PROGRAMMES

There is no art without community, which is why we build programmes with our audiences for joint reflection and action.

Beyond the concomitances and the production of artistic works, Concomitentes aims to delve into reflections that emerge from the practice itself. It is an open invitation to citizens to continue thinking together about how we can make a more inclusive society, while at the same time taking care of the planet. We generate different activities, research and meeting places that promote knowledge and debate on the issues that affect us, such as citizen participation, sustainability, mediation and contemporary art.

Mutations in public space

Mutations in public space

The pandemic has forced its way into the public space and this onslaught has brought to light political processes that had already been foreshadowed in recent decades: the growing normativisation of space, social inequality, distrust of the other, the dismantling of public or community initiatives and the desire for immediacy have been revealed more starkly in recent years.

In Between

In Between

The initiative 'In Between. For mediation in Europe that strengthens communities' aims to intensify a type of cultural mediation that strengthens democracy and citizen participation. Among its main objectives are to give visibility to artistic and cultural mediation practices; to generate knowledge exchange and content production; and to provide spaces for mutual support between people and institutions.
Mediation under discussion

Mediation under discussion

Mediation is listening, desire and frustration, but also negotiation, trust and, above all, bonding. We propose this experimental research as a place from which to delve into the tensions and complexities brought about by such a necessary action in culture as mediation, a mechanism from which to generate spaces of enunciation.

Concomitentes is organising the Sustainability Governance Day, which will take place on Friday, 14 October from 4pm at the Royal Botanical Garden in Madrid and aims to explore alternative models of governance that promote democracy, as well as to fuel the debate on the most pressing social issues related to sustainability and the challenges set by the 2030 Agenda.
