Saturdays, 7th and 14th October and Saturday 11th November - Ceramic mural workshop Saturdays, 7th and 14th October and Saturday 11th November | 10.30am to 1.30pm | Museum courtyard
IMPORTANT: This workshop will take place in 3 sessions/days, and you should attend each of the sessions.
Take part in the “Mural Action” project and create a collective ceramic mural with us!
The idea behind this workshop is to develop artistic and technical skills while promoting collective work, interpersonal ties and shared learning.
Participants will take part in designing and creating the ceramic pieces using the dry rope technique, as well as placing them on the wall.
The resulting mural will remain in place as a fixed collective work in the museum courtyard, forming part of the “Mural Action” project. This includes different murals created by groups of varying ages applying different techniques.
1st session – 7th October: Composition and creation of the design for the ceramic mural.
2nd session – 14th October: Transfer of the collective design to ceramics and learning the “dry rope” technique.
Final session – 11th November: Transfer of the ceramic design to the wall of the museum courtyard so that it remains in place as a collective work.

Saturday, 4th November - Talk | Artistic graphics: a long-standing living tradition in Mexico Saturday, 4th November | 12pm | Audiovisual room (10)
Talk given by Alessandra Galimberti, anthropologist and cultural manager, author of the books “Oaxaca en femenino: 40 mujeres en las Artes Visuales and “Ediciones Litográficas Mark Silverberg. Oaxaca, México. 1995-2001”, and founder of the Anfibia Gráfica project.
We explore the development of graphic art, linking the work of artists who are part of two of our exhibitions: “American Abstraction · Carlos Mérida” and “Contemporary art in Oaxaca. Vanguard, myth and tradition”.
Here we see the importance of engraving in Mexican art based on different techniques and languages. They also share the presence of pre-Columbian references in their works. This topic will be addressed in our next talk, entitled “Before America. A framework to help understand the collections of the Ralli Museum”.

Saturday, 25th November - Talk | Before America. A framework to understand the collections of the Ralli Museum Saturday, 25th November | 12pm | Audiovisual room (10)
Talk given by Rodrigo Gutiérrez Viñuales, professor of Art History, associate professor at the University of Granada and specialist in contemporary art and Ibero-American art.
References to indigenous tradition have a strong presence in the contemporary art of Latin America. They are reinterpreted based on the current perspective in different ways depending on the language or style.
In this talk we will look at the specific cases of the artists that make up the Ralli Collection and who develop this theme in their work. They range from Carlos Mérida, Rufino Tamayo, Francisco Toledo, Roberto Matta, Mario Toral and Wifredo Lam, all found in our permanent collection, to other artists from the Ralli Collection that had not been exhibited here until now, such as Mateo Manaure and Fernando De Szyslo, among others.
We will also talk about the work of some of these artists beyond our collection, coinciding with the recently inaugurated exhibition “Before America. Original sources in modern culture”, organised by the Juan March Foundation, of which our speaker, Rodrigo Gutiérrez, is curator.

Wednesday, 6th December - Mystery visit Wednesday, 6th December | 12pm | Room 10
Did you know everything that artworks tell us?
In addition to the theme depicted, artworks tell us their own story and speak to us about the personality, tastes and concerns of the artist who created them.
How important are signatures? How do we differentiate between a repaint and a rectification? Can we recognise creative processes by reading between pictorial layers?
In this workshop visit, we suggest you put yourself in the shoes of a museum curator, analysing a series of works by the Argentine artist Norah Borges, discovering the mysteries and interesting features hidden within them.
12pm
Room 10
For all ages (under 13s must be accompanied by an adult)
Free activity with limited capacity. Register from 7th November by sending an email to reservas@museoralli.es, by calling 952 85 79 23 or at our reception window.
