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.

Through this announcement, we want to invite you to the project presentation, where we’ll share the results of the inquiry conducted by AMECUM, which started with an invitation from the CA2M Museum to conduct visits to the exhibitions. Thus, we wanted to engage in an open act/performance/ritual to freeze time and record the fleeting footprints of our mediations, which still exist as living spectres.
