The AMA Study Centre at Artium Museoa is a platform that works in close relation with the museum’s exhibition programme to provide a space for research in the contemporary art and the formats of production and expansion of knowledge and  critical research methodologies based on collaboration and experimentation.

In a context marked by social fragmentation, structural precariousness, and the crisis of traditional models of community, this initiative brings together works that explore other ways of being with one another, of narrating collectively, and of sustaining the common good.

The individuals and collectives featured in this program not only give voice to shared realities but also forge connections: they create spaces for encounter, platforms for viewing and listening, as well as collaborative processes that transcend the boundaries between art, archive, and life. In the face of the dominant individualistic logic, these practices reclaim interdependence, joy, care, and co-authorship as ways of producing meaning.

With Julia Martos (Córdoba, 1989), Lara Molina (Pamplona, 1991), Ros Murray (Oxford, UK, 1982), Charlotte Procter (London, 1984) and Ed Webb Ingall (London, 1982).

PROGRAMME

14 May 
6 to 7 pm. Auditorium
Julia Martos. Lecture: Una película sobre el pasado puede ser una una película para el futuro.

7 to 8 pm. Auditorium
Ros Murray. Lecture: Living and loving together: Bodies, communities, desires in queer feminist film and video practice.

This session explores how to live together through queer feminist and lesbian experimental film and video from the 1970s onwards. Drawing on Monique Wittig’s concept of the lesbian as a site of radical disidentification, and interpretations by Sam Bourcier, it examines how artists such as Barbara Hammer, Marcelle Thirache, Jennifer Burford, Maria Klonaris and Katherina Thomadaki, Vidéa, and Les Insoumuses represent alternative embodiments. These works challenge the idea of women as a “natural group” and instead propose lesbian communities as utopian spaces. Through experimental practices, they open up ways of rethinking bodies, relations, and collective existence beyond normative frameworks.

15 May 
11 am to 1 pm. Plaza Gallery
Charlotte Procter & Ed Webb Ingall. Taller de visionado colectivo.

In this session archivist and curator Charlotte Procter and filmmaker and researcher Ed Webb-Ingall will share films from Cinenova and London Community Video Archive to explore the intersections of queer and feminist filmmaking as models for living. Together, we will ask ‘What can we draw on from the way these works were made and shared in order to think through approaches to collective and communal production and representation?’.

Registrations: ikasketazentroa@artium.eus 

6 to 7 pm. Auditorium
Ed Webb Ingall. Lecture: The Story of British Video Activism.

7 to 8 pm. Auditorium
Lara Molina. Lecture: erraiak. Escuchar y activar contextos colectivos. 

erraiak is an art and context-based creation programme developed in Pamplona/Iruñea since 2019. It understands cultural production and mediation as tools for generating knowledge, relationships and affinities among participants. The project links artistic practice to its social and political context, enabling encounters between invited artists and agents. In 2026 it celebrates its fifth edition, continuing to listen to its context and activate shared experiences. It proposes a space where actions, conversations and practices can expand and continue growing beyond the programme itself.
