2/ Context

The Cultural Landscape, if defined in its most orthodox sense as “the result of the interaction over time between people and the natural environment, expressed as a territory perceived and valued for its cultural qualities, the product of a process and the foundation of a community’s identity”, in the area covered by the Territorio Mudéjar association of villages, we could talk about a monumental, historical-artistic, tangible or intangible heritage, the understanding of which requires knowledge of the urban or natural environment in which it is located and the history of the villages through the economic activities of their inhabitants, which in most cases is directly linked to the uses of the landscape that have historically sustained the communities.

Wine landscape, cultural landscape

Twenty of the forty-nine member towns of the Territorio Mudéjar network are part of a protected designation of origin for wine. Specifically, the PDOs of Cariñena, Calatayud and Campo de Borja.

The vineyard landscape and the historical wine production process form part of the idiosyncrasy of the towns belonging to Territorio Mudéjar, bearing in mind that the use of natural resources, historical economic processes and the history of the towns have been fundamental in understanding the current locations and their heritage identity. Occasionally, this has generated significant economic prosperity, which may have been the origin of many of the monumental, urban or landscape heritage sites that we preserve today. A landscape, shaped as a wine landscape since the 2nd century AD, has been a key feature and determining factor to this day.

In this regard, the year 2025 is indisputably linked to the selection of the city of Cariñena as European Wine City 2025, an award promoted by RECEVIN, the European Network of Wine Cities.

To support the work programme developed by the city of Cariñena during 2025, the Territorio Mudéjar association has designed a special call for applications within the Artistic Residency category to investigate, from the methodology of art practice, the framework for proposals on heritage, art and cultural landscape.

NEW CALL FOR APPLICATIONS 2025-2026: Support for the designation of Cariñena as European Wine City 2025

The new call for artistic residencies and stays for 2025-2026 incorporates strategic alliances with various collaborating entities and national and international projects that will enable issues of interest for the management and conservation of Mudejar heritage resources and their short-, medium- and long-term impact on the partner towns of Territorio Mudéjar to be addressed.

This scholarship is part of the Laboratory Project for “Artistic Residencies” that works in the villages of the Mudéjar Territory to raise their profile as spaces for thought where new paths can be explored through artistic thinking.

Proposals may be integrated into any of the artistic disciplines or present a combination of disciplines: visual arts, music, dance, theatre, audiovisual and transmedia languages, design and technological languages, etc.

Proposals must include plans for a STAY in a selection of villages in the Mudéjar Territory in order to measure the impact of the actual residence or stay in the territory by proposing a dialogue with the environment and local communities in which it is located.

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS: Research stays and projects 2025

6th Call for Applications for Research Stays for Projects and Artist Residencies “Gonzalo M. Borrás Gualis”

Submission deadline: Until October 31, 2025

Territorio Mudéjar announces the SIXTH EDITION of Gonzalo M. Borrás Gualis research stays and projects aimed at directly supporting the work of researchers and project promoters who want to work on the development of villages through the responsible and sustainable use of cultural and natural heritage resources.

The projects carried out since 2019 have strengthened this initiative as one of our initiative as one of our most important lines of of our most important lines of work based on the development of actions that enhance the retention and attraction of talent, actions aimed at the construction of highly qualified professional networks networks linked to the use of historical, artistic and cultural resources , contributing to medium- and long-term territorial development.artistic and cultural resources , contributing to medium and long-term territorial development.

Territorio Mudéjar is an association of local councils, currently comprising 49 member councils and one collaborating partner, whose objective is to consolidate a unified and collaborative management network for the use of historical and artistic resources linked to the important Mudéjar heritage, understanding them as a driving force for the development of towns and as an element of identity for the maintenance of the communities that make up our territory.

Our action program follows strategic lines aligned with the objectives of the 2030 Agenda, whose guiding principle is that “the cultural identity of territories will contribute to sustainable social and economic development by differentiating markets and, in turn, enabling their integration into a diversified economy that can ensure their future success.”

This project is dedicated to Professor Gonzalo M. Borrás Gualis, a staunch defender of the management of Aragonese heritage, villages, and territory, as an action of the people and as an innovative field of work with a promising future.

