Interdependence is at the very groundbase of our most everyday reality. Marina Garcés contends that “you cannot say I without an echo of us”, but it is a singular us—not ‘all of us’ but rather ‘each one of us’. We are increasingly bombarded by the fantasy that it is possible to live in isolation, but, not only that, that this life in isolation is livable. Political discourses, economic dynamics, ways of life, routines, slogans and individualist aspirations hold sway. And even though the lesson that we need each other can be gleaned from the extreme circumstances we have lived through and from everyday reality, the dominant narratives are different.

Coexistence has been smothered by survival.

Interdependence, and its manifold expressions, is the common thread running through these picnic sessions: ranging from our relationship with nature to work relations. The role of the public is crucial to reach the level of euphoria needed to generate the sensation of community, the sense of belonging that I, you and we all look for in a family, a rave or a union.

Interdependence comes about from the undeniable vulnerability that we all share in common. To bring this reality to light, the hierarchical relationship between audience and artists will disappear in the sessions when creators openly reveal their precariousness, endemic to the cultural industry, exposing the hidden underbelly of their life stories, a kind of in bio veritas that speaks of hand-to-mouth jobs and the difficulty if not directly the impossibility of making a living from art. In addition, the bureaucratic, administrative and fiscal demands required to take part in certain cultural spaces are major obstacles for creative practice. To circumvent and shatter them, mutual support is, as always, the most effective instrument at hand.

More than just participating, the audience becomes one with the music and performances, it is invited to reach out and touch each other blindly, to make exchanges on the sidelines of the economy or to take stock of their privilege with regards those who society categorizes as dependents, as if the rest of us were not.

These Picnic Sessions are an invitation to make the most of these bonds, and to create new ones. With euphoria.

Curated by: Nerea Pérez de las Heras and Mar Rojo.

// At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the Picnic Society was founded in London and met regularly in the open air. On its outings, which had no specific host as such, the individual members were expected to provide the refreshments and the entertainment. Starting out from the same concept, and forming its own particular Picnic Society, every year CA2M Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo invites various curators to design a programme for the art centre’s roof terrace.

Every Thursday from the end of May until mid-July the CA2M roof terrace will be transformed into a space where we will carry out a programme of activities mixing the body and sound with education and participation. //

PICNIC SESSIONS 26/05- IF YOU MOVE, I MOVE

Entrance

At the beginning of the 19th century, The Picnic Society was born in London, an association that met regularly in the open air and in whose meetings each member was expected to contribute part of the entertainment and refreshments without there being a specific host. Based on this concept, and as a Picnic Society, the Museo Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo invites several curators each year to design a program for the Museum's terrace. Every Thursday from the end of May to the end of June, our terrace becomes a space in which we develop a program of activities in which the body and sound are mixed with the educational and participatory.

This course’s education programme is an underground river.

It appears and disappears.

Its texts are transmitted verbally, that is, via the spoken word.

We would love for anyone to transmit our projects and for them to reach far and wide. So, we have invited the artists we will be working with during this school year to write protocols in order to memorise and explain the programme texts. This way, they won’t be forgotten.

If you are interested in receiving this programme please write to us at educacion.ca2m@madrid.org or call us on 912760227 and we’ll tell you all about it.

Curated by Isabel de Naverán in collaboration with Escuelita.

One year later, the question that underpins these conferences, challenges us, if possible, even more directly For which bodies, for what histories. In the face of the general uncertainty and the absolute lack of historical precedence that we are going through, this question confronts us with the contingency of history in the materiality of our bodies given the very violence that a brutal and savage irruption like this pandemic entails. We are confident that the curatorial threads - which were once amassed with rigour and care, and which are now being taken up again with the understanding of a vital transformation - continue to make sense.

