TOMA(R) MADRID
Decolonial art-ographies
Programme
Toma(r) Madrid involves the fields of art, decolonial studies and migration. Its organisers aim to conduct interdisciplinary research focusing on the production of decolonial knowledge regarding urban spaces via the production of art-ographies of the city. Their goal is to explore the knowledge generated by migrant teens in regard to the learning communities and decolonial know-how present in the city of Madrid. The project explores knowledge generated outside of the scholastic environment, i.e., knowledge that reproduces the “colonial difference” due to the fact that it is minority, non-academic and non-scholastic knowledge consisting of know-how and practices found in a migratory setting criss-crossed by different racial, class-based, age and gender configurations.
Toma(r) Madrid represents the launch of a collective, practical and experimental research project in which young people act on various levels: as participants in a collective learning space; as subjects who research practices and know-how arising among the youth in an urban space (Madrid); and, finally, as the protagonists of a process entailing the production of art-ographies of the city.
Programme of secondary school meetings and presentations in the districts of Salamanca and Usera and launch of the programme of workshops between artists and the group of participating young people.
Toma(r) Madrid is a project led by Mafe Moscoso and Susana Moliner Delgado. It is part of the One City, Many Worlds creation and research programme.
