the flowering of the pita // the swan song // the green ray // the burning ships // the maps of the end of the world // the M-203/// Vaslav Nijinsky's last jump // exhausting the material // until we run out of voice // the paintings erased when light enters // for what we have left // taking away the fear of // disappearing
AN AMATEUR CHOIR 2023 - 2024
An amateur choir is a creative project in which any kind of voice is welcome to participate. Every other Thursday, the choir does its own research sessions as well as sessions with artists who work with voice and listening.
In recent years, the CA2M Museum has been working together with the educational community at Federico García Lorca CEIP on a number of projects, allowing us to build new relationships between the school and the museum. This school year, we are interested in delving with the students into the imaginaries of the unknown in order to subvert the usual way of classifying the world.
OUT OF THE MUD
In the classroom of the CA2M Museum there are numerous ceramic pieces that were moulded by the groups that visited us during the year 2022. We invited infant and primary school classes to take part in this collective action in which we imagine an answer to this question: What can we do with those clay pieces? Leave the school and enter the museum to touch, change, break, make noise and soften.
EASY: MEETINGS TO THINK ABOUT INCLUSION
We will focus on the concept of easy reading, i.e. the method that brings together a set of guidelines and recommendations on the drafting of texts, the design and layout of documents and the validation of their comprehensibility, aimed at making information accessible to people with reading comprehension difficulties.
Mediation for Five Handrails is a collaborative project between AMECUM (Association of Cultural Mediators of Madrid) and the Museo CA2M. Based on a proposal that began with the exhibition Juan Muñoz. In the Violet Hour, we are rethinking mediation in its own context by putting the mediator’s body at the centre, amidst so many objects and so many words.
Where Things Continue is a group formed by young people interested in culture and art and who have been a part of these programmes. The project aims to redefine the relationship with the museum, encouraging self-management by its members and fostering self-directed learning among its participants.
We at the CA2M Museum like to think that we can all take part in the construction of the world around us and the importance of learning through doing, and we value the need to turn educational spaces into places where real projects can be developed.
Missing a Class is envisioned as an initial situated approach in context in which the CA2M Museum and a group of students from the Visual Arts and Artistic Expression in Primary School class at the Teacher Training and Education Faculty at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid will collaborate over the course of an academic year to explore other ways of learning based on contemporary art.
