Past events

To mark the occasion of its 15th anniversary, on 4 and 5 May the CA2M Museum is hosting FURIA, a Live Arts Festival whose first edition will bring together traditional flamenco and contemporary performance art.

In May several birthdays are celebrated in Madrid, and we are going to make a gift-tribute to our region. Through two workshops, the artist Clara Moreno Cela shows the public the process of her research on the identity of Madrid. In order for everyone to enjoy this activity, the first day is aimed at families, and the second and third days are aimed at teenagers and adults.

The artist Ángela Cuadra invites us on a guided tour of the exhibition 1502 people facing the wall, where she will approach the artist's work from the paradoxes of the gaze, the devices of visibility and concealment with which the facts are presented to us.

In the summer of 1959 the Estonian non-fiction film producer and opera singer Friedrich Jürgenson and his partner tried to record the birdsong of a finch in order to use it in one of their documentaries. In the forest near their home Friedrich placed a tape recorder and remained silent as he tried to record the birdsong. On returning home, he played back what he had recorded.

The CA2M Museum becomes a place where movement is the protagonist to intertwine links between dance, performance and museum space once a month.

The Conciencia-Afro (Afro-Consciousness) Festival provides a space for meeting, affectivity and thinking for the Afro community in Spain. The event combines politics, aesthetics, music, entrepreneurship and pedagogics in which all the agents involved and the organizers are members of the Afro community resident in Spain.

On Monday 18 May we will be celebrating International Museum Day, with this year’s theme of “Museums for Equality: Diversity and Inclusion”. Despite the fact that our doors are still closed, we will celebrate the importance of institutions like ours throughout the whole week on our social media.
