Canción para muchos movimientos. Escenarios de creación colectiva
Un experimento efímero en que la planta baja del museo se convierte en escenario de encuentros, conversaciones y escuchas compartidas.
Canción para muchos movimientos es una invitación a concebir el espacio expositivo como un espacio por habitar. Es un despliegue de experiencias situadas, archivos encarnados y cuerpos de investigación que emergen del trabajo transversal del museo y su más allá. Más que una exposición es un ensayo en distintos modos de exponerse y sostenerse mutuamente. Los materiales reunidos remiten a procesos de creación colectiva del presente, a la vez que invocan las historias que constituyen la memoria viva de lo que vendrá. El proyecto se articula a partir de un programa público intensivo —charlas, conversaciones, poesía, artes en vivo y radio en directo— que aspira a convertir el espacio expositivo del museo en un ágora pública a lo largo de seis semanas.
En diálogo con este programa de encuentros, Canción para muchos movimientos despliega un complejo dispositivo documental que incluye obras audiovisuales, publicaciones, obra gráfica y materiales de archivo pertenecientes a más de cincuenta artistas y colectivos. Estos materiales forman constelaciones en torno a casos de estudio específicos de cine militante, video comunitario o imprentas cooperativas a la vez que se exploran alianzas y redes de solidaridad a través del tiempo y en distintas geografías: desde el Festival Panafricano de Argel de 1969, la Exposición Internacional Palestina celebrada en Beirut en 1978, pasando por el Museo Internacional de la Resistencia (1973–1989), hasta la emergencia de nuevas formas de activismo y agitación cultural en torno a la crisis del VIH/sida que pone en evidencia que toda enfermedad es política.
Comisariada por María Berríos y Sabel Gavaldon.

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.