These conferences rethink the preconception that situates bodies as a consequence of the historical circumstances in which they live, as, although history makes bodies, they also make history. The latter is told through images that, unlike bodies, remain fixed and mute, forcing us to reckon with history, rather than just narrate it. The images seem to bring the events to a halt and are often relegated to a one-to-one correspondence with the facts. Here we are presented with the concept of listening to how some of them reveal themselves in order to contradict and contravene their own narratives, while at the same time rebelling, warning us of other stories that emerge in their re-reading and in the dispute against the ordering of time. Seen in this way, some images do not remain mute: they mutate and act at the same time as they are enacted, manoeuvred and sustained. Bodies are also enacted and subjected by other corporealities, those that inhabit their gestures apprehended by the knowledge of a tradition or by a certain way of relating and disposing themselves in their varied worlds. The question of the title imagines a making of bodies and images that, in a state of mutual listening, establishes connections that are out of time, anachronistic, and syncopated, defying the linearity that predisposes a before and an after.

The twenty-sixth edition of the conference continues along the same vein of the previous ones, delving into the relationship between images, gestures and performativity. This edition sets out to think about images through the making of choreography and performance, its practice, and its specific materiality.

It is conceived of as a study programme which, subject to prior registration, brings together a group of people interested in and committed to the issues raised. A meeting in which speakers and attendees share time, conversations and experiences over three interlinked sessions. The first two focus on specific artistic and choreographic processes that explore notions of history, tradition, and transmission from body techniques that allow us to speculate about processes that can be described as a recognition of a gestural archive, an estrangement from one's own tradition, or listening to alternative modes of presence. From within these parameters, we seek to expand the study to a dialogue with partnering agents of art, anthropology and philosophy, in the intersections of knowledge. A third session will take place on Wednesday morning, in a pine forest near the museum, and is organised as an open-air walk with the intention of collectively sharing and offering feedback on the reflections and debates experienced during the previous days.

Speakers: Ana Folguera, Thiago Granato, Pablo Marte, Ameen Mettawa, Julia Morandeira, Rita Natálio, Isabel de Naverán, Eszter Salamon, Manuel Segade, Estrella Serrano.

What would a verbena (summer fair) shared with the city's birds look like?

What if, for one afternoon, we stopped watching them from below and invited them to celebrate with us?

We invite you to come and find out for yourselves: to share the verbena with our winged neighbours. We will be joined by Lidia Toga, who will help us to discover more about the rich world of urban birdlife. She knows these inhabitants of the skies and rooftops inside out, and will help us to understand their ways of being, moving and gathering.

Perhaps we should begin by looking up. Swifts, forever in motion, trace a rapid, collective dance across the sky that sets the tempo. They may encourage us to move with them, to follow that impulse alongside the groups Bailar el barrio and Baivén, flocking together, occupying space and discovering that movement can also be a way of belonging.

Between flights, we will build our own nests, inspired by the communal weaver bird that visited the preschool and primary workshops alongsid Adriana Reyes y Goya Batalla. Together, we will create collective shelters: shared spaces like the huge nests of monk parakeets, those living structures where there is always someone nearby, company and someone with whom to share things.

And, like magpies, we will be drawn to all things shiny and bright. Small treasures may appear: bits of paper that catch the light, found objects, fragments whose meaning changes when viewed together. The verbena will be that, too: a chance to pause for a moment and see things from a different perspective.

If at any time we need to slow down, we can pause Pompa y las familias, who have been exploring ways of sharpening the senses: listening more slowly, looking more closely, observing that pigeon from the windowsill, following the magpie in flight, noticing how things change when we truly pay attention.

There will, of course, be a shared spread—delightfully chaotic and generously abundant, just as it should be. Crumbs here and there; food passed around, changing hands, appearing and disappearing; eating on two feet while life unfolds around us.

Join us on 13 June at 5.30 pm to flutter, flock and chatter together as we celebrate the end of the school year.

All kinds of birds, families, and creatures of the earth and sky are welcome.

