Prior registration required until full capacity is reached HERE

This activity, organized in collaboration with SEO BirdLife Córdoba, consists of two parts: the first, inspired by the Tuftings of artist Cristina Lucas, features a map of Spain showing the intensity of the bombings during the Civil War in various regions, which will lead to a discussion about biodiversity in Córdoba during that period. The second part is a field trip, taking us on a bird-watching route through Sierra Morena, specifically exploring the remnants of the conflict's trenches and an island of resistance where the last maquis of Córdoba took refuge.

BACK TO FLY
Paper airplane workshop by Rafael Jiménez. For children aged 6 to 12
November 9 and 29, from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM
Education Room
Prior registration required until full capacity is reached HERE

Using tools from modeling, drawing, recycling, origami, and sculpture, this workshop explores volume and approaches installation by working with the image and concept of the paper airplane as a childhood game. The activity takes Fiona Banner's Parade, featured in the exhibition, as a reference and inspiration. Imagining an end to war and a state of peace where the defensive element of the warplane is deactivated, the workshop proposes a game around its form as a benign, deactivated element, encouraging reflection on flight as an inherent human desire and its ecological consequences.

Andalusia has traditionally held a prominent, geostrategic position in the use of various essential resources for human activities. The metals from these lands attracted the Phoenicians; the Romans drastically altered the landscape with their mining and agricultural activities, continuing through to the present day with renewable energies. Gold, silver, copper, oil, lithium, cobalt, coltan, and many others are materials of great relevance in technological and cultural development. They have sparked intense economic activity around them and even global armed conflicts. Groups of three to five people will work from different perspectives and disciplines on how these local/global natural elements have radically transformed the surrounding culture and others that seem distant but are part of global dynamics. The workshop will be divided into three sessions:

• Session 1: Parameters and historical/practical context will be established, and groups and materials to work with will be defined.
• Session 2: Visual and conceptual formalization of the chosen materials.
• Session 3: Installation of the combined conclusions.

Throughout the process, the phases will be filmed, creating an audiovisual piece that will be disseminated through channels deemed appropriate for the project.
