Arte Ser Humano Festival

Artistic gatherings to explore human consciousness

Light Humanity devotes its only cultural project to the Arte Ser Humano festivals

The Arte Ser Humano festivals are artistic gatherings for exploring human consciousness. Light Humanity's Ecosocial Innovation Lab has supported them since 2025 and the project is ongoing.

What it is: the support given by Light Humanity, a Spanish NGO, to the Arte Ser Humano festivals.
In the photos: live music, a hand-painted mural, painted faces and group gatherings.
With whom: Raquel Gribler, Roberto Pacheco and Eugenio García-Calderón Huerta, founder of Light Humanity.
Where it fits: in the Culture area, one of the lab's ten.

Culture in Spain: rich heritage, precarious artists and little creative work at school

Light Humanity organises its lab into ten innovation areas, from energy to IT. In the Culture area, the Culture in Spain page sets out this diagnosis and, among its solutions, cites just one lab project already under way: the Arte Ser Humano Festival.

Starting point: an enormous cultural heritage and a rich cultural life.
What's wrong: the precarious situation of artists and cultural professionals.
And at school: little room for artistic creation.
Six goals for the area: access, creation, arts education, heritage, wellbeing and cultural industries.

Live music, a mural and painted faces in the photos of the Arte Ser Humano Festival project

The photos the lab has published of the project show art made together and live:

Live music: a woman sings into a microphone, next to a keyboard and other instruments, while a man dances with his face painted.
A hand-made mural: two people draw with coloured crayons on a large sheet of paper hanging on the wall.
Painted faces: coloured stripes, feathers and a Santa hat in front of a mirror with light bulbs, in the cover photo.
As a group: a worktable full of papers and handwritten posters and, outdoors, a group photo at sunset.
