ENJOY CONTEMPORARY ART WITH FAMILY THIS CHRISTMAS
Dec 19, 2019
calendar
Although we know that commitments get crowded these dates and that meals, dinners, visits and events accumulate without giving truce, there is always a chance to make room to disconnect and enjoy contemporary art with family. Here we bring you a list of some of the most interesting and entertaining cultural activities so that everyone enjoys these holidays between ‘turrón’ and grapes.
Workshops ‘¿Soy yo?’ and ‘Viaje espacial’ at the CGAC
One way to get to know contemporary art is to see it and live it in person while working on some of the concepts present in the exhibitions. The proposal of the CGAC (Santiago de Compostela) is to work, on the one hand, the last series of Jesús Madriñán focused on the people he was portraying when travelling the Camino de Santiago and that allows to delve into concepts such as inclusion and gender diversity and, on the other, the showing of the artist Pedro Cabrita Reis, who reworks objects through found elements and helps us to work the notion of reconversion, destruction and reconstruction. The workshops propose activities linked to the visit of these exhibitions to bring contemporary art to the kids of the house.
21st and 22nd December | From 4 to 9 years old
Workshop ‘App Inventor’ at Espacio Fundación Telefónica
To get into the technology and know some of its many applications, this workshop for teenagers proposes some important keys, without forgetting the responsibility in the use of these devices. A recreational and educational activity that will allow you to get the most out of a tablet while introducing us to the programming language.
26th and 27th December 2019 and 2nd and 3rd January 2020 | From 12 years old on
Workshop ‘Navidad en el museo’, at the Lázaro Galdiano Museum
A good way to soak up the Christmas spirit is to participate in the preparation of decorations, ornaments, gifts and greeting cards that are so exciting at this time. Putting themselves in the shoes of a true artist, participants will be able to tour the galleries of the museum and their showrooms while they soak up the works that reign the space and blow up their imagination in the crafts that they then carry out.
26th and 27th December 2019 and 2nd and 3rd January 2020 | From 5 to 12 years old
‘Este año la Navidad es… ¡verde!’, at the Guggenheim Bilbao
To raise awareness about the need to care for the planet and adopt sustainable practices in our day-to-day lives, the Guggenheim Museum proposes dynamic programming to address these issues by solving puzzles and always keeping in mind the art and work of the artists. In addition, one of the workshops, taught by the artists in residence Miren Arenzana, Zaloa Ipiña and Karlos Martínez Bordoy, will make the little ones reflect on the value of gifts and the possibility of emphasising non-materialistic elements.
From the 20th December 2019 to the 3rd January 2020 | From 3 to 11 years old
‘VaCAACiones’ at the CAAC (Andalusian Centre of Contemporary Art)
The whole family is invited to know the works of the CAAC collection through entertaining and dynamic activities that will allow them to visit and investigate something else in the work of Amalia Pica (Neuquén, Argentina, 1978) and Juan Suárez (El Puerto de Santa María, Cádiz, 1946). The workshop wants to encourage the creative contribution of visitors, to feed their imagination and development, while putting in value the contemporary art that can be seen in the centre.
26th and 27th December 2019 and 2nd and 3rd January 2020