This verbena will be guided as a collective flight by Lidia Toga, an artist specialising in illustration, painting and muralism; Baiven, the collective formed by the dancers, choreographers and cultural mediators Alba Sáenz-López Aumente and Mar Sáenz-López Aumente; with Adriana Reyes, an anthropologist and creator in the field of live arts; Gregoria Batalla Batalla, a teacher at Zaleo nursery school, historian and provocateur in the art of education; and POMPA, a collective project for cultural management, curating and artistic creation led by Mara Sannia and Irene Aguilera Martín, whose practices intertwine to shape a shared territory of listening, play and transformation.

The Place of Unique Creatures will be a four-day summer workshop running from 30 June to 3 July for children aged 6 to 12 who would like to join us in imagining and creating a place of their own.

Sometimes we imagine bodies with wings, shimmering skin, enormous legs or the bodies of sea animals... Creatures that hide beneath stones, that sleep in caves, that crawl, float, leap or change shape. What if we could invent a being of our own? How would it move? What sounds would it make? What would it feel like to the touch?

The Place of Unique Creatures offers a space in which participants can explore using their bodies, movements and imaginations, discovering new sensations and new ways of being in the world.

As always, we will start from the idea of a shared refuge: an intimate space built together as an act of care and imagination in relation to the outside world. We want to think of these places as territories where we can invent alternative ways of living together and imagining collectively.

Through play, fantasy and shared adventure, we will set off on a journey towards new places and new possibilities. We will engage all five senses, bringing out the creature that lives inside each of us. Who says such creatures only exist in fairy tales? After all, isn’t the reality we inhabit magical enough in itself?

Along the way, we will create our own masks and use fabrics, paint and a range of materials to transform the space into a collective dreamscape where new forms of life and coexistence can appear. Through movement and theatrical creation, we will gradually compose a fantastical form of dance theatre populated by singular creatures.

Little by little, the group will build a living, dreamlike landscape: a community of unique creatures creating their own ecosystem, customs, hiding places and stories. A place where they can pretend to be something else and perhaps discover new ways of being together.

Chimenea de dos mujeres girando is a collective founded by Jara Arellano and Zoe Guidotti, artists and dancers who will facilitate the workshop through dance, bodily exploration and improvisation.

While dance lies at the heart of their practice, they see art as a hybrid territory where movement, literature, film, painting, photography and theatre coexist, nourishing their work and helping them to create distinctive worlds of their own. Their practice occupies a space bordering on play, imagination and collective creativity, eschewing academic conventions in favour of creating receptive spaces where the body can transform, invent and dream. Their principal aim is to make dance accessible to all and create safe environments where people can connect through freedom, attentive listening and the absence of judgement.

On 27 and 28 June, Museo CA2M in Móstoles will host the first edition of Cable: A Festival of Underground Culture.

Cable is a celebration of underground culture, bringing together concerts, film and short-film screenings, talks, and a fair dedicated to books, comics and fanzines.

Cable seeks to unite artistic and cultural practices that fly under the radar, whether in music, film or literature, and are no less interesting for it. Here, the underground is understood not as a springboard or stepping stone to commercial success, but as a legitimate, enduring and even ideal context for artistic creation. With Cable, we want to champion this spirit and way of working, which feels more necessary now than ever. In an age when culture has largely moved online, counterculture must remain offline: in person, organic, human and immediate.

The complete line-up is as follows:

CONCERTS: Comunión, Cosas bien cosas mal, From, Los lagos de Hinault, Marcelo Criminal, Mordaza, Primera Mort, Sierra and Vosotras veréis.
FILMS: Aliens (Luis López Carrasco), Balearic (Ion de Sosa), Din que non falan (Santos Díaz), Ilusión (Daniel Castro), Inmotep (Julián Génisson), La Panadella (Joel Jiménez), Lo-Tech Reality (Guillermo Galoe), Portales (Elena Duque), El ruido solar (Pablo Hernando), Souvenirs de Madrid (Jacques Duron) and Vivir en un mar bravo (Guillermo F. Flórez).
BOOK FAIR: Anoche Press, Apa Apa Cómics, Aristas Martínez, Autsaider, Barrett, Belleza Infinita, Clavos y Chinchetas, Colectivo Bruxista, Comisura, La Felguera, La Granja, Libros Walden, Niños Gratis*, Orciny Press, Pepitas de calabaza and Smol Books.
TALKS about magazines, underground culture, bars and more, featuring Andrés Castaño, Blanca Lacasa, Carles Armengol, Eduardo Bravo, Enrique Rey, Javier Rueda, Julián Génisson, Marcelo Criminal, Lorena Iglesias, Rubén Romero, Ruby Fernández and Santi Fernández.

