Programme
The first route of the museum ship will be the Mediterranean, an area of millennia of history and exchange, which has always mobilized and nourished the inspiration of artists, and naturally invites intercultural dialogue.
Discover the programme of activities on the quayside and in the towns: performances, concerts, conferences, screenings, workshops, meetings and other events.

Workshop "Potential Voids. Hijos del Relax" by Antonio R. Montesinos
"Hijos del Relax" is a workshop analyzing how tourism has transformed the Costa del Sol, affecting its territory, economy and identity. Based on "Relax Style", inspired by a trip along the N-340 in 1986, the project examines the colonization of the coastline by global capitalism during the last phase of Franco's dictatorship.
La Sequía: Juan Gallego Benot, Carmen Yruela, Laura Guastini, Carmen García, and Pablo Caldera
"La sequía: un oasis" presents the research of three flamenco artists - cantaora Carmen Yruela, guitarist Carmen García and bailaora Laura Guastini - through dance, changes in perception around drought and water control in a context of ecocide particularly notable in southern Spain.
Story of a lichen - Eduard Escoffet and Cristian Alcaraz
Histoire d'un lichen is a performance based on an iconic image: a computer screen with an idyllic, clean and crystalline Mediterranean beach, which conceals the presence of posidonia, a marine plant that has given the Mediterranean its characteristic color for millennia. Beneath this idealized surface lies the tension of a natural and social world subject to human boundaries, measurements and classifications.
Raft-building workshop
The Mediterranean has always been navigable and continues to be so for migration and trade purposes. We'll talk about the history of our sea and the stories of the various people who attempt to cross it to reach Europe from Africa. Meanwhile, we'll try to build a raft and set it afloat with the help of master carpenter Alfonso Sánchez-Guitard from the Nereo shipyard. We'll see if it floats on Sunday November 10 at 10:30 am.
