During the school year, we offer an experience aimed at secondary school and sixth form groups that transforms the CA2M Museum into a space for creation, research and collective thinking. This year we will be working around the exhibition Aguas Turbias by Inês Zenha.
EL CIELO Y LA TIERRA EN LA ESCUELA
Este curso iniciamos un nuevo proyecto junto al artista Antonio Ballester Moreno, quien trabajará con las dos clases de 5º de primaria en un proceso artístico que culminará en la primavera de 2026 con una exposición en el Museo CA2M.
FROM 5 TO 7
A place to watch films, make films, think about the classroom and everything outside it. Aimed at teachers, lecturers and anyone interested in audiovisual media and education. This space encourages us to explore new ways of learning, teaching and viewing collectively.
DANCING THE NEIGHBOURHOOD 2025–2026
“Dancing the neighbourhood”, held every Tuesday evening at the Museo CA2M, is conceived as a permanent meeting space for children, a little community where the ordinary becomes special, where every gathering is an opportunity to discover something new along with other people, a feel-good place in which to explore through the body and movement.
AN AMATEUR CHOIR 2025
An amateur choir is a creative project in which any kind of voice is welcome to participate. Every other Thursday we do our own research sessions and also with artists who work with voice and listening.
OUT OF THE MUD 2025–2026
“Out of the mud... these seams” is a morning workshop at the Museo CA2M where we invite groups of pre-school and primary school children to come and share stories connected to other forms of knowledge and transmission, using experiences they already practise: gestures, listening, play, telepathy, imagination, dreams...

COOL DOWN AT THE CA2M MUSEUM
This summer, the museum is turning into a space designed to combat the heat just like it’s always been done: where it’s cool, with no hurry and in good company. Inspired by those perennial places where idleness is fine, this project is turning the museum into a summer refuge where you can simply exist.
GOING ROUND AND ROUND IS WHAT LEAVES A MARK
We invite you to join us for a guided tour entitled “Going round and round is what leaves a mark”, where we take a closer look at the exhibition Ria, by Jorge Satorre. In this activity, as we tour the exhibition we’ll reflect on the traces, repetitions and narratives derived from our own lives.
ON HERMITS AND SHELLS SUMMER CABIN
Summer workshop for children with Massa Salvatge.
DOCUMENTAR LA VIDA, DOCUMENTAR EL AULA. ESPACIO DE ATENCIÓN Y RECOLECCIÓN DE IMÁGENES
Un taller audiovisual donde explorar el videodiario como herramienta creativa.
House of the Seas
Just like the end of every school year, we are looking for a special way to kick off the summer. This year we’re inviting the artist Sara Manubens, who will suggest that we collectively create our own House Drag over the course of four days.
Here you’ll find all the educational programming and activities of the CA2M Museum for everyone: families, young people, teacher training and groups of preschool, primary, secondary and baccalaureate students.
Education Publications
EL DESTINO ERA IMPRECISO.
Abrazamos la deriva y el fracaso con la incertidumbre como aliada.
Nos camuamos en la delgada línea de los límites, cruzamos fronteras imaginarias, caminamos umbrales.
Esta publicación es el resultado del proyecto SEISCIENTOS GRADOS, una experiencia educativa y artística desarrollada entre febrero y junio de 2025 en el IES Europa de Móstoles.
Aquí puedes escuchar el disco-relatoría El triángulo que hizo Julián Mayorga a raíz de lo que sucedió en el proyecto sobre escucha entre un colegio, un conservatorio y un coro experimental del museo en el curso 2019-2020-2021 que se alargó por la pandemia y que trajo miles de sonidos inauditos y espectaculares.
En este curso el equipo de educación del CA2M apostó por explorar formatos y enfoques, redirigiendo el foco hacia los volátiles procesos que suceden en el interior del aula en el marco de estos proyectos de artista.
Por segundo año, las residencias de artistas en colegios realizadas en el marco del proyecto Aquí trabaja un artista del CA2M, estuvieron acompañadas de una investigación evaluativa. Dando un paso más, desde el lugar reflexivo desde el que trabaja el departamento de educación, en esta edición el desafío fue el de indagar y explorar los diferentes enfoques y formatos que la investigación podía adoptar, y de qué modo estos podían aportar a la reflexión crítica sobre los procesos artísticos que se llevan a cabo en el marco escolar.
After several failed attempts, we can finally announce the presentation of We didn’t know what we were doing. Readings on education, a publication explaining some of the practices developed for and by CA2M’s education department. This publication compiles not just texts, but also a good number of group dialogues which bring into play a way of working that understands dialogue, constant research, experimentation and investigation as the basic pillars of educational work.
The book Arte actual. Lecturas para un espectador inquieto [which we could translate roughly as Art Today. Readings for an Edgy Viewer] is a compilation of essays by experts in art theory and practice on recurrent issues within art over recent decades, including: the viewer´s position vis-à-vis art today and its institutions; the construction of the modern subject and its crisis; gender issues; art in a global world; and the connections between aesthetics and politics.
The department’s first cinematographic production, Pyramids, is an audiovisual investigation on the project by the El Banquete collective within the Artist at Work programme. The documentary is a tool for encouraging spaces for reflection on artistic and educational practices as well as on other challenges facing collective work.
After a long slow time spent in conversations and encounters with amateur collectors connected with the museum, we are now launching a publication about some of the things they have been telling and showing us. We invite you to read, observe and get involved in these collections.
Agua de Borrajas and the artists-in-residence in the Acento programme have jointly produced a publication that rounded off the three-day event in which each one presented their own piece. The outcome are seven A1 posters making up a Manual of Instructions that that wishes to put the body of the actions to the test at home.
This publication is the outcome of the work undertaken in Artist at Work, CA2M’s art residency programme in schools. It is the result of the research and an account of a project that lasted almost three months and 20 sessions at the Beato Simón de Rojas school in Móstoles, with the guest artist Nuria Mora and the rest of the team at the museum’s education department.
