Abstract

The study is based on the shared story and visual-textual reflection on an experience carried out at the Condeduque Center for Contemporary Culture in Madrid with family groups belonging to the Chinese community of this city. Its celebration was possible at the invitation of Xirou Xiao, cultural mediator and director of Tian Ma Xing Kong, a project designed to weave networks with neighbourhood organisations in the immediate environment and to carry out a contextualised artistic mediation in a socio-cultural institution that favours community actions in its programme. The objective is to narrate and signify an experience of artistic and intercultural mediation from the participation of mixed families (Chinese Spanish) and the collaboration of university students of Social Education. It was conceived as a community art action framed in the original proposal of the Installations for play, a playful context and intersubjective space of relationship configured with specific objects offered in a transformable space inspired by the aesthetics of contemporary art. The account of the event and the following research proposal are presented through documentation constructed through image-word narratives that recognize and give meaning to the symbolic and relational actions that took place in the encounter as a manifestation that generates metaphors of life with others.
