For another year running, the CGAC and the neighbourhood association A Xuntanza are collaborating on a programme of joint activities for the San Pedro neighbourhood festivities. This workshop offers an approach to the San Pedro neighbourhood with the aim of reimagining it through drawing, giving a second life to buildings that are currently unoccupied or abandoned.
Activities
The CGAC's Activities and Pedagogical Department develops its programme with a primary goal: to bring art to society through the rigorous analysis of critical issues inherent in contemporary artistic activity.
Film seasons and conferences, workshops, seminars and concerts, make up the centre’s fundamental offer of activities, aiming to involve a wide range of audiences from the professional sector of the world of art and culture to an increasingly larger group of artists and fine art and history students, not to mention all those interested in the evolution of art and aesthetic reflection.
At the same time, the CGAC develops specific programmes for schools and colleges as well as guided tours, with the purpose of providing the various groups who come to the museum with the necessary tools to understand contemporary art and, from there, the world we live in.

A photograph of someone with whom we share an emotional bond is always bound to raise questions…In this workshop, we will be working with family photographs, looking at them carefully, recapturing their context, scrutinising the details, concentrating on what is there as well as what is not. We will look beyond the image in close detail, looking at the back, the margins, the creases, the folds or the inscriptions.
