Clara Garí
She was born in Finisterre in 1954 and she is Catalan. She is a cultural manager, artist and walker. Over time she has changed her outings for journeys on foot and her excursions for incursions.
Since its foundation, she has been the director of the Nau Côclea Contemporary Creation Centre in Camallera and since 2015 of the walking art programme “Grand Tour”, a 300 km, 3-week walk that takes place every year in the company of artists from all disciplines: a profound experiential work of creativity and ephemeral and nomadic community in the geographical environment of Catalonia (and soon in the French Pyrenees and Aragon).
For many years she has been an associate lecturer on the Master’s Degree in Cultural Management at the UOC, and for 15 years she has also co-directed the educational project Shantidhara Pillalu in Chimallapali, Andhra Pradesh India.
In 2021 she was part of the Lacanian psychoanalytic creation research cartel Tránsitos and has received a Kreas grant from Girona City Council to study group dynamics in the context of Grand Tour.
