LEAVING FEAR BEHIND

Over the course of the school year, we offer an activity designed for groups of secondary-school students that revolves around exhibitions and focuses on generating meaningful experiences.

Our project seeks to establish a direct link between contemporary artistic practices and students with the aim of revitalising and livening up the museum's spaces. For this reason, we like to approach exhibitions as spaces for collective creation and research.

Taking this focus into account, we invite artists and creators to think with us about strategies to activate exhibition spaces. In this process, we seek to encourage curiosity and interest among students, as well as to promote collective creation. Our main purpose is to generate spaces for students to think critically. This encounter was designed on the basis of a desire to share knowledge, know-how, experiences and to debate on the content of the exhibitions together.

To hoist our own flag on the façade of the museum for one minute. To invent names and colour palettes with which to build the landscape of Móstoles at exactly 12:30 at night. Bringing our bodies very, very close together until we become one big rock. Meditating on the roof of the building and imagining the sunset-coloured evening sky. These are some of the things that the students who visited the museum last year experienced.
