz is an artist and researcher with an architectural background. Her projects delve into the production of territory via the articulation of hybrid narratives between image, action and writing. She is currently developing her work as a resident at Hangar (Barcelona).
- Isabel de Naverán researches the crossroads between art, contemporary choreography and performance. She is an associate researcher at Azkuna Zentroa since 2021 with the The Wave in the Mind project.
- Andrea Soto Calderón holds a PhD and her research work focuses on the transformations of aesthetic experience, study of image and the media, likewise the relationship between aesthetics and politics. She is currently working on a research project on La Virreina Centre de la Imatge (Barcelona).
