DIARY

Six projects shortlisted for phase 2 of the ‘Youth Art for Sustainability Call’.’

Those shortlisted will have until Friday, 21 June, to further develop their initial idea, after which a presentation will be made to the jury from which the winning proposal will emerge.

Key questions and answers to apply for the 2024 call for proposals

We also share the full video of the briefing that took place last Monday, 6 May. 

Searching for fossils

First of the stories that make up the mediation path initiated with the project.

Of masterships, heroics and mediations

Reflection on the process of mediation in its last phase, a moment in which issues such as forms of governance or the constructed link that will remain once the artistic production is concluded come up.

The new call for young people seeking to address an environmental challenge through an artistic process has arrived.

This year the selection process has been simplified and will have two phases. The first phase, in which the basic concepts of the project will be presented through a form, will be open until Monday, 20 May. The online information session will be held on 6 May.

The video of the online workshop is now available: "Nature Based Solutions and art. A relationship to explore".

The meeting, given by Juan del Río, took place last Thursday, 21 March, and sought to rethink what the contribution of art can be to the production of sustainable artistic works.

The book 'Dancing Diversity' looks at the party as a space of celebration for all bodies.

The publication, which will include texts signed by the mediator-curator Veronica Valentini, the artist Osías Yanov, the activist Antonio Centeno and Brigitte Vasallo and Bob Pop, among others, will be available in your trusted bookshops.

Job offer for project and partnership manager

The new person, who would become part of the coordination office team, will have among his or her tasks to identify new sources of funding and opportunities for innovation and development of the organisation.

The artist, Asunción Molinos Gordo, begins to imagine her production together with the villagers of Couso.

I am talking to them, picking them out and asking them questions to which they all answer, calmly, expanding and letting memories, memories, bodies, experiences, desires, territory, illusion but also discomfort and fear of a process that, for now, they visualise as inconcrete and diffuse. 

Concomitentes launches the ‘Mental Care Programme for Cultural Mediation’.’

The initiative will include a voucher of individualised psychology sessions for the organisation's team; an annual collective self-care session; the publication of the ‘Guide for a nice treatment’, with lessons to share with the project's collaborators; and a ‘Work climate survey’ in 2027.

The publishing house Triqueta Verde relaunches the illustrated short story, 'Hospitalario' by El Hematocrítico and Cynthia Hierro

The book, which is already in bookshops throughout Spain in Galician, Spanish and Catalan, is one of the three artistic works of Concomitentes' 'Paediatric ICU' project, which aims to support nursing staff in the emotional care of paediatric patients.

Concomitentes, recognised at the Observatory of Culture for its social commitment in 2023

Thanks to our founding patron, the Daniel and Nina Carasso Foundation, Concomitentes is in second place in the ranking of exemplary projects for its social commitment and sustainable development in 2023.

Goodbye 2023... and happy 2024!

We look back on the main milestones of 2023 and thank all of you who have joined us.

Professor Selina Blasco, new matron of Concomitentes

Selina Blasco, lecturer in the Department of Art History at the Complutense University of Madrid and lecturer in the Faculty of Fine Arts, will replace the Director of the Banco Sabadell Foundation, Sonia Mulero.

The artist Asunción Molinos Gordo will create a work with the community of Montes de Couso.

The artistic proposal based on nature, which the contemporary artist will produce in a participatory process together with the community, seeks to raise awareness of the ways of managing the communal forest so that future generations can maintain its legacy.
