The Greatest Museum
Activity for older people
General public: elderly people from homes and municipal spaces for the elderly.
Open and free activity.
Prior registration through the Casals de Gent Gran de Barcelona.
During the month of November we are hosting the workshops of the project 'The Greatest Museum' to bring the arts centre closer to the elderly people of the homes and municipal spaces.
In these workshops, four two-hour sessions, images and photographs from the Santa Mònica archive will be used. Through a participatory methodology led by specialists, the images will be linked to the participants' experiences and memories, and a joint selection of twelve images will be made. Once the selection has been made, the participants will take a copy home, where they will have to take a photograph in their everyday spaces, so that they can find parallels and dialogues between the images provided by the museums and the new photographs generated.
The aim of the workshops is to encourage interest and artistic creation, as well as stimulating conversation and socialisation among the elderly from a cultural perspective.
The Biggest Museum is a project promoted by Barcelona City Council's Department for the Promotion of Older People, designed and run by CliCme, in which fifteen of the city's cultural institutions are taking part.

The 'The Greatest Museum' project is an initiative of the Taula de Museus i Accessibilitat and the Departament de Promoció de les Persones of Barcelona City Council.
Workshops conducted by CliCme.
CliCme is a collective formed by Eugènia Ortiz and Montse Casas that understands photography and the photographic medium as tools for approaching and reflecting on our surroundings.
Its purpose is to create spaces for experimentation and photographic thought, where participants discover, integrate and produce creative resources. Its workshops also seek the acquisition of basic knowledge of the visual and narrative language of images and the conceptual and aesthetic work of photography. Participants end up experiencing the physical, chemical and plastic principles of photography and the new technologies of the photographic medium.
