From January to March takes place the winter mediation programme of Ecologies of Peace II, an exhibition resulting from the collaboration between TBA21 and C3A Andalucía. 
A complete schedule for all publics that includes workshops given by artists, children's and family activities, a concert of experimental music for babies, film screenings and talks. Some of these events are based on works from the exhibition. 

The aim of these activities is to generate spaces for meeting, listening and collective learning, encouraging dialogue on regenerative practices and peace-building projects in the local and international spheres. This interactive approach enriches the exhibition experience and invites reflection and collaboration on the challenges and opportunities posed by environmental and social regeneration.

*All activities are free of charge and require registration through TBA21's Eventbrite platform.

¿How does your body move?
Can we relate in different ways when we dance with other bodies?
What is the movement of an embrace? And of a conflict?
What path do we want to walk- and dance- together?

This workshop is a dance and movement research meeting. Based on the work Abrazos III, by Daniel Otero Torres, and the concept of peace as a series of social and individual practices, the group will play and dance with space and time. A scenic place will be created where the participants will mark the course of our journey.
