TARQUÍN/ Gender: Mud

Performance

TARQUIN is silt deposited in the fields by floods. It is the mud that appears on the edges of the rice fields, moldable and soft, a fusion of water and earth with nutrients in different states of decomposition. It takes us to a unique range of textures and colors, giving the Albufera irrigation ditches a framed yet wild dimension. It is a bordering space between the sea and two fresh waters, with ravines and boulevards around it.


PLEASE TOUCH. CaSO4.2H2O. Raul Leon-Mendoza

Conferences

Generally at exhibitions we usually find signs that say “Please don't touch”. However, in the case of Raúl León Mendoza's exhibition CaSO4.2H2O, it is necessary for the public to touch and hold the works on display with their hands. Because it is not just about shapes and colors, but you must also appreciate the weight and texture of the different materials used


Graphic work and publishing house

Conferences

Within the framework of the exhibition "Oh secret voice of dark love", with works by Jesús Martínez Oliva, Mili Hernández will be with us on Friday, November 17 at 7:00 p.m. In the context of illustrating written texts, editorial work appears to be particularly relevant. For this reason we have invited the editor, the person who founded, together with other partners, FLORES RARAS, to share with us the experience of an adventure such as publishing books, and, in particular, illustrated books, an experience that Added to the bookstore, as a whole, are some work experiences that we think can be enormously useful for the LGTBIQ+ group.


“In the abyss of my mind”. Video & Colloquium

Performance

Manuela Trasobares is a painter, sculptor, fallera artist, opera singer and the first transgender councilor in Spanish politics. The artist has a prolific and varied artistic work, framed in the most transgressive contemporary art, which would well deserve a retrospective. All of her work has an artistic background committed to the fight for social justice, equality and the Republic. This work shares with the first book of her Will to Power a combative attitude mixed with the truth and reality of the artist herself.


“The Nomadic Life and the place of Rincón of Ademuz”. Colloquium

Conferences

Nomadic life has its landscapes, such as those that can be seen in the exhibition "The Nomadic Life". In the cities: under the bridges, or old obsolete industrial areas where wild nature has returned, like those recorded by Joost Conijn in the audiovisual “Siddieqa, Firdaus, Abdallah, Soelayman, Moestafa, Hawwa in Dzoel-kifl”, made in Amsterdam; or those that Denis Ponté has photographed: “Nomadic Community Garden” and “Left for Dead”, made in London and New York. Also open field landscapes: refuges in the mountains, and desolate places where no one would look for you, like those photographed by Ulrike von Gültlingen: “Hohrodberg”, military buildings in Alsace; or the sea of stones of Arroyo Cerezo (Rincón de Ademuz) that the geologist Enrique Gil Bazán has studied, and that we show in “The Nomadic Life” on a research wall.


Drag Conversations

Conferences

Drag has traditionally been associated with the night shows of the LGTBIQ+ scene and with certain social environments. But nothing to do with what the collective is experiencing at the present time.
