In addition to the works of students and graduates, selected by a committee composed of 48 artists and teachers divided by areas, you can see artistic productions of the companies, groups and ensembles of the Departments of Movement Arts, Musical and Sound Arts and Folklore; works made by students of the UPAMI Program and the presentation of the Chair of Integrative Dance, dedicated to inclusive artistic creation for people with disabilities. Full of novelties, this 4th edition of FAUNA will have the Educational Area, a space for workshops open to the community on cultural mediation, project design and communication tools for artists. There will also be a meeting with representatives of the national universities of the metropolitan region to think about the relations between universities and artistic-cultural production. An outstanding activity is Memories and Stories of Malvinas, which will have the participation of teachers and graduates of the UNA ex-combatants and reservists, in memory of the 40 years of the Malvinas War.
