Selfie (from the English word self, 'auto' or 'oneself') is a term used to refer to photographs or videos that a person takes of themselves, alone or in company, generally with mobile phones, tablets or webcams.

And from this, we make art. Don't you believe it? You just have to browse through this video that the participants of the MACA Parking Club 2018 project carried out jointly and, above all, "plural", conducted by Extrarradio. Because any excuse is good to let yourself go, to flow, to create...

But don't stay looking from the other side!

Take a SELFIE in a place in your house that tells something about you, share it with us at the email comunicacion@maca-alicante.es or on Instagram @macaalicante and with all the ones received and, above all, "plural" we will put together a PLURAL SELFIE – NOT WITHOUT MY MOBILE

MACA ParkingClub Action. "Plural Selfie-Not Without My Mobile" by Ester García and Juan Diego Cerdá from Extrarradio.

Project selected in the Call for cultural mediation projects CERCLES of the Consortium of Museums of the Valencian Community.

The Museum, represented by Ester Guixot, responsible for guided tours on weekends, and its librarian, Aranzazu García, attended the headquarters of the Surco Association to conduct workshops divided into two days

Through the materials, the Surco youth were able to put into practice what they learned in a Chinese ink workshop and another in stamping.

Learning while having fun was the objective we set for ourselves with these workshops, in which what is truly positive is the relationship established with groups and associations in the city.

From MACA we want to thank the managers and members of Surco for their interest and collaboration, which will continue over time, as we consider it positive for both the youth and the Museum.

Below we leave you a sample of what we did in the workshop.

In collaboration with SURCO.

A laboratory for graphic and musical creation, for all ages and levels. No prior training is necessary, but you should have an interest in sound, drawing, and experimentation with these disciplines. From curiosity, creativity and play, in the workshop we work with graphic scores, that is: intuitive, rare, unique, invented and expanded scores, with which to represent imagined music or music that we also create in the workshop.

Each session is original and unpublished, so you can attend all of them or just some. We learn about the connections between musical and visual creation, and we see examples from different artists and composers. We also sometimes work with exhibitions and museum collections, bringing a sonic perspective to the center's content.

Audience: from 8 years old with no upper limit. Minors must be accompanied.

It is recommended to bring your own drawing materials. No prior training is necessary. Led by Carlos Izquierdo

Album inspired by American architect Gordon Matta-Clark and his work Conical Intersect (Paris, 1975).

This is a formidable book that shows us the coexistence between the city and nature. How we humans come to demand of ourselves to adapt to the unexpected, how we discover that from chaos, our creativity is born and how we can understand, respect and love nature, despite it presenting itself to us in an unexpected way.

We will create a building cut, on a model of a house or building.

Gordon Matta-Clark's building cuts represent a critical perspective, a reflection on speculation, private property and privacy.

In Splitting (1974), the artist cut in half a single-family house in a typical middle-class American suburb, while in Conical Intersect (1975), this time in Europe, he drilled several concentric circles in the walls of a building that was going to be demolished in the popular Les Halles neighborhood of Paris.

Georgia O'Keeffe was a fascinating, original, and determined artist. She dedicated her life to art and was known as the mother of American modernism. Perhaps her most famous paintings are those that represent flowers on a large scale. Flowers seen through a "magnifying glass" that enlarges their shapes and colors until bringing them closer to abstract art. Observe, enlarge, abstract the flowers.

In this workshop of Me, artist we experimented with paintings, watercolors, flowers and abstraction to approach the art of Georgia O'Keeffe.

Lotte Reiniger was a German filmmaker and pioneer in animation, especially for her animated films with cardboard silhouettes, with which she delighted audiences of all ages. She directed the first film that used the multiplane camera.

In this "I, Artist" workshop we will learn about her art and practice some basic elements of stop-motion animation and paper cutouts.

The boy Juan had wings instead of ears, the boy Jorge liked to eat the wall of his room. Through the streets of Chihuahua walks Chavela Ortiz, the six-legged monster. These are some of the inhabitants of Milk of Dreams, the notebook in which the plastic artist and surrealist writer Leonora Carrington captured her most intimate and heartfelt visions: the stories she imagined for her children, presented in a facsimile edition that preserves intact the visual poetry of the original texts and drawings.

In this book, an artist takes her son on a fantasy journey to help him understand the different and varied ways of experiencing colors. With their multicolored car, they enter a landscape made of the hues and shapes of her artworks. Charles's mother is Sonia Delaunay, who in the early 1910s, together with her husband Robert, proposed the bold idea that instead of representing people, places and things as they appeared in real life, the modern world should be reflected by capturing its colors, shapes, sounds and movements. Coordinated by Va de cuentos and María Maraña

A few years ago it was discovered that trees in a forest communicate with each other

through an underground network of fungi and roots. This discovery that seems

like a fantasy shows us the forest as a gigantic living being. And at the same

time, the tree as an individual that communicates with its community to alert

of dangers or to offer help.

The footprint as a record of information, a texture, a visual code that allows us

to imagine the creature on the other side. In this session we will play with the

stamping of our footprints and those of other animals.
