A retrospective of the future", by national artist Cecilia Vicuña.
The focalization of the centers was carried out in Cecrea La Ligua, Vallenar, Valdivia, and Castro. Five artists and collectives participated: Brigada Textil, Inés Galecio, Fernanda Aguilera, Colectivo Tinta negra-Estampa, and Anto Taulis.
It was proposed to work in four Creation Centers on the project "Dreaming water. A retrospective of the future", by the national artist Cecilia Vicuña, being the main framework.

Components addressed
I.-Call Basuritas: territorial collection of garbage within the framework of the national call of the MNBA:
-Participants: Cecrea La Ligua, Valdivia and Castro.
-Design of call for proposals and dissemination at Cecrea
-Regional waste collection
-Shipment of garbage to MNBA before April.
II.-Creative laboratories within the framework of "Dreaming water. A retrospective of the future" by Cecilia Vicuña.
The research and reflection process for the approach and implementation of these laboratories in the four Cecreas will be based on an initial stage of identification of key concepts of the territory, which will then be put in relation to conceptualizations and questions proposed by the work of national artist Cecilia Vicuña. With this first matrix and also with the information that emerges from the focused creative listening that will take place in each of the four Cecreas, the ideation of the creative laboratory will be composed, to move on to the methodological design, which should be based on the methodological framework of the Cecrea program.
