Territorio Mudéjar participates one more year in the workshop of the Polytechnic of Milan and the Academy of Fine Arts of Brera: CortonaOpen3D. This is a course specialising in “SmartCityDesign” (smart city design) in a Cultural Heritage context and will be held from 1 to 10 August in the Italian town of #Cortona (in the province of Arezzo, Tuscany). Due to the health situation, there will be a combination of face-to-face and online training.
The workshop lasts approximately 100 hours divided between classroom lessons, lectures and project workshops in which between 50 and 100 international students participate. In this meeting, the participants develop a SmartCityDesigns project within the city of Cortona.
In this framework, Victoria E. Trasobares Ruiz, director of Territorio Mudéjar, will be one of the invited specialists. Her conference will focus on: “Territorio Mudéjar, a strategic example of heritage management: the project behind the projects”, as an example of innovative management of historical and artistic heritage in rural areas.
The director of Territorio Mudéjar will give this lesson from #Tobed (Zaragoza) through the digital platform set up for the workshop. It will also be the starting point of the many and varied activities to which the internship students of the #ChallengeProgramme 2021, the initiative financed by the Council of Zaragoza and managed through Universa, the Guidance and Employment Service of the University of Zaragoza, will be able to attend.
We continue to publicise Territorio Mudéjar and Mudejar heritage through our entity’s dissemination and communication actions. We have been in the Cultural Association El Allondero de Belchite where we talked about the importance of creating networks in rural areas and of counting on the inhabitants of our
villages, thus advancing in our mission to strengthen a unified and collaborative management network for the use of historical-artistic resources linked to the important Mudejar heritage, understanding them as an engine of development of the villages and as an element of identity for the maintenance of the communities that make up our territory.
The temporary and itinerant exhibition Mudejar 20th Anniversary World Heritage is already touring our Territorio Mudéjar. It will be inaugurated on 21 July in Ricla and can be visited until the end of the year in the different partner towns of Territorio Mudéjar. It is part of the commemorative events we are celebrating on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the declaration of the Zaragoza Mudejar as World Heritage.
Those interested will find intelligent signposting and an exhibition focused on in situ learning for all audiences.
The first place where the exhibition will be on display is Ricla and it can be visited in the old consulting room of the strait (Doña Clara street, nº 12) from 18.00 to 20.00 until Sunday 27th. We will keep you informed about the next venues.
The exhibition project has been made possible thanks to the collaboration of Adri Calatayud-Aranda and the Leader grants from the Aragon Rural Development Programme 2014-2020.
As we have told you on other occasions, we work with Adri Calatayud Aranda on different projects. Specifically, within the “Asociación Territorio Mudéjar Centro de Innovacion rural” we have worked on the signposting and the itinerant dissemination by means of mobile boards of the recently inaugurated exhibition.
The Association for the Integral Rural Development of the Community of Calatayud and Comarca del Aranda (Adri Calatayud-Aranda) and Territorio Mudéjar already have the plaque that accredits their participation in the project “Asociación Territorio Mudéjar Centro de Innovación Rural”, framed in the Rural Development Programme 2014-2021.
Thanks to the help of this project we have:
Devised and implemented a virtual work platform that is a very good tool for networking through new technologies.
Designed at the headquarters of Territorio Mudéjar, in the Mudejar Museum of Tobed, a pilot interdisciplinary workspace and possible ‘coworking’ for the development of research and scientific projects and that can serve as a model and reference for the network studying municipal spaces that can be shared workplaces.
Worked on the signposting and dissemination of the travelling exhibition Mudejar 20th Anniversary World Heritage by means of mobile boards. This exhibition can be seen until Sunday 27th in the old consulting room of the Ricla strait from 18.00 to 20.00 and will be moved to the different towns of Territorio Mudéjar throughout the year.
If you would like to make the most of the summer to learn more about Mudejar art or deepen your knowledge of subjects related to our Territorio Mudéjar and its history and heritage, we invite you to participate in some of the extraordinary courses of the University of Zaragoza programmed or related to our towns.
It is coordinated by José Luis Cortés, tutor professor at the UNED Calatayud, with the collaboration of Victoria Trasobares Ruiz, director of Territorio Mudéjar.
The aim is to study first hand the Mudejar art of the regions of Aranda, Calatayud, Daroca and Valdejalón by means of detailed visits to all the most outstanding monuments, which are characterised by having preserved the original Mudejar spaces to the present day. The aim is to delve into the geographical, historical, ethnographic and artistic framework that allowed Aragonese Mudejar art to be declared a World Heritage Site in 2001.
The course addresses the different challenges that cultural heritage management faces today, with the new referential framework set by the Sustainable Development Goals and concepts such as “cultural rights”. For this purpose, a series of lectures and round tables have been programmed to address the problems, but above all the potentialities around very diverse issues that Cultural Heritage and its management as a tool for social change have in common: inclusion, universal accessibility, sustainability, local development, depopulation…
Victoria Trasobares Ruiz, director of Territorio Mudéjar, participates as a speaker.
The theory will have a practical application in the laboratory, with workshop sessions that will include work on the classification and analysis of skeletal and mummified remains exhumed from El Piquete de Quinto.
The aim of the course in Quinto is to approach the Museo de Momias, the first of its kind in Spain, through guided tours of the facilities and an exhibition of the preventive conservation methodology carried out by the Instituto de Estudios Científicos en Momias (IECIM).
It is coordinated by José Luis Cortés, tutor lecturer at the UNED in Calatayud and Fabián Mañas, PhD in Art History. The aim is to study and disseminate the artistic heritage of the towns that make up the Campo de Daroca region and the Community of Calatayud . Among them all, Bartolomé Bermejo stands out, whose entry into the artistic panorama of Daroca meant an aesthetic and technical revolution in the seventies of the 15th century.
With the slogan “The future of museums: recovering and reimagining”, today Territorio Mudéjar joins the celebration of International Museum Day 2021.
The aim this year is to invite museums, their professionals and communities to create, imagine and share new practices of (co)creation of value, new business models for cultural institutions and innovative solutions to the social, economic and environmental challenges of today.
This commemoration was created in 1977 by the International Council of Museums (ICOM) to raise public awareness of what these centres contribute to the development of society.
We share with you the videos about some of the museums of our Territorio Mudéjar:
The pedagogical nature and the use of new technologies in the field of heritage management were the focus of the third interregional meeting of the European project MOMAr (IEEE3 From theory to practice.Experimental Models of Management Tested) in which we have participated this week as an attending “stakeholder”.
This event has allowed us to learn and be inspired by the initiatives that are being carried out in the field of Management of Singular Rural Heritage in all the countries participating in the project. This meeting has also allowed the use of cultural and natural spaces for the direct benefit and enjoyment of the population.
Thus, the Daroca Town Hall announced the International Early Music Festival, which, with almost half a century of history, has become a world reference. Both training courses and concerts are attended every year by hundreds of professionals and lovers of early music from all over the world. It is a meeting that brings together the immense local architectural and historical heritage with international art and culture. The festival’s director, Javier Artigas, took the opportunity to confirm that this year’s edition will take place from 3 to 10 August. The broadcast of this experience was made from the church of San Miguel.
Territorio Mudéjar has participated this Thursday in the second meeting of the European project MOMAr, a pioneering meeting with entities of the province linked to cultural heritage.
The event, with the aim of being a meeting point and a space to create new synergies within the sector, was held in an on-line format open to the public, with the participation of more than 50 professionals linked to heritage management and a streaming audience of more than 200 interested people.
In the session, we explained how we work to be a hub of rural innovation and follow strategies of:
Research: with stays and professional internships in rural areas.
Communication, dissemination and knowledge: with the inhabitants as protagonists, working to attract national and international entities to the territory, taking advantage of the World Heritage brand; and working carefully with the media.
Investment and future projects: Working with specialised teams in calls for funding and building virtual workspaces to strengthen collaboration strategies.
In addition, we have explained our role based on:
Use the heritage space from a disruptive point of view and directly linked to the local development of the communities.
The strengthening of historical-artistic heritage management thinking as a strategy, which affects multiple actions, and cultural management as a tool.
Attraction of professionals to the rural environment on a permanent basis, facilitating its implementation.
The evidence that the only way to have more significant results is through the strengthening of networking and the acquisition of roles within the network.
The need to exchange good practices without losing sight of the fact that it is not enough to replicate but to think about how it works in your territory and the assets on which your management is based.
And we talked about our commitment to professionalization understood as quality, projects and results.
At Territorio Mudéjar we strive to develop Mudejar heritage management practices that foster responsible, sustainable tourism designed by those in the places where the heritage is located, always in conjunction with their inhabitants. We are convinced that preservation, research and dissemination of the Mudejar identity are key factors in the creation of tourism activities.
To consolidate this aim and share best practices, from today until November 13, we will be attending the second Interregional Event for Exchange of Experiences 2 (IEE 2), held in the province of Groningen, in the north of the Netherlands, entitled “Heritage, further than tourism: a sustainable future”.
Researcher Irene Ruiz Bazán (professor at the Polytechnic of Turin and Territorio Mudéjar fieldwork researcher) was in charge of moderating the good practice seminars in which several towns belonging to our network stood out in the presentation of unique projects.
The mayor of Torrellas, María Pilar Pérez, presented the Miau urban art project, which has been in place in the town since 2016.
From Alagón, as part of the Heritage and Education seminar, Julián Millán and Pablo Sebastián discussed the interesting work they are doing at the Ribera Alta del Ebro Workshop School.
And from Daroca, Irene Ruiz mentioned the work being done in Territorio Mudéjar, with contributions from researchers Ricardo Monreal and Marta López – 2020 Fieldwork grants – in the Mudejar civil architecture management project, which they are carrying out in accordance with the objectives of the new Fundación Campo de Daroca management body, reaching an important milestone by converting the Palacio de los Luna into a benchmark and a management model for private civil architecture.
On Friday, streaming from the Museo de Momias in Quinto, it will be time to look to the future in the conclusion sessions and also in the workshop on rural heritage management in the era of COVID-19, an issue that Territorio Mudéjar has thoroughly addressed so as to remain active while complying with all the safety measures and ensuring the safety of our visitors, but also, above all, that of the inhabitants of our towns.
Moreover, we have launched a multiplatform digital work solution in order to continue progressing with our projects online, aiming to work in an effective, innovative manner with historical and artistic resources, to the benefit of Mudejar heritage and our region.
Territorio Mudéjar has a strong presence in this forum, in which up to 12 people from our network are participating: students in the Challenge Program, members of city councils like those of Villarreal de Huerva and Maluenda, 2019 and 2020 fieldwork researchers, and more.
* Territorio Mudéjar is a member of MOMAr Interreg Europe (Models of Management for Singular Rural Heritage / Modelos de Gestión para el Patrimonio Rural Singular), which, under the leadership of the Provincial Government of Zaragoza and funded by the European Union, involves entities from six different countries.
At this event, we exchanged good practices in managing sustainable rural heritage with a focus on people
Territorio Mudéjar traveled to the French island of Corsica to take part in a meeting of the MOMAr Interreg Europe project*, an initiative led by the Provincial Government of Zaragoza for the purpose of designing new rural heritage management models that foster sustainable development and adapt to the specific features of each region.
There, we exchanged good practices on a highly interesting topic: “Without people, there are no resources: local management exchanges observing efficiency, sustainability and demographic fragility”. This idea is in Territorio Mudéjar’s genes, since we work as a network around heritage resources in the Mudejar field, always closely linked to the towns and their inhabitants. We are convinced that heritage is alive and evolving because it is part of a context that is lived in, urban, and in the midst of people.
Some of the inspirational examples of heritage management that we learned about include the Route of the Romanesque in Germany, the monumental churches and farms in Groningen (the Netherlands), the efforts to preserve traditional Romanian embroidery on blouses in Mehedinti county and, of course, two projects from Aragon: the sustainable networked management of Territorio Mudéjar and promotion of the ancient village of Belchite (Provincial Government of Zaragoza).
Territorio Mudéjar discussed the management of cultural heritage as a possible strategy for the future. We believe that places in which historical, cultural and natural heritage resources are managed in a conscientious and intelligent manner are resilient, distinctive and identity-based. Places for investment, development and future.
Our efforts are based on these foundations, and this is how we have explained it at the meeting, in addition to discussing how our unified, collaborative network for heritage management works, and talking about all aspects of the Mudejar (architecture, urban design, landscape, popular culture and more) and about the projects we are implementing.
Together, we strive to design new strategies for rural heritage management that foster sustainable development and adapt to the unique identity of each region.
Our hosts gave us a first-hand view of how they work at the Corsican Movable Heritage Conservation and Restoration Center (CCRPMC) located at Fort Charlet in the town of #Calvi, which is in charge of safeguarding the knowledge, preservation and promotion of this heritage. There, we discovered their resources and magnificent artistic and religious heritage.
We also traveled to the city of Corte to learn about the project for the transformation of its citadel, built in the 15th century, and its watchtower, which presides over the entire city. In addition, we also visited the temporary exhibitions at the Museum of Corsica.
*MOMAr is the acronym for the project name: Models of Management for Singular Rural Heritage.
