Viquiproject Corpus València

The Corpus Christi festival in Valencia is the city's biggest festival and, in order to disseminate all its festive elements, it must be present where everyone consults every time they have an information query: the Viquipèdia.

The free information that is currently available on the most consulted online encyclopaedia in the world is insufficient and can be improved. 

L'ETNO wants to take the opportunity of the future exhibition Espill de festa. El Corpus, which will be inaugurated in July, to open a parallel viquiproject to improve free knowledge about the Corpus Christi festival in the city of Valencia. This project will be developed in collaboration between L'ETNO, the Department of Festive Culture of the City Council of Valencia, Amical Wikimedia and Wikimedia Spain.

The viquiproject will have three main activities: a wikitakes to be held on the weekend of the Corpus celebrations, a photographic competition and a viquimarathon to edit textual content.

1- The wikitakes is a meeting whose aim is to photograph a geographical space or an event and then release the images on Wikimedia Commons. This project, a sister project of Viquipèdia, feeds the free encyclopaedia with images and audiovisual resources. In the case of Corpus Christi in Valencia, there is a lack of graphic resources about the festival, so the aim is to document all the elements and manifestations of the festive calendar. From 17 to 19 June, it will be easy to find viquipedistas, with their cameras, living the festival in the street to be able to document everything and, later, to release it. 

2- A photographic competition will be held among all the photographs about the Corpus Christi that are released on Wikimedia Commons. In this case, the contest is not limited to the city of Valencia, but is extended to all Valencian towns that celebrate this festival. 

L'ETNO is looking for collaboration to fill the most consulted encyclopaedia in the world with Valencian Corpus Christi. The first step is to enjoy the festival and take lots of photographs; the perfect excuse for the weekend of 17-19 June.

3- The viquimarathon is a meeting of people interested in editing. In this case, on the elements of the Corpus Christi festival, with the aim of creating new articles in the Viquipèdia or improving existing ones with new bibliographical references. This viquimarathon will be held at the ETNO Library once the exhibition Espill de Festa is open.

Workshop

Burning el Maestrat filmat

An exhibition-based TikTok workshop in the "El Maestrat Filmat".

The exceptional nature and value of the images recovered fin the project El Maestrat Filmat confronts us with documents of great heritage value. But, luckily or unfortunately, times have changed a lot since these images were recorded and people's respect and relationship with these films has changed a lot.

The current use of the image makes these recovered films a rare bird, an estrangement within the chaotic amalgamation of the contemporary image with which we live and to which we are exposed on a daily basis.

Taking  all this as a pretext, L'ETNO proposeS to carry out a conference-workshop around the image-archive. A session where you can reflect on the use of the archive in the current audiovisual while experimenting with this type of images.

Relectures

Museum itineraries with a gender perspective

The network of Museum Itineraries in a gender perspective incorporates the gender perspective into the cultural visit to the museum. A perspective that studies the cultural and social constructions that are specific to men and women, that which identifies the feminine and the masculine. This network offers visitors to the participating museums a different reading of the collections on display, with the aim of promoting gender equality in the face of diversity. 

L'ETNO, Museu Valencià d'Etnologia has developed a gender itinerary or tour, selecting a set of pieces and spaces from its permanent collection that show significant interest in relation to gender representations. Visitors can consult and download the information and material necessary to follow the proposed routes at www.relecturas.es. 

These itineraries do not focus exclusively on the figure of women, but also explore representations of men and masculinity, as well as the presence of transgender identities, third genders or alternative genders to the Western dual system of sex/gender. They also focus on aspects such as gender ideology and systems, stereotypes and roles, relations between spaces, history and gender, etc. 

Some of the objectives of the Relecturas network are to contribute to the knowledge and dissemination of Valencian cultural heritage, to promote intercultural dialogue, to strengthen links between Valencian museums, and to boost cultural tourism. It also seeks to teach values of respect, coexistence and tolerance in order to achieve real and effective equality between women and men.

Concert

N3RDISTAN

Peripheral Ethnomusic: concerts for a young audience!

N3rdistan is a French-Moroccan band that [re]thinks and mixes different dimensions, epochs, cultures, styles and instruments, from hip-hop, rap, electro-rock to the most traditional Arab melodies. All this with the voice of the disconcerting and fascinating Walead Ben Selim, who recovers part of the Moroccan poetry and presents his own songs. 

After three years of touring around the world, the group dedicated itself exclusively to creating this work, an unprecedented mix of committed poems and urban music. An album on the verge of trip hop and traditional music, with Arabic poetry as guest of honour, opening the doors of the digital century. Sixteen songs with a burning melancholy that intones a hymn to the glory of the word, with strong texts by Gibran Khalil, Nizar Qabbani, the poet of women, or Nazek El Malaeka, founder of free poetry and great defender of women's conditions in the Middle East. 

Walead Ben Selim (vocals), Widad Mjama (vocals and programming)

Concert

Maui: By magic

Peripheral Ethnomusic: concerts for a young audience!

Maui has been able to create a character and a universe. Far from any known label - the Björk of Utrera, the Lady Gaga of flamenco, the Woody Allen of song, a singer-actress...─. Maui, a singer sponsored by Maribel Quiñones Martirio, is one of a kind, she is a weaver of stories that weave emotions that take us from laughter to tears and who, live, displays an overflowing talent that shows a rich amalgam of influences. 

The songs on his fifth album, Por Arte de Magia (2019), are a bouquet of fresh songs and a kaleidoscope of magic without tricks, colouring realities with no magic wand other than his stories told and sung.  But much more than a concert, Maui proposes with this show, a journey, an experience in which poetry, rhythm, theatre and humour coexist... and an invisible emotion that generates the surprise when the characters of the songs break the fourth wall and manage to trick the audience into their adventures.

Maui (vocals and cello), Josete Ordoñez (flamenco guitar), Kiko Martín and Noé Barroso (hand clapping, backing vocals and choreography).

The Maestrat on film

Images and a territory. The ghosts of the past confront the present

“El Maestrat Filmat” is a audiovisual project that brings to the present the different views that have been responsible for immortalizing this territory of inland Castelló (the north part of the Valencian country) throughout the last century. A proposal that aims to reflect on the visual imagery of this eminently rural territory. During the project, more than 20 film archive collections from towns such as Albocàsser, Benassal, Catí or Ares del Maestrat have been located and preserved.

This exhibition proposal is an adaptation of this documentary project. In the first part of the visit, the construction of the archive is presented. A constellation of images that show its origin, scope and context of creation, each one with its own characteristics. Discovering these collections will help us rethink their mere existence and reproduction, as well as their importance as documentary (intangible) heritage. Inside we can enjoy an audiovisual installation, a reconstruction of the interactive web documentary “El Maestrat Filmat-La Memòria Rescatada”.

Treasures with history

Temporary exhibition related to the TV programme "Tresors amb història".

Exhibition related to the TV show "Tresors amb història".
