Altered listenings and porous practices

Based on the different exhibitions, activities and workshops, as well as the museum’s collection, we are suggesting different encounters and viewpoints on contemporary artistic practices and their capacity for influence and social transformation. To do so, we will invite guests, but not only cultural stakeholders and visual artists; that porosity in the title opens up the arena to other creators and disciplines, allowing for encounters with writers, scientists, designers, performers, musicians and more. Our main goal is to break that systematic distance between the general public and the white cube by bringing together different voices around contemporary culture.

Music will be an essential feature that serves as the common thread in each of the activities, and each session will come with a playlist inspired by the topic being discussed. We are suggesting one encounter a month, making a total of eight podcasts.

We invite you to start listening in the flowery, fair-filled month of May and to participate in this new CA2M Museum radio adventure.
