Cançó per a molts moviments. Escenaris de creació col·lectiva
Un experiment efímer en què la planta baixa del museu es converteix en escenari de trobades, converses i escoltes compartides.
Cançó per a molts moviments és un desplegament d'experiències situades, arxius encarnats i cossos de recerca que emergeixen del treball transversal del museu i el seu més enllà. Més que una exposició és un assaig en diferents maneres d'exposar-se i sostenir-se mútuament. Els materials reunits remeten a processos de creació col·lectiva del present, alhora que invoquen les històries que constitueixen la memòria viva del que vindrà. El projecte s'articula a partir d'un programa públic intensiu —xerrades, converses, poesia, arts en viu i ràdio en directe— que aspira a convertir l'espai expositiu del museu en una àgora pública al llarg de sis setmanes.
En diàleg amb aquest programa de trobades, Cançó per a molts moviments desplega un complex dispositiu documental que inclou obres audiovisuals, publicacions, obra gràfica i materials d'arxiu pertanyents a més de cinquanta artistes i col·lectius. Aquests materials formen constel·lacions al voltant de casos d'estudi específics de cinema militant, vídeo comunitari o impremtes cooperatives alhora que s'exploren aliances i xarxes de solidaritat a través del temps i en diferents geografies: des del Festival Panafricà d'Algèria de 1969, l'Exposició Internacional Palestina celebrada a Beirut el 1978, passant pel Museo Internacional de la Resistencia (1973–1989), fins a l'emergència de noves formes d'activisme i agitació cultural al voltant de la crisi del VIH/sida que posa en evidència que tota malaltia és política.

The Soils Project
The Soils Project, is part of the eponymous, long term research initiative involving Tarrawara Museum of Art, Wurundjeri Country, Australia, the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven, Netherlands and Struggles for Sovereignty, a collective based in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It works through specific and situated practices that consider soil, as both metaphor and matter. A further iteration of the project will open at the Van Abbemuseum in May - September 2024 as part of Museum of the Commons.
The Soils Project has been in development since 2018. An international collaboration between three organisations, and several artists, curators, writers and activists, the project has manifested in various iterations over several years including a three-part public webinar series titled The Soils Project: groundwork, and a two-week workshop, titled The Soils Project: On Country, for participating curators and artists. With a curatorium comprising arts workers from TarraWarra Museum of Art, the Van Abbemuseum, and Struggles for Sovereignty, the project’s approach seeks and facilitates opportunities to listen to diverse voices and perspectives around notions of caring for land, soil and sovereign territories.
Developed from this journey, The Soils Project’s forthcoming exhibition will embrace the deep histories of each participant’s location, examining the multiplicity of landscapes and environments, and the impact of colonisations and global industries on cultural heritage, land management and traditional knowledges.

Lecture by Ramón Grosfoguel
In 1956, countries that were fighting colonialism by freeing themselves from both capitalism and communism dreamed of a third path, one that did not align with or bend to the politics dictated by Washington or Moscow. They held their first conference in Bandung, Indonesia.
