Through conversations with artists from the Region, ‘A garden to illustrate it’ provides the answer
After seeing ‘Un país para escucharlo’, the new RTVE format in which Ariel Rot toured the Spanish geography to chat with the most representative bands of each territory, the idea was born: ‘A garden to listen to’. In 2020, Teresa Camino, accompanied by Marcelo Criminal and along with other protagonists, made an attempt through a documentary to discover if there really was a Murcian sound and a real emerging scene. This became the pilot chapter of the “A garden for” series, which begins with “A garden to illustrate it.”
Teresa Camino, accompanied by Alba Molina, resumes this project with a documentary series that will be presented on Friday, January 27 – and will soon be available on Oculto.tv – where, through relaxed conversations in very characteristic enclaves of Murcia, different artists talk about the regional creative scene. They have also worked on the project with Fabio Martín as a cinematographer, Paula Navarro in the art direction and Daniel Sáez in the edition.
According to the creators, “Murcian design has carved out an important niche for itself in Spain, countering the dominance of capitals such as Madrid and Barcelona” and this is the reason for developing this chapter in which the illustrator Laura Árbol, the creators of the Ladies Murcia project, the creative studios of Fellas y Buas, the graphic design studio workshop Casa Chiribiri and the graphic designer Víctor Clemente, the only one of them installed in Madrid. “It belongs to the cultural vanguard of other cities and it caught our attention,” say the creators, who confess that the choice of participants was not easy at all: “We had a great list and we wanted to show very different professionals with cool projects.”
In addition, there will be a guest outsider in each of these episodes. The first is Natalia Mirapeix, creative director, illustrator, teacher and activist. “The idea is always to have someone from the outside so that they can find out what is happening in Murcia with these conversations and give their opinion,” says Teresa Camino (Murcia, 1993). “We want the invited person to feed us with his experiences outside here,” adds Alba Molina (Abarán, 1988).
During the talks, the B-side of creative work is revealed. “Problems like self-exploitation arise,” says Alba Molina, “because we have to do several jobs at the same time to do what we really like,” and there is no better example than his. “Besides this project, we have other jobs, which we do in our spare time and which we finance ourselves with our money,” says Molina, who studied journalism and who, like Teresa Camino, who studied audiovisual communication, trained in graphic design. and both They work in the field of communication.
This first episode of ‘Una huerta para’, which has its own manifesto, “also delves into the life of the self-employed and all the difficulties that self-employment brings in Spain, all to be happy with what we do”, Molina assures.
Everything revolves around one question: “If a creative career can be developed from the margins, far from the main centers of Madrid and Barcelona,” explains Teresa Camino, “and our answer is yes and not only yes, but we have to move towards that strive and much more, because I believe that the voices that are not in those cores also matter and all those who appear in the video have speeches that almost never reach the mainstream, but all voices must be heard ».
The makers already have the following episodes of ‘Una huerta para’ in mind, in which themes such as film, gastronomy, literature and architecture are discussed. “We want to continue to show all the talent of the Murcia region to the rest of Spain and break with the image of a stale and conservative community that all media ultimately sells and that people eventually accept. The region of Murcia is a lot of other things ». A national vision that makes this and the following episodes different from the pilot chapter ‘A garden to listen to’, where “the target audience was indeed Murcia, Murcia was shown to the people of Murcia”, notes Teresa Camino.
