Secundaria y Bachillerato

Going out on to the street to propose practices that alter the logical order of things; sticking chewing gum on the museum entrance to create a collective sculpture with the fingerprints of the all students; hanging their own flag on the museum facade (if only for a minute); and inventing ranges of colour to reconstruct the Móstoles landscape at precisely 12.30 noon.  

These are just some of the experiences in which students who have visited the Museo CA2M have engaged.  

During the school year we propose an experience for secondary and upper secondary students that will turn the museum into a space for creation, investigation and collective thinking.  

This year the activities will revolve around the Murky Waters exhibition by Inês Zenha, their first institutional solo show in Spain. Zenha explores queer identity, desire and vulnerability through installations, paintings and sculptures that invite us to rethink the body, fluidity and power structures.  

With this same focus, we have invited the artist Aicha Josefa Trinidad Gououi to help us design strategies to activate the exhibition spaces and generate meaningful experiences with the students. The aim is to establish a direct link between contemporary artistic practices and young people, encouraging critical thinking and discussion about topical social and cultural themes.  

What do we propose?  

  • An encounter inspired by the desire to share knowledge, practices and experiences.  
  • A space to imagine other ways of being together.  
  • An opportunity to turn the museum into a laboratory, a stage, a shelter.  

Aicha Josefa Trinidad Gououi is a researcher and artist. Her work explores how first-person writing and lived experiences can become forms of knowledge.

Aimed at secondary school students, this visit-workshop focuses on the act of painting, and more specifically on thinking about colours. If you give them time, colours become mysterious. Many of them came about initially as pigments for artistic painting; sometimes their names refer to the geographical regions where they were first used or found, or to the minerals and chemical substances used in their composition.

The names for colours vary depending on cultures and people: it could be the case that the same name for a colour might suggest a different shade to people from different countries. In addition, some have a very precise and unambiguous definition, while others only give vague hints. We can see, for instance, that the sky above Móstoles at 2:26 pm today is Móstoles blue, Thursday blue or sky grey. But that is not exactly it either.

One thing that strikes us as fundamental in Mitsuo Miura’s work is his way of looking at his surroundings, of noticing all the minute changes. Colours, but also humidity, shadows and the weather are all raw material to construct by using what is available to us and to expand the world we think we see.

Discover more about the exhibition  Mitsuo Miura. Almost 400 m² for Two Landscapes.