His work exemplified with perfect coherence the possibility of combining research work of high scientific impact with a commitment to the land and its people. of high scientific impact with a commitment to the land and its people, not only favouring the knowledge, conservation and dissemination of its historical-artistic heritage, but also by modernising work processes and by proposing innovative innovation projects in which natural, cultural and heritage resources are a key element in the future of the towns.

Transdisciplinary thinking, networking, and partnerships as tools for innovation

RESEARCH STAYS FOR PROJECTS. THE OPPORTUNITY TO FORM ALLIANCES WITH STRATEGIC ENTITIES AND PROFESSIONALS TO DEVELOP PROJECTS WITH GREATER IMPACT.

The activity, which began in 2019, has established itself as our organization’s most important strategic project, consolidating the R&D&I strategy with 29 pilot projects involving more than 40 management professionals.

The project was considered an exemplary case study by the Ministry of Culture and Sport at the World Heritage Managers Meeting held in Mérida in 2022.

It has also been considered an example of innovation and good practice in various European cooperation projects. In this regard, we should highlight our organization’s position, through the Estancias project, in the Interreg Europe program: between 2019 and 2023, as part of the MOMAr Models of Management for Singular Rural Heritage project, our project was chosen by the provincial government of Groningen and the Libau Foundation as a reference model for their Heritage Lab project, the centerpiece of their action plan. in 2024, our organization took part in the launch event for the REliHE Religious Heritage in Rural Areas project at the Polytechnic University of Turin, invited to present the project as a case study of good practices.

The long-term goal is to build an innovative structure that supports an international network designed to meet the needs of managing heritage resources located in villages.

Thus, in 2025, the association has partnerships with administrations and entities with which it shares objectives and methodology for growth: the Alliance of Cultural Landscapes and Related Sites, with management entities from fourteen UNESCO heritage sites; the Network of Medinas, within the framework of a collaboration on international projects and routes; the architecture and design department of the Polytechnic University of Turín and various other universities.

THE ARTISTIC RESIDENCY. THE PLACE WHERE IDEAS ARE BORN

Since the 2022 call for proposals, the Estancias project has incorporated a work area called the Creative Laboratory, a space within the research for projects that allowed for the exploration of Territorio Mudéjar as a place of action and creativity, dissolving the boundaries between areas of knowledge, which were orderly and differentiated, and often led us to places that were complex to manage.

This workspace allowed us to work on the concept of “artistic residency” with the aim of understanding the heritage space and the context in which it is located as a multifaceted space, promoting artistic creation projects with a strong connection to the territory, the landscape, and/or the heritage space.

Following the success of the first call for artistic residencies, this area continues to focus on research, experimentation, exchange, learning, critical reflection, and the dissemination of local practices and knowledge through dialogue between artistic research, communities, the territory, places, and non-places.

The aim is to encourage the opening up of new processes and directions of knowledge in order to explore new paths; to foster creative thinking by generating spaces for dialogue and starting points between art, science, and technology from an artistic perspective, with a view to the development and maintenance of communities and their inhabitants.

To improve the monitoring and support process for the selected residency, this second call for applications focuses on working with the concept of Cultural Landscape, in support of the designation of Cariñena as European Wine City 2025.

FOCUS
Transdisciplinary thinking as a tool for innovation.

The Mudéjar Territory digitalization strategy

The management of historical, artistic, and cultural heritage is evolving rapidly thanks to digital technologies. The current challenge is to apply a strategic vision to these unprecedented processes and opportunities offered by new technologies and utilize them as efficiently as possible, ensuring that the efforts made during this boom are sustainable and allow for the development of future projects.

Digitalization should not be an end in itself, but rather a driving force for improving heritage management efforts, taking into account the different possibilities that digitalization offers as a tool for conservation, dissemination, knowledge, and recognition of value. It should also take into account that new opportunities can arise from it in the form of projects that, without the use of these tools, would have a lower degree of scope, relevance, or specialization.

Therefore, at Territorio Mudéjar we are working on a clear strategy, still in the development phase in some of its aspects, which serves as a guide prior to carrying out any action in future projects and which is also inclusive of the actions already carried out in its different municipalities and in previous calls, applying the principle of reusing and improving all initiatives already carried out or underway. This strategy is adapted to the latest recommendations of the European Commission and also takes into account the standards of the most commonly used platforms and repositories such as Europeana or Google Arts.

The 4th call for Gonzalo M. Borrás Gualis Research Fellowships reaffirms our vision of applied research in heritage management that seeks real impact on localities by fostering networking. Once the various experiences and projects derived from them are underway, we aim to work with all the resources already created to establish quality and strategic parameters that will contribute to a dynamic digitalization strategy focused on improving heritage management.

For this reason, one of the criteria introduced this year in the call for stays is that all deliverables in digital version (photographs, videos, digital models, audio files, etc.) comply with the provisions of the recently published Study on quality in 3D digitisation of tangible cultural heritage: mapping parameters, formats, standards, benchmarks, methodologies, and guidelines and follow the lines of work indicated in the recommendation of 10/11/2021 on a common European data space for cultural heritage, thus adapting the quality criteria established in the Mudejar Territory Digitisation Strategy.

All the beneficiaries of the aid will receive information and training on the the DigitisationStrategy of Territorio Mudéjar during the first phase of their the first phase of their project and they will have a specific continuous specific ongoing monitoring during its development to help them comply with it.

DISRUPTIVE THINKING FROM ARTISTIC PRACTICE

Territorio Mudéjar is emerging as a place of action and creativity from areas often place of action and creativity from areas that are often ordered and differentiated and differentiated areas that often dissolve boundaries and take us to places that are complex to manage.

In this sense, the new call offers renewed areas of work and introduces a new area of ​​knowledge linked to artistic creation projects with a strong connection to the territory, landscape, and/or heritage sites.

This new workspace allows us to take the first steps in our “artist residency” model, with the goal of understanding the heritage space and its context as a multifaceted space.

This area is oriented towards research, experimentation, exchange, learning, critical reflection and the dissemination of local practices and knowledge, through dialogue between artisticresearch, communities, territory, places and non-places.

The heritage we call “Mudejar” presents itself to us as a disruption in medieval art, an enclave between Western art and Hispano-Muslim art that still raises questions and captivates all who experience and study it.

This new area of ​​work and knowledge aims to explore emotion and foster creative thinking by generating spaces for dialogue and points of departure between art, science, and technology.

It’s about opening up new processes and directions of knowledge, which are often difficult to channel, to explore new paths through artistic practice with an eye toward the development and preservation of communities and their inhabitants.

Deadline for submission of proposals for research stays extended until 29 June

Territorio Mudéjar is extending the deadline for submitting proposals for the call for five research stays for the study and management of the heritage and natural resources of its villages until Monday 29 June due to the high number of enquiries received in recent days. This is the second edition of these stays, which bear the name of Gonzalo M. Borrás Gualis in homage to the distinguished professor and expert in Mudejar art who died last year. Each of the grants is endowed with 6,000 euros and all of them will be aimed at developing responsible, sustainable and innovative projects that have a direct impact on the rural environment and that favour its visibility and knowledge. Territorio Mudéjar is an initiative promoted by the Diputación de Zaragoza that brings together 34 municipalities to conserve and promote Mudejar art in the province.

Interested parties can submit their ideas until 29 June 2020 at 23.59 pm (CET). Both novice and mid-career researchers and professionals in heritage management with innovative territorial work or projects that also consider responsible and sustainable uses of local resources are eligible to apply. It will also be essential that they contemplate and justify the permanence for a certain period of time in one or more localities of Territorio Mudéjar. Proposals may be in an initial phase, under development, being tested or being implemented, and must demonstrate the direct impact on at least three associated municipalities, as well as their influence on the rest of the territory.

Applicants may apply as individuals or as a research group; they may be at an initial or intermediate stage of their research career or professional activity; and they must provide proof of higher education related to the areas covered by the call and a minimum of two years of research or professional experience, whether paid or unpaid. However, the professional career may be replaced by a master’s degree in areas related to cultural heritage.

