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.
SONGS AND SWEETS: MI CASA SIN PATIO
Children's songs function as a connecting thread of memories, generations and lives separated in space and time. We will put the memory of the older people to play with the intuition of the younger ones, and so turn a nursery rhyme into a song of our lives today: altering the lyrics, trying out instruments and inventing a dance for any age.
EL CINE REV[B]ELADO #6
Continuing with the line of work that got underway in 2014, El Cine Rev[b]elado is offering a series of activities around audiovisual performance and film’s interrelation with other disciplines.
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.
2024 MÓSTOLES PLANT LAB
The possibilities afforded by learning about the nature around us include more than just growing our own food.
LEAVING FEAR BEHIND
An activity designed for groups of secondary-school students that revolves around exhibitions and focuses on generating meaningful experiences and establishing a direct link between contemporary artistic practices and students, encouraging curiosity and collective creation.
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.
