Art, school and long-term work
The program began after a first experience in the 2014-2015 academic year and continued later with new residences in public schools. CA2M presents this work as a line sustained over time, focused on collaboration between artists and the school community. This approach allows the projects not to function as isolated activities, but as processes that are inserted into the life of the center and open questions about the relationship between art and education.
Residencies, seminars and documentation
The program has been deployed in different formats. In one of its phases, CA2M developed three residencies in three public schools on the outskirts of Madrid: María Jerez at CP Parque Aluche, the El Banquete collective at CP Juan Pérez Villamil and Amalia Fernández at CP Beato Simón de Rojas. Along with these experiences, the center organized seminars to share projects and discuss collaborative strategies between artists, teachers, families, educators and researchers.
The Triangle: An Expansion of the Program
Within this trajectory, El Triángulo expands the program’s research into the field of sound. CA2M defines it as an educational project that connects a primary school, a choir and an orchestra based on listening, noise and silence as engines of creation. This evolution maintains the logic of stable collaboration that characterizes the program and shows its ability to open new forms of work between art, education and public institutions.