Cable will be held at Museo CA2M in Móstoles on Saturday, 27 June, from 11 am to 9 pm and Sunday, 28 June, from 11 am to 3 pm.

Admission is free on a first-come, first-served basis.

Cable is a project by Libros Walden, a Madrid-based publishing house specialising in books on popular culture and cult authors. The team is led by Manuel Moreno and Ruby Fernández, editors, writers and cultural managers with more than twenty years’ experience organising festivals, fairs, concerts and events such as Autoplacer, Niebla, Festichachi and Nuevo Anochecer at public and private venues in Madrid and beyond.

CONCIERTOS en la TERRAZA

MORDAZA | Sábado 27 | 12:00

En palabras de Eric Sueiro, Medalla:

Mordaza
"Por favor, trata de arrancarlo. Parece mentira que un grupo, cuyo nombre proviene de un objeto usado para evitar que abras la boca, te provoque unas ganas irremediables de ponerte a gritar. Así son Mordaza, un puñetazo distorsionado que oscila entre lo viejo y lo nuevo.

El cuarteto madrileño formado en 2024 conjura todas sus influencias en un vórtice de fuego. Su centro de gravedad pone la contundencia en medio del meollo, pero su espíritu melódico se arraiga hasta el tuétano. Encasillarlos en el post-punk, el noise pop o el punk rock sería vago e inexacto. Mordaza van mucho más allá. Un sonido honesto, potente y con un mensaje antigeneracional. Ya basta de himnos generacionales, valga la redundancia. Lo que necesitamos son bandas como Mordaza y canciones que pongan un cuchillo en la garganta del estatus quo. Como las suyas." Spotify | Instagram

COMUNIÓN | Sábado 27 | 13:00

COMUNIÓN es el nuevo proyecto musical de Goulash! y Paula JJ. Ambas creen en el trabajo colectivo y les gusta Comunion subir acompañadas al escenario. Por eso, han adoptado la idea de apoyo mutuo para lanzarse a producir música en solitario, pero de la mano de una buena compañera. Juntas consiguen algo más grande que la simple suma de las partes. Los directos de Comunión son un explosivo b2b en el que Tábata y Paula comparten stage para potenciar al máximo sus respectivos temas.

Goulash! es el primer proyecto en solitario de Tábata Pardo, ex miembro de proyectos como Fuckaine y Rayo. Con Goulash! explora una mezcla de géneros como el electroclash, synth pop y beats de hip hop con actitud punk.

Vocalista en Las Odio y Dúo Divergente, Paula JJ presenta aquí su primer trabajo sin guitarras. Una nueva propuesta que ha definido como “bedroom punk”, con un sonido electrónico y experimental, pero manteniendo intacto su espíritu riot. Web | Web

SIERRA | Sábado 27 | 18:00

Sierra vuelve al escenario con lo que mejor sabe hacer: canciones que se quedan. Tras un recorrido que empezó con “Tiene mucha fuerza” —un EP que agitó el underground— y que cristalizó en “A ninguna parte”, definido como un “pop redondo, intenso y honesto” por la prensa,el proyecto regresa en formato esencial: sin banda, sin artificio, solo canciones. Un concierto para reencontrarse con ese pulso directo, entre lo luminoso y lo melancólico, que convirtió a Sierra en una de las propuestas más personales del pop independiente. Spotify | Instagram

LOS LAGOS DE HINAULT | Sábado 27 | 19:00

Los lagos de Hinault es un proyecto desarrollado por Carlos Ynduráin que, tras seis discos a sus espaldas, está ya consolidado como uno de los grandes referentes del pop underground español. En otoño de este año publicarán su séptimo elepé y en el concierto de Cable presentarán algunas de esas nuevas canciones.

