In this oddest of school years, which never really got off to a proper start, we are now drawing to its possible conclusion, a summer, a chance to get out there, to who knows where. We want to spend these last two months of the school year strolling around the rooms and halls of the museum, thinking about ourselves, about the walls, about the exhibitions, about its spaces and places, about our loved ones.

Every Tuesday from 11:00 am to 1:30 pm, the museum’s education department invites you to shake up its spaces, see how they move, see how they can be used by a museum now, how to build new ways of being together inside and outside the institution.

Every Tuesday we will start out from a different space:

  • stairs
  • perimeter
  • corners
  • ceiling
  • halls
  • being
  • outside

«After a very long winter, you see a green parrot perched on a blossoming almond tree. You would never have seen this in Madrid not long ago, but now it’s a common sight. We don’t know how we’re going to get back on track, and one thing we’re left with is celebrating a world that’s not going to be exactly the same. There are many things, even more when celebrating is part of the process of leaving behind, and moving forward. That path that is knowing what we follow. A public place, for everyone, green, high up, free, and specific. A place like a picnic.

This programme was shaped around the theme of tradition in an intuitive way, and we say intuitively because it was not actively sought and it was not until everything had been designed that we actually recognised this fact. Tradition understood in an expanded form, placed between the material and immaterial of this moment we are living. And who says when it is and when it is no longer like that? Throughout the sessions we see the most literal translation represented by craftsmanship, by mythology and inherited customs, but we also see that this whole world is reinterpreted, remixed, subverted, and left open to the air of the tensions of today’s world. In this open sky, questions and suggestions appear about what tradition means, to be tradition but also to make and create it. To believe it. Sometimes the folkloric appears, sometimes the ceremonial. Things that we know exist but that we have never seen also appear, which, because they are part of our dreams, also belong to us. At other times, there are interpretations that are so mixed in their languages and influences that they overflow. Yet, at the same time, when overlapped they create an image in which you can recognise yourself in the background. These are very local picnics. In them, there is a continuous reference to what is part of us and what we cannot be detached from. This happens and is interspersed, and suddenly it brings us to common ground where we can be together. And there is, in all this, a moment of self-reference of what the actual tradition of the picnic is and the place that is this terrace. We want to transfer these two things to other places, to other formats and, in short, to be able to live in the different ways we have always appreciated. A terrace can also be a forest.

We have skipped a spring. This is what we thought before everything happened, now we don’t want to wear shoes. We’re telling you this because it’s true. All that remains is for us to invite you to look together with us at what is coming from what has already passed.

As a Picnic Society, the CA2M invites several curators each year to design a program for the terrace of the Center. Every Thursday from the end of May to the beginning of July our terrace will become a space in which we will develop a program of activities in which the physical and the sound are mixed with the educational and participatory.

Triggering impulses, working in an experiential way, promoting critical attitudes through action, involving the body in learning processes ... These educational practices, in tune with the centre’s educational philosophy, are based on the construction of knowledge through experience. Thus, the exhibition’s performative routes focus on the spectator's experience and turn their gaze towards current art. In this way, we create meeting spaces in which to experiment and construct critical discourse regarding contemporary work. 

At this time, we wish to invite you to visit two of CA2M’s exhibitions with us.
On Saturdays at 6:30 PM we propose visiting TRÉMULA, artist Javi Cruz’s exhibition, together. And on Sundays at 12:30 PM, VEROÍR EL FRACASO ILUMINADO (EXPERIENCE THE ILLUMINATED FAILURE) by the artist Cecilia Vicuña. There will be a maximum of 6 people.

To sign up, write to educacion.ca2m@madrid.org or call 91 276 02 21. You can also come directly to the museum and, if there are not too many of us, join the tour by leaving your details at reception. We take all of these measures in order to take care of ourselves and to take care of you, though we are aware that these measures may change according to the situation. We look forward to meeting up with you again.

What is the relationship between art and incarceration? What role does culture play within a closed institution? What impact does it have? Is the cultural offer in prisons adequate? Do men and women have equal access to culture behind bars?

La Casa Encendida, Museo Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo and the association teta & teta present Envisioning Freedom: Art and Incarceration, a gathering dedicated to reflecting on the role of literature and art in prisons. Over the course of two days and in two different venues, the event invites participants to consider the importance of culture in prisons—closed, isolated and often forgotten institutions, especially where women are concerned.

On 24 June, La Casa Encendida will host a day dedicated A las Olvidadas (To the Forgotten Women), an initiative led by the association teta & teta that collects books donated and dedicated by members of the public, in an attempt to raise awareness of the situation of women in prison and reflect on female incarceration through literature. The full programme is available here.

The 25 June programme at Museo CA2M will revolve around COSMORAMA, an innovative initiative launched by the museum in 2024 in collaboration with the NGO Solidarios para el Desarrollo. Through Cosmorama, Museo CA2M has organised a range of activities—drawing competitions, training courses, workshops and talks—that explore new forms of participation and connection, turning prisons into spaces for experimenting and producing shared knowledge through collective practice and experience.

Over the past year, and with the support of Fundación Sabadell, a range of educational initiatives have been developed at Madrid V Prison (Soto del Real), which even houses an exhibition space bearing the programme’s name where works and projects created by inmates are displayed, challenging conventional ideas about the limits of art and its audiences.

The COSMORAMA Forum at Museo CA2M aims to serve as a space for sharing and reflecting on the experiences generated in the course of the Cosmorama programme, and also as an opportunity to collectively consider the role of art and culture as agents of change within prison institutions: what has already been achieved, the possibilities they offer and the challenges that remain.

