Three Worlds: Science Fiction and Contemporary Art Workshop

More than a literary genre, science fiction is a laboratory for thought experiments. His imagination becomes an incredibly wide field, where contemporary art has found a place for creation. This workshop given by CROMA seeks to display visions of science fiction through contemporary art, where materiality, image, abstraction, relationships and politics lead science fiction to unexpected places. - CHROMA
