Financed by the Daniel y Nina Carasso Foundation (FDNC) and developed Pedagogías Invisibles (or in english, Invisible Pedagogies), this project responds to the worries and wishes of both entities to generate connections between the art and education fields, opening new paths for artists and educators. Its objectives, which come from the intention of positioning what is educational at the same level of what is artistic, are to give visibility to a new professional figure (of the arteducator) and create an archive of the arteducators at the state level to enlarge the professional circuits of artists and educators and promote the proliferation of projects and initiatives in art+education. For this to happen, not only does there need to be training of young artists in the field of education, their imaginary needs to be transformed so they can recognize this job  as a viable career option in which art is not polarized on one hand and education on the other, but instead both fields merge into a hybrid and transdisciplinary third place.

Maps of Memory is a space of research, creation and social intervention that seeks to generate knowledge about the recent past. Made up of anthropologists, historians, investigators, and artists, its goal is to establish bridges that allow us to understand memory, violence and trauma, such as dignifying the people that were disappeared or silenced. The ethnographic methodology generates a shared knowledge between researchers and families, something that contributes to increasing theoretical knowledge but also responds to a social interest that has been hidden and forgotten about.

Channeling all of the potential of this human capital, making it flourish and directing it toward new economic models that generate employment and sustainable livelihoods is the main goal of the Citizen Skills Laboratory, CSL, (or “Laboratorio de Competencias Ciudadanas” in spanish). 

Throughout the month of April 2017,various workshops from the CSL were celebrated in the districts of Puente de Vallecas, Villaverde, Vicálvaro y Centro. Over 200 people participated in them that, collectively, created a cartography of these initiatives. After this mapping, around 200 ideas and proposals were generated that can be turned into economic initiatives.

Los Madriles, an atlas of neighborhood maps

It’s a map of Madrid and its neighborhood initiatives. Thousands of neighbours are collectively working to make a more livable, sustainable, inclusive, and participatory city. Before them, others did the same by demanding decent housing, streets without mud, more common spaces or basic goods. The hundreds of spaces that are highlighted in this map and that can be found in its digital version show the existence of a effervescent but invisible city, but above all, they seek to value the power of a critical and active citizenry that has created spaces of possibility, through self-management and participation.

The unidentified frame observatory is a research project of intentional and thematic nature. It is characterized by facilitating a critique of a contemporary society, utilizing different strategies derived from the ample use and heterodox  use of the videographic medium. 

Since its founding, the observatory has run away from prefabricated models and formats, centering its attention on research, understood as the sense of adventure of knowledge in the contemporary world. The project speaks at the age of the serialized image, of what has not yet been “identified”,  of what is not foreseen or what ventures into the unknown.

The program ‘Culture and Citizenship’ from the Ministry of Culture and Sports, has presented Cultural and Citizenship Cartography, a digital map that houses an archive of projects generated by this project with the aim of facilitating the connection and collaboration between cultural agents, and promoting the development of new policies and practices around a culture.

The presentation was made by the general director of Cultural Industries and Cooperation of the Ministry, Adriana Moscoso del Prado, and the team of the program ‘Culture and Citizenship’ . Likewise, various cultural agents that have collaborated with the program, or that work on mapping within the cultural sector have participated and the dialogue will be opened to the rest of attendees.
The cartography includes around 200 projects and initiatives, national and international, that have participated in the program, especially in the different editions of the “CUlture and Citizenship Meeting” and the “Culture and Rural Areas Forum”, to which new references will be added in the future. This tool, in continuous growth, makes up a historical archive and a device for research and distribution of knowledge, processes and work methodologies with an essentially social and vivid vocation.
