Past events
LITTLE FRIEDEL… CAN YOU HEAR ME?
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.
Afro-Consciousness Festival 2022
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.
FURIA
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.
Among the various artistic interventions contingent on the exercises in architectural acupuncture begun in autumn 2016 at CA2M, Dora García has conceived an exhibition which takes the form of new signage in a permanent intervention that involves all the art centre’s various spaces.
Todos los conciertos, todas las noches, todo vacío reúne algunos de los últimos trabajos de Ana Laura Aláez en diálogo con otros del inicio de su trayectoria. La exposición se propone como un giro al origen, ir al punto de partida para trabajar entre las fisuras de los temas que han acompañado su trabajo en los últimos veinte años.
CA2M is now implementing the #Unmetroymedio project, which consists in getting artists who are resident in the Region of Madrid to explain to us what they are working on during confinement. Availing of the domestic means at hand, they will express their ideas through texts and images or will simply tell us how they are and talk about the possible futures that face us.
INTERNATIONAL MUSEUM DAY 2020
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.
Danzónico is a workshop in which we create our own carnival. We transform ourselves into sonic beings, into magnificent beasts, alongside the performing artists Ismeni Espejel and Laura Bañuelos and the musician Julián Mayorga.
This year we wish to see and to make film collectively and, with this purpose in mind, we have invited Chus Domínguez to design a workshop. Focused mainly on practice, it will be a space aimed at teachers and educators who want to use audiovisuals to question their workspace and to find new forms of images and sounds in the classroom.
