In connection with the <a href="https://www.museopicassomalaga.org/exposiciones/picasso-escultor-materia-y-cuerpo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Picasso Sculptor. Matter and Body</a> exhibition, the Museo Picasso Málaga is hosting a second edition of the ‘Sculpture Garden’ workshop.
For Picasso, sculpture was by no means a secondary aspect of his output; rather, he regarded it as a form of expression comparable to painting, printmaking, and ceramics. This session of the workshop takes sculpture one step further, using found objects and alternating modelling and assemblage techniques to achieve amusing and amazing results.
All participants, children and adults, must purchase their ticket. Minors must be accompanied at all times.

Museum in Movement: Sculpture Garden II

‘Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages’ is the theme of <a href="https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/sustainable-development-goals/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sustainable Development Goal </a> number 3 (SDG 3). This talk will be given by <a href="https://www.uma.es/departments/teachers/SmU1Rk0yY0NNb291SVl6QXRQWDdiQT09/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pablo Fernández Berrocal</a>, Professor of Psychology and Director of the Emotions Laboratory, and <a href="https://duma.uma.es/duma/buscador/persona/fb5c9d54-b399-4484-af59-a4e78ca395fb/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">José Miguel Pena Andreu</a>, a specialist in psychiatry and Director of the Department of Public Health and Psychiatry at Málaga University.
The topics addressed include the importance of ensuring a healthy life and promoting well-being at all ages, which are essential requisites for sustainable development. Before the pandemic, progress was made in <a href="https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/report/2019/goal-03/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">improving the health of millions of people</a>. These developments were specifically achieved by increasing life expectancy and reducing some of the causes of death commonly associated with material and child mortality. However, further efforts are needed to completely eradicate a wide range of diseases and to address a large number of ongoing and emerging health problems.

Lectures

SDG 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages

Through a guided tour, guest experts present their different interpretations of the themes addressed in the first major exhibition in Spain devoted to Picasso’s sculpture: the importance of the human body understood as a whole and also as a fragment, technical innovation (alternating modelling with construction), and the use of unusual materials (welded iron, wood, sheet metal and found objects).
The exhibition galleries thus become a meeting place and a forum for discussion on Pablo Picasso’s three-dimensional oeuvre.
