Winner of the Talía Award 2024 for best female performer.

A passage where to embrace mutations and the process of change. An intermediate place in search of a new version of oneself.

This piece is a manifesto about what is built from darkness, from doubt, in the crack that does not show but suggests.

A work that rests in the place of transit.

In search of the beauty that emerges from the acceptance of the imperfect, of asymmetry, of the irregular, and of the noise and traffic that is deposited in a loose, vulnerable and unstructured body.

Aitor Ortiz. Photography-Architecture, a multivalent relationship.

Since the birth of photography in the nineteenth century, this discipline has been fundamental in the discourse, dissemination, and transmission of architectural values. Being aware of its dependence, architecture has made use of photography on countless occasions as an integrated part of the project itself, with the project not being considered complete until the photographer documents the final result.

In this lecture, Aitor Ortiz will take us on a brief tour of his work and professional trajectory, emphasizing the need to establish a framework for the architect-photographer relationship that determines the narrative and dissemination needs of each project.

Eusebio, with nothing to hide.

"Eusebio, with nothing to hide" is a dramatized reading proposed by the Palabras Mayores group that pays tribute to the centenary of Eusebio Sempere. Immersing the audience in the intimacy of the Alicante artist, the performance unveils the essence of Sempere through his own poetic and personal texts. Exploring his deepest thoughts, the reading invites us on an emotional journey, revealing the vulnerability and genius of the artist. With a meticulous selection of poems and postcards, "With nothing to hide" illuminates the complexity of the artist, offering a moving and authentic experience that celebrates his lasting legacy.

This tour presents the museum through play and the activation of the senses. Children will explore the corners and works of the Maca, interacting with pieces by artists such as Joan Miró, Pablo Gragallo and Eusebio Sempere.

EASDA (School of Art and Higher Design of Alicante) in collaboration with MACA presents, from March 1st to 8th, the exhibition: "I Don't Want to Be Cinderella".

The exhibition displays more than 50 pieces of "illustrated" footwear, created by second-year students of the Higher Degree Training Cycle in Illustration in the subject of graphic expression techniques.

Each student proposal: shoe, sneaker, boot, flip-flop… is a personal vision that expresses the different situations experienced in the family sphere or in the closest environment in relation to gender issues.

The objectives of the teaching project, curated by Alicia Rodríguez Boado and Mª Lucrecia Bernal Valencia are:

To demonstrate through the art of social action the rejection of stereotypes from fairy tales, which influence and condition us from childhood.

To promote the search for creative solutions that lead us towards gender equality.
