ORPHEUS SONG-1970 . POETIC SYMPHONY FOR THREE VOICES AND CHORUS.

Action poetry trio formed by Bartolomé Ferrando, Laura Tejeda and Alain Goudard with the Corodelantal of the MACA directed by Sonia Megías.

In collaboration with: Consortium of Museums of the Valencian Generalitat

The Songs of Orpheus is a collection of visual poems of a musical nature, created by Elena Asins in 1970 on loose sheets of paper with a typewriter, forming beautiful drawings with letters, groupings of illegible sounds and words that construct phrases with a certain semantic sense and literary qualities, which allude to one of the oldest and most obscure episodes of Greek mythology: the story of Orpheus and Eurydice, traversed by love and death. It is one of the most important pieces in the history of Spanish experimental poetry and is being shown for the first time.

NAM (Navegando Arquitecturas de Mujer) is an app that collects and locates the works of women's architecture studied in the AICO project "Situated Perspectives. Women's Architecture in Spain from Peripheral Perspectives 1978-2008" (2021-2023), directed by María Elia Gutiérrez Mozo, Associate Professor of Architectural Composition at the University of Alicante, who leads it as principal researcher along with her team from the University Research Institute for Gender Studies at the same university.

It is an open and easily accessible resource that offers continuous content updates. It geolocates works throughout the national territory, allowing users to save personalized routes based on different search parameters (authorship, typology, use, scale, or decade). Each work, furthermore, includes a record accessible from the device consisting of basic information, photographs, graphic documentation, available bibliography, other links, and explanatory texts that account for the research conducted for each entry.

CoroDelantal MACA presents The Geometry of Strings with dancer Alicia Narejos

Alicia Narejos is a dancer from Murcia with a degree in Choreography from the María de Ávila Superior Conservatory of Dance. She has worked with the Antonio Ruz Company, Stocos Company and Otra Danza, among other independent choreographers. She won the First Prize at "Tiempo de Danza II" and as a choreographer she was awarded at Creajoven XIX. Her works are mainly collaborations with musicians, highlighting members of the Spanish National Orchestra and Choir, Neopercusión, Espai Barroc and Il Parnasso musicale. She is currently pursuing a Creation Grant at the prestigious "Residencia de Estudiantes" in Madrid, being the second one awarded to dance in the entire history of the residence.

The workshop will consist of an encounter between movement, sound and matter. A work of plasticity that will bring to the scale of human bodies the grilles, cradles and other geometries of the string figures by Eva Lootz. In what way will the patterns of play, their nature, and the string itself influence the voice and the body? It is the starting point of a research work between Alicia Narejos, Eva Lootz and Sonia Megías that is born at MACA and will continue to develop in places such as the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid.

Interpretation of the arrangements of Soldats del plantà and Bígala, in Valencian.

A society that lives between boxes. It uses them, in hundreds of thousands of shipments that are carried out daily around us almost without us noticing. It inhabits them, because shared living spaces are becoming increasingly oppressive, with the screens of our digital devices being the only windows to the outside. We find ourselves enclosed in fragile and suffocating walls, whether made of cardboard or concrete, of frustration or oblivion.

That is why, from the Palabras Mayores group, they propose that we reflect on this through En/Caja/2, a performance that wanders between happening and artistic intervention, and which will take place in one of the museum's rooms. We invite you to participate in this experience that will take place on Saturday, January 28th, starting at 6 p.m., in which creators and spectators will interact and become the same thing because, after all, all people carry and live in their own boxes.

"A walk through the Port of Alicante, its coastline and some projects".

A tour with Manuel Lillo and Emilio Vicedo about the proposals, intervention strategies and projects developed by them on the waterfront of our city of Alicante, which invites us to reflect on mobility, pending infrastructure and the management structures necessary for the transformation of the coastline.

The conference is held in online or in-person format, you can choose. Online format: Through Zoom, which you can access through this link.

It is a family experience in which both adults and children will enjoy an experience that you don't expect to find in a museum: it is a journey that some will have almost forgotten and others have yet to experience.

We will visit the museum, but we will also encounter our inner child or the person we would like to become. We will do this through a workshop for some and a visit for others, in which everyone will have to make a decision. But be careful, not many people dare to peek into The Other Side. You need to have at least a minimum of adventurous spirit!

Come and discover contemporary art in a way that perhaps no one has ever told you about before. The only thing we want to guarantee you is that both adults and children will enjoy, remember, dream, share and, as we always like to say, be moved.

Idea and realization: Ester García Guixot, Extrarradio.

EVERYONE MACA does not give up.

And if it doesn't give up, it's because of you. Every year we set ourselves the challenge of organizing these multidisciplinary artistic events with the aim of making visible and empowering people with functional diversity.

And we know that it shouldn't have to be necessary. We know that all people, regardless of their class, category or condition, should have the right and freedom to be part of the usual creative processes, of the artistic circuits, and to be present in all educational centers, in all professional spaces and in every stratum of this society.

It should be an absolutely normalized matter. But it isn't. It still isn't. That's why we return, year after year, with the same enthusiasm and the same determination that we have maintained since 2017, when we celebrated the first edition of this meeting of interaction, emotion and inclusion that has as its headquarters and epicenter the Museum of Contemporary Art of Alicante (MACA). The official reason, of course, is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities celebrated every December 3rd. But we work every day, unrelenting, so that full inclusion becomes a reality.
