#4 (Un)Learning the World
Because art that educates doesn’t tame: it awakens.
An edition that dives into the power of art education — a territory where learning and unlearning intertwine in gestures, voices, and memories. Here, to educate is a poetic and political act. It is to listen to what has been silenced, to dance with what history tried to immobilize, and to relearn how to feel the world with one’s whole being.

Issue Zero
Zero. The starting point. The fertile void. The blank canvas that already contains all possibilities. It is in this space between fear and ecstasy that Arte Cítrica is born: as invitation, as discovery, as transformation. Zero is seed, is potential, is what flourishes in multiple directions.
In this issue
The debut of Arte Cítrica dives into works, ideas, and crossings that explore zero as origin, absence, and promise:
