The Malpartida de Cáceres City Council's Livestock Trails Centre and the Vostell Malpartida Museum will host the international seminar "Art, Life, and Landscapes in Networks" from March 26 to 28. The event brings together national and international artists, researchers, and specialists to reflect on the role of art in transforming territories and communities.
The seminar is designed as a meeting space to share experiences in the creation and management of contemporary art in rural areas, highlighting the artistic and cultural potential of peripheral territories.
