On May 18, the IVAM, with the proposals designed by the Inventory group, invites the public with an open microphone to review what the limits and prohibitions of the museum are: can you enter the museum with weapons? with marine animals? with antiques? The activity, which is entitled 'The cracks of NO', will close with a 'performance'. On the other hand, visitors will be able to bring to the museum any object they are curious about. What is a catenary for? How is it used? Can a 'pen' be an everyday object in a museum? The members of Inventario propose questions and imaginations about the objects that live inside the IVAM, as well as about objects that each one of us has at home.

On May 18, at 11:30 a.m., the IVAM will host the theatrical performance 'Petroli' by the Baccalaureate students of the IES Barri del Carme, an interdisciplinary educational project promoted by the museum that takes as its starting point the novel 'Julia' by Isabel-Clara Simó.

May 21, Night of the Museums

On the occasion of the Night of the Museums, the IVAM has organized a guided tour of the Carmen neighborhood that will have sound as the common thread. From the hand of the Societat Doctor Alonso and the Baccalaureate students of the IES Barri del Carme, a walk has been designed that uses tools typical of theater, the body, thought and cinema.

Another activity that will take place on May 21 and 22 will be 'Cossos capaços', a workshop included in the Programa d'art i context, by M. Reme Silvestre and the osteopath Daniela Cerón. Through emotional and psychosomatic exercises, they will relate the manual techniques of osteopathy, the body and its scars, and our own connection with the world around us.

An opera recital with the singers of the Center de Perfeccionament of the Palau de les Arts and guided tours of the exhibitions complete the program of the Museum Night.

activities for families

From May 16 to 20, the educational project 'Torna, Renau!' will close, carried out by IVAM together with a team of urban artists and twelve educational centres. On the occasion of International Museum Day, the IVAM will host different activities for families such as the 'Tape Park' and 'Esperant un joc' workshops. The girls and boys who have participated in 'L'extraordinari', an extracurricular artistic leisure activity at the IVAM, will also be the protagonists of a day in which they will show their work and the knowledge acquired with all the communities that have been created in around this educational project.

'IVAM in the territory'

Within the line 'L'IVAM al territori', biologist Luisa Abenza will give a conference on May 21 on bird tracking. The talk is part of the 'Dense Presents' cycle, which addresses the conflict that the Albufera de València Natural Park is experiencing.

On May 19, the IVAM opens the exhibition 'Art in a wasteland 1939-1959' at the Museu de Belles Arts de Castelló. The exhibition brings together around 150 works belonging, most of them, to the IVAM collection, with the aim of approaching the diversity of ways of doing things that produced a determining historical context: the end of the Civil War and the Second World War.
