Black Awareness Day in Brazil
Art to Rescue Our Ancestry
To celebrate Black Awareness Day on 20 November, the figure of Zumbi dos Palmares, a key figure in the fight against slavery in Brazil, will be commemorated on the same date of his murder. The Maloka Association, in collaboration with Museo Situado, will pay homage via a collective concert which, through music, dance and the interventions of anti-racist projects such as Espacio Conciencia Afro (the Afro Awareness Space) and the Sindicato de Manteros (the Union of Street Vendors), honours the legacy of the Black and Afro-descendent population in Brazil.

The Art of Disquiet
A Philosophical Walk with Marina Núñez
The Museo Reina Sofía joins with the Festival de las Ideas (the Festival of Ideas), a new event which operates under the slogan “Thought Takes to the Streets” and comes into being with the aim of disseminating contemporary theory and, in the process, filling Madrid’s streets, squares and cultural spaces with concepts. In its first edition, which orbits around catharsis, the Museo welcomes a reflective walk around the Collection, led by artist Marina Núñez.

Performance Day
Reactivations of the Performance Work of James Lee Byars and Miguel Benlloch
The performances of James Lee Byars (Detroit, Michigan, 1932 – Cairo, 1997) bring together the aesthetic and life concerns of this unique artist. In conjunction with the exhibition the Museo Reina Sofía devotes to the artist, under the title James Lee Byars. Perfect Is the Question, and inside the framework of the programme Living Matter. Other Approaches to Material, this day re-stages, over two sessions, a selection of James Lee Byars’s performances, which open a dialogue with his visual work inside the space of the show. In the form of a coda, the activity also includes the presentation of a new performance conceived specifically for the occasion, Acaeció en Granada, which explores Byars’s relationship with the artist Miguel Benlloch (Loja, Granada, 1954 – Seville, 2018) in the city of Granada.
