La Merienda is a mediation project aimed at people over 65 years old, in collaboration with the Consortium of Museums of the Valencian Community, coordinated by educator Alba Cacheda at the MACA, Museum of Contemporary Art in Alicante. To give continuity to this wonderful initiative, the MACA currently has the mediation of Juan Diego Cerdá who accompanies the Group in these meetings.

Every Wednesday and around a snack, a space for exchange and learning is created, where the knowledge of the Group intersects with the content present in the Museum's exhibitions.

As a result of these meetings, this proposal emerges, developed by the Group, which seeks to highlight a work from the 20th Century Art Collection and bring it closer to visiting audiences through these small questions.

The La Merienda Group invites you to participate in this reflection activity. Answer the questions and deposit the sheet in the ballot box when you finish your visit.

Thank you!!

MACA, Museum of Contemporary Art of Alicante is carrying out The Afternoon Snack. A mediation project coordinated by educator Alba Cacheda, in collaboration with the Consortium of Museums of the Valencian Community, aimed at elderly people.

During the months of October to December 2021, every Wednesday and around an afternoon snack, a space for exchange and learning has been created, where the knowledge of the Group has intersected with the contents of the Museum's Collections.

As a result of these encounters, the Group proposes the creation of a platform to give visibility to artists who live in Alicante. This pilot project at MACA, titled The Corner of Local Creators, aims to showcase different Alicante creators, deepen and expand knowledge about contemporary art and learn to view the collections housed in MACA from another perspective.

The Corner of Local Creators will materialize with a series of sessions in which an artist will be invited to present their artistic trajectory, sharing their artistic concerns and reflections, the development of their creative process, their techniques, etc.

Guided tour with vermouth for the general public touring the rooms and works of women artists.

Traditionally, women have been considered second-class citizens in the world of culture. This position was based on a statistic supported by a very limited number of women who had stood out in the field of literature, thought, and the plastic arts. This idea crumbles when faced with a simple consideration: the reduced opportunities they had to develop their personal talents.

We will focus on Pamen Pereira, Esther Ferrer, Soledad Sevilla, and Ángeles Marco, attentive to the plastic concerns of their generation and shaped by their sociocultural context.

We will get to know not only their work but also their lives, with the intention of awakening a new perspective that recognizes women's work in overcoming the roles and models imposed throughout the history of art dominated by the male sex.

Free admission until capacity is reached.

We celebrate days of accessible and inclusive activities on the occasion of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.

Through TODOS MACA we aim to bring contemporary art closer to ALL types of audiences, thereby fostering interest in culture, the arts, participation, creativity and respect. The idea is to build bridges between people, and to transform our differences, our diversity, rather than an obstacle or a communication barrier, into an opportunity for mutual learning and collective creation. We all contribute if we all participate.

The TODOS MACA program consists of numerous artistic and cultural activities distributed throughout the first week of December, turning the museum into a privileged space to awaken the genius of a spectator unfamiliar with the art world, establishing a dialogue with the public and inserting the museum into the social fabric of the city to become a place FOR ALL.

From 2016 to 2020, the MACA hosted monthly storytelling sessions aimed at a children's audience. In these sessions, always using our collections as a starting point, these cycles were carried out with the help of Alberto Celdrán and Va de cuentos, which made children discover the characters that inhabit the museum: women, characters, wolves, monsters, horses, fantastic beings,...; fostering their creativity and imagination.

Traditionally, women have been considered second-class citizens in the world of culture. This position was based on a statistic supported by a very limited number of women who had stood out in the field of literature, thought, and the plastic arts. This idea crumbles in the face of a simple consideration: the reduced opportunities they had to develop their personal talents.

On this occasion, we will focus on the figure of Juana Francés, the protagonist of our temporary exhibition.

When these December dates arrive, when the days are shorter and colder, we have more desire than ever. The year is ending, but passion prevails. And it is precisely this overflowing passion, this need to go far, to step outside the guidelines and break away from the marked paths that pushes us to organize, once again, this TOD@S MACA: wonderful multidisciplinary artistic events with the aim of making visible and empowering people with disabilities.

And we return with the same objectives as always because, unfortunately, it is still necessary to work on this: that all people can participate in the usual creative processes, in the artistic circuits, and be present in all educational centers, in all professional spaces and in every stratum of this society. We seek social, political and human equidistance. Something that has not yet arrived for many reasons. And as long as that "yet" remains, we will be here, once again since 2017, celebrating these meetings and exchanges full of emotion and inclusion at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Alicante (MACA) around the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, which is celebrated every December 3rd.

With TOD@S MACA what we seek is to bring contemporary art closer to ALL types of audiences, thus fostering interest in culture, the arts, participation, creativity and respect for all groups and strata of citizenship. The idea is to build bridges between people, and to make our differences, our diversity, instead of an obstacle or a communication barrier, an opportunity for mutual learning, for collective creation. We all add up if we all participate.

The TOD@S MACA program consists of numerous artistic and cultural activities, in which we will transform the museum into a privileged space to awaken the genius of a spectator unfamiliar with the art world, establishing a dialogue with the public and inserting the museum into the social fabric of the city to become a place FOR ALL.

TOD@S MACA is not specifically aimed at a social group. It is not exclusive to people with disabilities or social exclusion. The target audience for these events is ALL OF SOCIETY. We could hardly build a more inclusive, tolerant and empathetic world if we do not count on the people who make it up. That is why the program of activities does not understand specific groups: it is open to all people.
