Canción para muchos movimientos. Escenarios de creación colectiva
Un experimento efímero en que la planta baja del museo se convierte en escenario de encuentros, conversaciones y escuchas compartidas.
Canción para muchos movimientos es una invitación a concebir el espacio expositivo como un espacio por habitar. Es un despliegue de experiencias situadas, archivos encarnados y cuerpos de investigación que emergen del trabajo transversal del museo y su más allá. Más que una exposición es un ensayo en distintos modos de exponerse y sostenerse mutuamente. Los materiales reunidos remiten a procesos de creación colectiva del presente, a la vez que invocan las historias que constituyen la memoria viva de lo que vendrá. El proyecto se articula a partir de un programa público intensivo —charlas, conversaciones, poesía, artes en vivo y radio en directo— que aspira a convertir el espacio expositivo del museo en un ágora pública a lo largo de seis semanas.
En diálogo con este programa de encuentros, Canción para muchos movimientos despliega un complejo dispositivo documental que incluye obras audiovisuales, publicaciones, obra gráfica y materiales de archivo pertenecientes a más de cincuenta artistas y colectivos. Estos materiales forman constelaciones en torno a casos de estudio específicos de cine militante, video comunitario o imprentas cooperativas a la vez que se exploran alianzas y redes de solidaridad a través del tiempo y en distintas geografías: desde el Festival Panafricano de Argel de 1969, la Exposición Internacional Palestina celebrada en Beirut en 1978, pasando por el Museo Internacional de la Resistencia (1973–1989), hasta la emergencia de nuevas formas de activismo y agitación cultural en torno a la crisis del VIH/sida que pone en evidencia que toda enfermedad es política.
Comisariada por María Berríos y Sabel Gavaldon.

The Soils Project
‘The Soils Project’ is part of an eponymous, long-term research initiative involving TarraWarra Museum of Art (Wurundjeri Country, Australia), the Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven, Netherlands) and Struggles for Sovereignty, a collective based in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It works through specific and situated practices that consider soil, as both metaphor and matter.
Seeking and facilitating opportunities to listen to diverse voices and perspectives around notions of caring for land, soil and sovereign territories, the project has been in development since 2018. An international collaboration between three organisations, and several artists, curators, writers and activists, it has manifested in various iterations over several years. The group exhibition ‘Soils’ at the Van Abbemuseum is part of Museum of the Commons. -
