Cantará is a program aiming at fostering artistic project making in the city of Tarfaya through an introduction to cultural engineering and entrepreneurship as well as different art practices. It is divided into two phases: the cultural entrepreneurship bootcamp (May 2022) and the multidisciplinary artistic workshops (September 2022).
Cantará, means she/he/they will sing in Spanish stands for this program’s goal. Cantara in Arabic, meaning bridge, stands for the methodology behind the project which is about building bridges between cities, personal experiences and mediums. Through various forms of storytelling, Cantará aims at celebrating Tarfaya’s collective and personal stories.
