This year under the title In Motion and Exciting, the MACA Summer Workshops offer an adventure around the world of geometry, movement, light, color and the emotions these provoke in us. We explore diverse mediums, themes and ways of creating. We combine painting, education and entertainment, seeking to stimulate manual dexterity, enhancing the visual literacy of our young artists and using different materials and creative games.

On June 14, 2017, the following participated in the Round table: Juan Pablo Huércanos, deputy director of the Oteiza Museum, Joan Calduch, architect and co-author of the publication, and Martín Noguerol, painter and co-author of the publication, Vicente Manuel Vidal, architect, and Alfonso Navarro, architect.

The Udnámekam project. A magical history of music emerges as a consequence of the importance given to the necessary pedagogical work to be carried out with the public that shows reluctance towards contemporary art.
The show consists of a musical journey through a magical history of humanity and world music, starting from the idea that neither time nor space exist, but rather they are a fiction of the human mind in order to be able to understand and measure its reality. On this journey we will see how music develops from its birth, where music begins to be made without the existence of musical instruments, passing through its different evolutions until reaching current music that does nothing more than reconnect us with the beginning of everything.
Our audience will learn, always in a playful, stimulating way and interacting with the artists, the characteristics of music from different eras and places. This journey will have several stops where they will be able to experience the sensation of accompanying the artists with different rhythms, move their body according to the proposed sounds, discover how and who emits special sonorities, imagine in a drawing the sound proposals or become a conductor and lead the artists in the interpretation of a musical piece.

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 darkest 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.