MARCELO CRIMINAL | Sábado 27 | 20:00

Marcelo Criminal es el nombre artístico que lleva usando años Marcelo García (1997) para hacer canciones pop en su cuarto. En 2016 empezó a publicarlas de forma autoeditada, hasta que a finales del año 2018 Carolina Durante y Amaia (ganadora de Operación Triunfo), versionaron una de ellas: Perdona (Ahora Sí que Sí). El éxito no fue inmediato solo por juntar a dos figuras tan relevantes y antagónicas, sino porque la canción era, simplemente, maravillosa: un par de párrafos hicieron falta para partirnos el corazón y dar forma al gran himno de (des) amor de esta generación.Su último trabajo "La Última Casa de Apuestas" ha supuesto un antes y un después en su carrera, consolidando la presencia de Marcelo Criminal en el panorama alternativo nacional.

VOSOTRAS VERÉIS | Domingo 28 | 12:00

Este proyecto creativo nace en Madrid, en el barrio de Carabanchel en 2018. Sus integrantes: Ángela, Mari, Simone y Dani, se mueven entre el power pop y el punk rock, con letras divertidas que nos transportan a experiencias vividas por todos.

Tras su primer EP Preámbulo (editado por Hurrah! Música 2021), disco celebrado igualmente por crítica y público, en 2024, la banda lanza los singles “Sí Quiero”, “Mañana Es Lunes” y “No Llores Al Salir”, nuevos himnos con melodías sin freno, estribillos para tatuar y matrícula de honor en pogo. A los que se suman “Ahora Sé” y “Yo Nunca He”, para dar forma al LP “Vamos Tarde” con Carlos Hernández a los mandos de la producción y los video Karaoke de Rodri Chrome.xyz. Spotify | Instagram

COSAS BIEN COSAS MAL | Domingo 28 | 13:00

Cosas bien cosas mal es el proyecto en solitario de Tomás Avilés, de Carabanchel. También conocido por su trayectoria en Noise Nebula y Carrera. Esta nueva propuesta nace de la idea de componer canciones a partir de un teclado Casio de juguete y una 808 como elementos principales. Así, el potencial de sus canciones se encuentra reducido a su expresión más mínima, la raíz. Canciones cortas y letras inmediatas bajo capas de lo que él define como “soniditos y texturitas”. Que todo recuerde a un boceto es la idea final, pues según él, “la música del presente está tan super producida que ya no resulta natural ni cercana”. Este nuevo álbum presenta un giro inesperado, ya que, en vez de ser música que funciona como desahogo personal, pasa a ser música para que la gente pueda hacerlas suyas. Spotify | Instagram

FROM | Domingo 28 | 14:00

From es el alias de Fernando Romero, activo desde 2019. Fernando comenzó grabando en solitario, atraído por lo analógico, las voces cercanas y las pequeñas imperfecciones de trabajar sin pulir. Sus primeras canciones se inclinaban hacia un pop luminoso y artesanal, pero poco a poco fueron derivando hacia algo más incierto. Tras trasladarse a los Países Bajos, su música se volvió más pausada y expansiva. El espacio y la repetición pasaron a ocupar un lugar central, y su voz se alejó de la confesión directa para adoptar una presencia más contenida. En los últimos años, elementos del post-punk, el dub o la coldwave se han ido filtrando en su lenguaje sin convertirse en gestos estilísticos evidentes. Spotify | Instagram

Señoras en bata y pantuflas de vuelta de la compra o de tertulia con las vecinas en la plaza del Dos de Mayo; jubilados echando la partida de mus frente a las Escuelas pías; bares de encimera de zinc y el No se fía; mercerías y carbonerías en pleno Centro... Cuando Madrid era un pueblo. El proyecto nació en diciembre de 1995, cuando, en busca de su café con leche matutino, descubrió que el bar El Orien-

tal de Malasaña había cerrado tras el retorno del dueño a su Galicia natal y, en su lugar, ya apuntaba la modernidad en obras de un tal Rock Café.

