TEAM

 

 

Jenga is an art collective formed by Tamara Ascanio, Marta Battistella and Mariona Naudin. They met in 2014 in Madrid within the Seminar Teatralidades Disidentes organized by the Museo de Arte Reina Sofía and the Master en Creación escénica y cultura visual. The seminar was focused on the theme "nets of affection” and was led by Tomás Aragay (Sociedad Doctor Alonso). That context offered them the chance to investigate and create a project for the development of practices which allow to find the extraordinary side of ordinary life.