PROGRAMME:

10.30: Opening presentation of the COSMORAMA Forum 

11.00: Opening talk by Pastora Filigrana

12.30: Experiences panel: Clemente BernadAntonio Ballester Moreno and Fátima Moreno

Break

16.00: Conversation between inmates from Madrid V Prison (Soto del Real), Álvaro Crespo and Tania Pardo

17.00: Experiences panel: Álvaro Perdices, Marina Roca and Taxio Ardanaz

18.00: Experiences panel: Elena Rosauro Ruiz, Amelia Repetto and Lidia Amalia Mateo

19.00: Collection of letters for people deprived of their liberty

Throughout the day, the artist Quique Palomo will create an illustrated chronicle of the event.

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.

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 Comunionsubir 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 | 18:00Sierra

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 lagosLOS 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 enMarcelo Criminal 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.

vosotrasVOSOTRAS 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. SpotifyInstagram


cosas bienCOSAS 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


fromFROM | 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

SOUVENIRS DE MADRID - JACQUES DURON Souvenirs de Madrid

Domingo 28 | 13:30 (Presentación previa de la película con el equipo de la película).

Ficha: 2025. 74 minutos.

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.

In this workshop we’ll approach the Tarot as a creative, symbolic and deeply personal tool. We’ll begin by exploring archetypes, memory and autobiography, and then we’ll use drawing to make a unique card that represents you: your card.

Each participant will create their own Tarot card, developing its symbols, meanings and narratives. It’s not a question of learning a closed system, but of opening up a space where the intuitive and the personal guide the process.

During the workshop we’ll look at examples of influential Tarots like Dorothy Iannone’s (Ta)Rot Pack, using Aitor Saraiba's Tarot of Light as our compass to understand the Tarot as a living language that can be reinterpreted through individual experience.

Drawing skills are not required. The approach is free, accessible and focused on the process rather than the result.

This workshop is also a first step for anyone who wants to embark on the journey of creating their own complete Tarot deck, beginning with a card that will operate as the starting point and seed of a personal symbolic universe.

Aitor Saraiba is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice revolves around drawing as the primary tool of exploration. Using this medium, he expands his language to encompass different formats, from ceramics to textile art, building a personal universe defined by a constant dialogue between the manual and the symbolic

His work is inspired by a quest to connect with the invisible, to shape what doesn’t always have a name. In this process, drawing becomes an intimate, spiritual channel. As a result of his research, in 2021 he created the Tarot de Luz, a work that has sold more than 30,000 copies worldwide and has been translated into several languages, making it one of his most influential pieces.

Saraiba’s work is deliberately situated at the margins of the artistic establishment. His interest lies in the artisanal, ancestral and intuitive, with parallels in outsider art, pop art and mystical tools. From that place, he has forged an honest, personal language that champions emotion, imperfection and spiritual connection as forms of knowledge.

“A new terrain where everyone is welcome, where education dresses up in its finery and science is fun. Every night the Universidad Popular will become a type of free and free-of-charge theatre of education,” wrote Blasco Ibáñez in the newspaper El Pueblo in January 1903. Blasco Ibañez founded the first people’s university in Valencia, which drew far greater numbers of attendees than the students enrolled in the official university. Now, in the present, we fantasise with the idea that the attendees of the “theatre of education” challenged the authority of the well-meaning teachers, who were devoured by popular wisdom. The photograph would have been taken moments before the storming of the rostrum. 

Following model of adult education centres, since 2008 the Museo CA2M has been running the People’s University programme as a space to reflect on the nature of art today. Over the years, the lectures given by art history and philosophy academics have gradually incorporated other forms of learning based on artistic practice, and artists have been invited to share their working methods and processes. The People’s University attendees have always participated vigorously in the discussions and played an active role in the sessions with the artists, to the extent that they have ultimately become the protagonists of the lecture series. For that reason, the research topic for the 2026 edition of the People’s University is the actual learning group that emerges and flourishes around the programme. A group that is always varied, genuine and fluctuating. 

Over the course of five sessions, we’ll experiment with insubordination, anonymity, collective authorship, resistance, radical confidence, power, cannibalism and other heroic fantasies with which to unleash popular energy.

MINOR ARCHITECTURE BY ESTER PARTEGÀS, curated by BEA ESPEJO

The world in our pocket

Having the world in our pocket is like inhabiting a minor architecture. It alludes to something small that leads to many things, highlights the value of what is within our reach, and celebrates the sensation of confidence we feel when we achieve a lot with very little. It also operates as metaphor for the condensation of the world: something immense, complex and infinite that can be concentrated in the palm of our hand. This thrill of understanding the world and seeing the inexhaustible in the everyday provide the premise for reflecting on Ester Partegàs’s work. 

  • Tuesday 14 April, 6.30 pm

OVER AND OVER AGAIN BY DOROTHY IANNONE, curated by TANIA PARDO

Let’s talk about Dorothy...

The sixties, the Tarot, Dieter Roth, Sarah Pucci, Fluxus friends, Berlin, Düsseldorf and hundreds of recipes. Autobiography, love and the domestic realm were tools of exploration in Dorothy Iannone’s art. The intimacy and power of her works can also be interpreted as a space of women’s liberation, where the personal becomes political. In this tour, books, paintings, sculptures and sound boxes, saturated with text and colour, provide a gateway into Iannone’s universe and the central themes of her work: eroticism, sexuality and friendship.

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.