Como remedio, quizá, comenzó a filmar el ajetreo diario en los barrios de Malasaña, Lavapiés, Embajadores y La Latina, con planos fijos sobre trípode, hasta acumular cien horas de rodaje sobre un tiempo encapsulado.

Así, desfilan las costumbres arraigadas que colean en Madrid, entre planos estáticos y mudos de trabajadores, cual ramillete de postales, pues los protagonistas, quizá por la novedad, posaban durante minutos como si se tratasen de fotografías, a pesar de que Duron y Morel les pedían permiso para grabarles en vídeo.

ALL-DAY OPENING HOURS

“I lose days, life, sleep. But it’s not my fault if I desire death and life at once, at the same time, at the same hour. And I want everything at the same time.” Alejandra Pizarnik

Girls (whispering): Hey, sweeties, are you awake?

Sadness: Yes, fully awake... It’s impossible to sleep in this heat.

Girls: Yeah, we're all wide awake as well...

Sadness: What’s up? What’s on your mind?

Girls: Nothing special... It’s just that feeling that we could maybe be somewhere else right now, you know?

Sadness: Yeah, that happens sometimes... Do you want to come over to my place? We can do something, anything.

Girls: We were thinking that it’s ages since we went to a party. A really great, fantastic party, surprisingly tender, dramatic and luminous... A party that represents us!

Sadness: Well, of course, when you put it like that! These are strange times for parties... But anyway, come over, we’ll think of something. Come now. You can even come in your pjs!

Girls: Ok, we're on our way. In any case... it shouldn’t be too hard to have party in these times, should it? In these times, a party can simply be about pausing and being together. In these times, a party can be about loving and remembering we're lovable.

Sadness: Totally. In these times, a party can be about spending a great hour dancing. A great hour singing. A great hour told well.

Girls: Invoking the night so we can see the stars, if only for a moment. Invoking the night and making it last until we drop. Tired, sweaty, listening to a story, an idea, a song.

Sadness: As Juan de Mairena said, an hour well told would never finish being told. A party can also be about celebrating time and celebrating the night.

Girls: Girls getting together for a twilight picnic. That could be nice.

Sadness: Great, so that’s what we’ll do, ok? All we need is a nice place in the open air, some music and a hundred or maybe two hundred friendly people. That will change the night completely, take it to places we can’t imagine...open it up, right?

Girls: Yes, that’s it. Let the night open up.

Open up the night.

La tristura and Mucha Muchacha arrive at the Museo CA2M this year with a joint proposal for the 2026 Picnic Sessions. What they propose is a time of listening, dancing, watching. According to anthropologists, before we shared a language we shared rituals, which is essentially what makes us human. We want to share this ancient ritual with the people of the city, share the feeling of being hospitable in this century. We’ve sought out different artists to spend a few hours with at twilight, artists who strive to establish a unique relationship with our times, who can hold their gaze in these dark times we are living through, and who can also perceive a light in that darkness. Who can see the crack. So between 28 May and 2 July we’ll meet on the museum terrace and open up the night together.

“When the light leaves
and the sky’s black,
no nothing
to look at,
day’s done.
That’s it.” Robert Creeley

CURATED BY:

Celso Giménez and Violeta Gil, members of La tristura, have been working in the performing arts field since they were twenty years old. Trying to generate “human situations” on and off the stage. Investigating the limits between presentation and representation, with a special focus on contemporary theatre, and committed to the intuition that intimacy and poetry are essentially political concepts. During this time, La tristura has collaborated with venues like the Teatros del Canal in Madrid, the Grec Festival in Barcelona, Cena Contemporânea in Brasilia, the Théâtre de la Ville in Paris, Noorderzon in Groningen, and the AUA Festival in Bern, among others. Over the years they have also generated contexts like the Escuela de Invierno, Festival Salvaje and the Gran Convocatoria Mundial, all with the desire to keep connecting different agents and artists, trusting that these connections will give rise to unexpecting and inspiring movements. In recent years they have started solo projects and new collaborations in the fields of cinema, the stage and literature. Their work is still tied to Madrid, the city where they live and develop their projects.