With this second call for Gonzalo Borrás Gualis research stays and projects, Territorio Mudéjar has set itself the objective of promoting knowledge of the rural territory from its Mudejar identity through innovative approaches that have a positive impact on the villages and that promote a network of work on the possibilities offered by the resources of the territory and collaborative and interdisciplinary work. It also aims to create dynamics of social participation in the field of heritage. Furthermore, the specific aim is to improve knowledge of the Mudejar as a World Heritage Site and the benefits it brings as an international brand recognised by Unesco.

Five different lines of research

The first of the five areas on which the projects submitted to the call for proposals may focus is New perspectives on Mudejar art, which includes updating data on this heritage in terms of monuments, urban, ethnographic and linguistic aspects, as well as technical languages applied to this style. Geolocation and cartographies are also included, as well as other aspects that allow the scientific base on this artistic style to be broadened.

A second line of research is Mudejar Territory and cultural landscape. It will assess the action of people on heritage resources, social and natural contexts and the interaction and relationship between landscape and monumentality.

The management of cultural heritage is the third area of action, which encompasses new models of uses in heritage management other than tourism or leisure. It also includes studies of physical, economic or intellectual accessibility, as well as future ideas for conservation and intervention in heritage.

New media discourses and knowledge or information for a general public will be the subject of the proposals in Communication and dissemination of Mudejar heritage.

Finally, in Mudejar Heritage and its social function as a key element of territorial development, projects related to social participation in the enhancement and collective construction of new forms of learning, intergenerational experiences, or emotional ties and roots as a basis for the protection and management of heritage will be considered.

Until Monday, July 15: Accepting applications in the call for proposals to the “Gonzalo M. Borrás Gualis grants for projects and fieldwork”

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS EXTENDED TO MONDAY, JULY 15

Due to the large number of queries received in the past few days, Territorio Mudéjar has decided to extend the deadline for submission of proposals to Monday, July 15, at 2:00 pm mainland Spanish time.

Territorio Mudéjar has issued a call for proposals for five fieldwork grants for the study and management of heritage and natural resources in its towns. Each of the five Gonzalo M. Borrás Gualis grants for projects and fieldwork will be allocated EUR 6,000 and the grant beneficiaries must develop responsible, sustainable and innovative projects that have a direct impact on rural settings, foster their visibility and raise awareness about them.

Through this call, we aim to identify proposals from researchers and professionals in the field of cultural and natural heritage management that will foster development projects in the towns. Through this initiative, the entity made up of 30 municipalities in the province of Zaragoza seeks to provide support for individuals who drive rural development from a different perspective, in addition to attracting talent to rural areas.

The grants bear the name of professor Gonzalo M. Borrás Gualis, in memory of and as a tribute to this firm advocate of heritage and this region, which he saw as a field of work with a bright future. The chair of the art history department, who died in February, always believed and conveyed to others the idea that it was possible to combine highly relevant scientific research with a commitment to the land and its people, and that natural, cultural and heritage resources play a key role in communities’ futures.

Application deadline and requirements

Proposals may be submitted up to Monday, July 15, at 2:00 pm, and new and intermediate researchers, as well as professionals in the heritage management field with experience in innovative regional projects or papers that address the responsible and sustainable use of local resources, are eligible to participate. It is essential for the candidates to propose and justify living for a certain amount of time in one or more of the towns in Territorio Mudéjar. The proposed projects may be in their initial stages, in progress, in test phase, or in execution, and must provide proof that they have a direct impact on at least three member municipalities, as well an influence on the region as a whole.

A sum of EUR 6,000 will be allocated to each of the five grants. Candidates may apply as individuals or as a research team and they must meet the following requirements: they may be starting or partway through their research period or professional career, they must provide proof of higher education credentials related to the subject matters addressed in the call for proposals and at least two years of research or professional activity, whether paid or not; professional experience may be substituted by Master’s degree level work in fields linked to cultural heritage.

The aim of these grants is to promote awareness about the rural setting through its Mudejar identity by creating innovative perspectives that have a positive impact on the towns and foster networking about the possibilities arising from the region’s resources and from collaborative, cross-disciplinary work. In addition, they specifically aim to enhance knowledge about the Mudejar as World Heritage and about the benefits it affords as an international brand recognized by the UNESCO.
