Activity

On 23 and 24 September the city of Móstoles will host its 2nd Culture Forum. The idea behind the forum is to act as an open debate that will lead to the drafting of proposals and initiatives for cultural action, as well as the participation of groups, associations and other bodies who play a key role in the city’s day-to-day cultural life.

Following the successful first edition, this year the Forum will once again be a meeting place for all the various cultural agents in the city, offering a framework in which they can join in workshops, debates and assorted actions in cultural centres, including CA2M, and also in the streets and squares of Móstoles.

The Region of Madrid’s Department of Culture, Tourism & Sports commissioned the filmmaker José Luis López Linares and the Lopez-li Films production company to make a short artistic documentary film called “CA2M, 10 AÑOS EN MÓSTOLES” (CA2M, 10 YEARS IN MÓSTOLES), whose primary goal is to showcase the cultural value of CA2M. The film was conceived to coincide with the tenth anniversary of the opening of the museum belonging to the Region of Madrid, a benchmark for contemporary art in the whole area of influence and more particularly for the city of Móstoles.

Jose Luis López Linares is a director of photography who has worked on films by Carlos Saura, Fernando Trueba, Jaime Chávarri, Alain Tanner and Víctor Erice. Since 1994, he has produced and directed over forty documentaries including: Asaltar Los Cielos (Ondas Awards, 1997) Un instante en la vida ajena (Goya for Best Documentary, 2004) and Extras (Goya for Best Short Documentary, 2005). He also has won a Goya for Best Photography in 2005 for his work in Iberia, by Carlos Saura. “CA2M, 10 años en Móstoles” is his first collaboration with the Regional Government of Madrid.

This short documentary is also supported by Madrid en Corto (http://madridencorto.es/), a program promoted by the Region of Madrid’s Department of Culture, Tourism & Sports and run by ECAM Distribución, for the nationwide and international distribution of short films produced in the Region of Madrid.

During the summer vacation, all the children who want to can join us in a workshop to call for rain, thunder and lightning, both inside and outside the museum. We will dance until it starts to thunder, we will light up the darkness and we will get soaked to the skin. Perhaps we will get magical powers but, if not, at least we will cool down.

In this workshop, girls and boys can take over the museum and transform it into a hideout where that can have a wonderful summer.

Children over the age of six

From 19 to 22 de July.

At the end of every school year we like to think of a different way of starting the summer. This time, the artist Pablo Durango will pay us a visit to lead a workshop exploring new artistic strategies.

The workshop will examine the possibility of building an alternative narrative of our own identity.

Using various techniques like drag, storytelling and playing, we will set off on a journey to different realities and potential fictions.

Opening the portals to other dimensions, transforming our bodies and telling ourselves impossible stories is the point of departure on a journey to Multiversal Arcadia where the only limit is our imagination.

Young people from 13 to 21 years of age
