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.
Territorio Mudéjar participated in the latest study visit of the European MOMAr (‘Models of Management for Singular Rural Heritage’) project to Mehedinti County in Romania.
This rural area of the country has served as inspiration for 24 European experts to learn about best practices in rural heritage management models.
On this trip, we visited the Iron Gates Regional Museum, located in the town of Drobeta Turnu Severin, and its exhibits on the communities of Mehedinti County.
On a cruise along the Danube, we observe the natural diversity and historical sites nestled along the river’s banks.
We visited the village of Eibenthal in the Banat Mountains, inhabited by a Czech community and which has become a meeting and celebration place.
They also explained the success story of the DiGiParks initiative, which reproduces 3D models of the region’s notable heritage sites.
The visit continued at the Romanian Hydroelectric Power Station Museum. In Balta Cave, we enjoyed a concert performed by a local music school.
We arrived at the so-called ‘Bridge of God’, the largest natural bridge in Romania, located in the village of Ponoarele.
And the last stage of the tour took place at the church of Selistea.
The Aragonese delegation was made up of the DPZ team: the coordinator of the Citizenship Area, Juan José Borque; the head of the Culture and Heritage Section, Lorena Laga; and the culture technician and member of the MOMAr coordination team, Isabel Soria. Traveling with them were the director of Mudejar Territory, Victoria Trasobares; the mayor of Gotor, José Ángel Calvo; the mayor of Quinto, Jesús Morales; the mayor of Velilla de Ebro, María Rosario Gómez; and the culture technician from the Utebo City Council, Walter Espada.
Representatives of the European partners also attended the trip from Saxony-Anhalt (Germany), South Bohemia (Czech Republic), and the province of Groningen (Netherlands), as well as the project’s technical advisory committee, made up of Irene Ruiz and Marisa Sebastián.
The European MOMAr (Models of Management for Singular Rural Heritage) project, led by the Provincial Council of Zaragoza and in which Territorio Mudéjar participates, has brought together 28 heritage experts, including a delegation from Zaragoza, on a study visit to the province of Groningen (Netherlands). The goal is to exchange best practices and learn about Dutch management models firsthand.
The visit took place on April 27 and 28 and was attended by the Zaragoza Provincial Council, including Juan José Borque, coordinator of the Citizenship Department, and Mª Carmen Gracia, head of the Culture Service; Victoria Trasobares, director of Territorio Mudéjar; three of the mayors who belong to the association: Maria Rosario Lázaro, mayor of Villarreal de Huerva; Marta Gracia Blanco, mayor of Almunia de Doña Godina; and Alfonso Puertas, mayor of Torralba de Ribota; and Julio Zaldívar, manager of the Tarazona Monumental Foundation.
MOMAr’s European partners from Mehedinti County (Romania), the Saxony-Anhalt region (Germany), South Bohemia (Czech Republic), the Dutch hosts, and the project’s technical advisory committee, formed by Irene Ruiz and Marisa Sebastián, also participated.
This study visit is the third of a total of four, which seek to exchange knowledge on asset management models among European experts, all from rural areas. The ultimate goal is to import best practices and, with them, develop an Action Plan in which each region will develop new proposals for improving local projects.
The rehabilitation of historical heritage, giving it new social and educational uses for the benefit of local communities, through cooperation between public administrations and private properties, marked the practical visits on this trip.
The first stop on the tour was Maarhuizen, an architectural complex located atop an artificial mound, remnant of what was once a farming village centuries ago. Today, one of its former farms is being reconstructed as part of a holistic project seeking to create a cultural and natural meeting point, involving educational centers in the rehabilitation process.
We visited one of the churches of the Groningen Historic Church Foundation. This organization manages nearly 100 churches, most of them medieval and privately owned. In these churches, religious space has become a community space, open to the public and serving social purposes. Proof of this is the exhibition “Festivity! In the East and in the West,” located in a restored medieval tower and exploring celebrations of different religions (Catholic, Jewish, and Muslim). Through an interactive experience, the exhibition seeks to create common ground between different faiths and open up a non-judgmental intercultural dialogue among its visitors.
The expedition also approached the Wadden Sea, the largest intertidal flat system in the world, listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site for its unique geological and ecological values and high biological diversity.
The rural region of Oldamst, located near the German border, was the focus of experts’ attention during the second day of work. This area was considered the breadbasket of Holland decades ago thanks to its fertile land. However, depopulation and the loss of local agriculture have left hundreds of farms abandoned or in serious danger of collapse. Adding to this process of degradation are earthquakes, largely caused by gas extraction, and soil oxidation, which causes significant subsidence. Thus, an enormous historical heritage, in private hands, faces the costly challenge of reconstruction and rehabilitation, but they are not doing it alone, as public administrations are contributing financially and strategically to the preservation of these centuries-old buildings.
