Title: Proximidade
Description: The isolation caused by the Covid-19 crisis showed us how valuable proximity is between people. Art and education also cannot survive without it. As with works of art when they are reproduced, people lose their aura when their presence is restricted to an image on a computer or cell phone screen. Art loses its life when it cannot vibrate with the proximity of bodies. In Proximidade: art and education after covid-19, the authors Marlies De Munck and Pascal Gielen analyze the reality that imposed itself with the pandemic and isolation among people. This book, illustrated by Lotte Lara Schröder, reflects on how proximity creates life and makes all the difference in a classroom or even a conference room: about how virtualization affects the heart of education. It also reflects on what is the vibration that overwhelms us every time we visit an art exhibition or see a performance. Artist Lotte Lara Schröder (Amsterdam, 1988) created the illustrations of "Noções de proximidade" [Notions of Nearness] and made the graphic design of this publication. Studied at Werkplaats Typografie, in Arnhem (Holland), in addition to other locations. Lotte is an artist and designer and is interested in nature and ecology phenomena. His independent work consists of drawings, paintings, and collages, sometimes combined with sounds and objects. His work as a designer is characterized by a strong connection with textual content and is inspired by the same sources and his playful intuition, very personal.
