Vanesa Cejudo. [Madrid, 1975]. I am sociology and PhD in Arts. I have been a mediator, teacher and supervisor of programs of educational and artistic self-management in countries such as Senegal, Angola, Venezuela and Guatemala through various AECID scholarships. My practice is based on a strategy that articulates the education as the core of personal and main development engine of social change. I complement my studies around three lines: Education (worked as a teacher at UPSAM, and I created together with EXPRIMENTO LIMON`s platform workshops approaching to art and creativity for all public); New Technologies, after the Master of Society of Information at UPSAM, I see technology as a backbone of active approaches to social transformation and visual culture. And a third line is my commitment to the Contemporary Creation, for it reconciles my activity of artistic mediation in PENSART , also working into MAV (Visual Artist Women) Currently I live in London and collaborates as a member of PENSART with Brit-Es magazine (British – Spanish Magazine). es.linkedin.com/in/vanesacejudo/