Ana Botía and Belén Martí have been directing the dance company Mucha Muchacha since 2016, together with Marina de Remedios and Marta Mármol. Since the outset, their work has been focused on researching the body as a space of memory, identity and transformation, creating proposals that combine tradition and contemporaneity. Their performance language incorporates elements of folklore, pop music and Spanish dance codes, reconfigured through a critical gaze rooted in the present. Since its birth the company has created Volumen 1 (2019), Mucha Muchacha (2021), Para cuatro jinetes (2023) and more recent projects like Cantar de gesta (2026) in which they continue to explore the relationship between body, narrative and collectivity. Mucha Muchacha has developed a collaborative practice with artists from different disciplines, generating research and mediation projects like SERÉ FOLCLORE and the TALLER-FIESTA project.

21:00 - 23:00

Inspired by Dorothy Iannone’s A Cookbook, made in 1969, the writer María Arranz proposes a workshop aimed at the creation of a collective recipe book. Based on a survey of the literary and artistic works of different creators who have made cooking a focal point of their lives, Arranz invites us to take part in a space designed to identify connections between the world of food and other fields like creation and writing that combine art, food and life.

In A Cookbook, Dorothy Iannone shows us that a collection of recipes can reflect not only daily life but the author’s existential musings. While a recipe book can be intimate and introspective, it also speaks to us of domestic and popular culture, of the time and place in which it was compiled. On loose sheets of paper, in notebooks or in published works; with or without drawings; with notes in the margins; with stains and splashes or pristine; inserted with tips honed from years of trial and error, or with precise instructions that leave no room for improvisation. A recipe book reveals many things and therefore demands attentive reading, much more attentive than has historically been granted to these texts. In this workshop we’ll talk, reflect on, discuss and, above all, read recipes, relating these readings to Dorothy’s work and those of other artists and authors who have also found a unique form of expression and thought in cooking.

María Arranz is a writer and a journalist specialising in cultural, feminist and gastronomic topics. A regular contributor on gastronomy to media like El País, she is the author of El delantal y la maza (Col&Col ediciones), an essay about the role of women in the kitchen from a feminist perspective. Among many other interests, in 2013 she founded FUET Magazine, which examines the relationships between food and culture, and she was a member of Cocinar Madrid, a multidisciplinary collective that uses cooking as a tool of anthropological research.

MATINEES: EXPANDED CINEMA FOR FAMILIES 2026

Matinees is an open, flexible space in which cinema expands: the cinematographic experience spills out of the screen and invites your active participation, regardless of your age.

The white cinema screen—that flat, opaque surface—is also a place to plunge into, to dive down to unsuspected depths. It can spill out of the sides, splashing and soaking everything around it, rising up to the ceiling and raining down from above. The images can adopt unimagined forms: unspeakable, immeasurable. We can watch them from a seat, or alternatively lying down, arm in arm, scattered across the room. Even with our eyes closed. We can touch the light, feel its colours, listen to it like a whisper, like a song. And we can do all of this together, in a room with no seats, no tickets and no popcorn. We believe there are many ways to watch cinema that have yet to be discovered. To explore them, we’ve invited various artists and filmmakers to imagine what those ways are and what other type of cinema has yet to be experienced. The Matinees take place on Saturday mornings and each session will be different: a proposal, an experiment, a challenging experience. We invite you to come with your best friends, your siblings, sons, daughters, dads, mums or grandparents and discover cinema like you have never imagined it. You’ll find all the details and session times here very soon, but for now here are the sessions dates and guests.
