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 "Writing a boat, building a story" by Florencia Rojas
Escribir una barca, construir una historia (Write a boat, build a story) is the title of an artistic practice workshop that explores formal and conceptual strategies for dealing with the stories of others, using art as a possible tool for political reflection. The workshop takes place in three sessions, from Thursday to Saturday.
Un paseo mecido. Diego Delas.
Visual artist Diego Delas has designed and conceptualized a series of banners that are a poetic tribute to the relationship between man and the Mediterranean Sea. Each banner, handmade from natural fabrics, incorporates shapes and symbols inspired by nature and the waves, evoking the light and colors of the coastline.
Foragers, 2022, Jumana Manna
The film Foragers depicts the problems associated with the practice of gathering wild edible plants in Palestine/Israel with ironic humor and a meditative rhythm. A mix of fiction, documentary and archival footage, it shows the impact of Israeli nature protection laws on these customs. Then conversation until 20:30.
Ay i-k marag (¡Oh! A ti, el huésped)
Ay i-k marag (Oh! To you, the guest) plunges into the world of the Amazigh island and the strategic position of the Canary Islands in the Atlantic, a traumatic and symbolic gateway to Western modernity. The activity proposes the construction of an immersive performance space to challenge hegemonic narratives and promote the recovery of Guanche knowledge and practices now partly silenced. An evocative space full of indigenous, African, European and non-Western fusions.
