A cry is instinctive and urgent, it is born inside and manifests itself outside. It stirs particles, awakens consciousness and sometimes changes realities. The cry urges to express what cannot be said otherwise. In the silence of an image, a scream.
Grito imagen (2016) by Teresa Santos produces artistic projects from a transdisciplinary perspective.
