The Collective Creation Laboratory 2027 is an intensive, in-person residency run by Can Serrat in El Bruc, Spain. Participants use walking as an artistic and research method while working through storytelling, mapping, embodied practice, ecological observation, food, and collective creation in the Montserrat landscape.
Can Serrat and invited practitioners provide a semi-structured framework, while participants contribute their own methods and approaches. Applicants may join an eligible one-week module, a recommended three-week trajectory, or the full six-week sequence from 10 January to 20 February 2027.
