MULTIVERSES OF THE INFRAMUNDO
WARP AND WEFT OF STORIES THAT WEAVE TOGETHER THOSE PRESENT
PROGRAMME BY BEATRIZ NOVARO IN COLLABORATION WITH EUGENIA MACÍAS GUZMÁN AND ANA CASAS BRODA
This programme throws threads to different traditions to nourish the way we approach the moment, the present that unfolds in the HEADS OF HYDRA, dealing from different disciplines, theories and views that go from the 1500s to the present, because, as Beatriz Novaro states: "everything is much older than we think, and everything old, happens again".
The axis of both programmes are the multiverses where different traditions, cultures, identities and subjectivities will be interwoven with views that come from philosophies, oral histories, art, diverse knowledge and their socio-political contexts, on the basis that there is not one history but a multiplicity of histories that allow us to expand and retrace our cartography of time.

Francisco Goya
This programme will be articulated by modules in which each participating speaker will activate dialogues based on their own enquiries and research in order to contrast them with processes such as the following:
The dialogue between the understanding of the Universe and the works of man in the Renaissance; the reflection displaced from certainties to doubt in various disciplines during the Baroque; the deepening dismantling of epistemological and vital dogmas in the Enlightenment; the liberalisms that explored other expressive possibilities in the return to the classical, as well as the emergence of the nation-state and new dynamics in the economy and in labour processes during Romanticism; social practices in the face of capitalism, mercantile trade and the technological revolution in the period from the growth of the industrial age to the First World War; the revolution of Freudian discovery and the consequent shift from conscious to unconscious processes, from the question of knowledge and truth to the question of language, from the radical decentring of the subject who is no longer but a product of the linguistic, historical and communal structures that shape it.... in spite of which there is still a space for what we call freedom, for creation.
Languages kept, expected, listened to and manifested as threads in tension between one pandemic and the next, between 1920 and 2020.

AN INTERVENED SKELETON
This programme will be based on a skeleton of several modules that will be crossed by the interventions of participants from different disciplines, perspectives, cultures and places in the world.
THE RENAISSANCE
Man as the centre of reflection. The human body as a metaphor for the universe, art and architecture. The universe builds man in its image and man builds his works according to the same rules.
God placed man at the centre of the universe in order to understand and read himself. Man is the measure of all things, the centre of the universe.the human body inside and out as compass and map of the universe.the human body is, par excellence, the symbolic unity of the Renaissance.what is above, is reflected below.the concordance between heaven and earth.
THE BAROQUE 1600-1680
Reflection shifts from certainties to doubt. Doubt invades everything. It is not only at the centre of scientific and philosophical discourse (Galileo and Descartes) but also invades the fields of architecture (Borromini), literature (John Milton, Francisco Quevedo and Conceptionism, theatre). Neither God nor no God. We are in a territory of instability and metamorphosis. To the perfect apple that was the universe in the Renaissance, they have found a worm that eats it from the inside out. The baroque is thus presented as a depressive intermediate period between two stages of progressive growth: the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, the search for truth and realism eating away at the illusions of perfection.
The lack of a grip, of immutable truths now that everything has become unstable and in full metamorphosis since it is known that the earth is not the centre of the world, religion is in crisis, wars are tearing Europe apart, money is changing hands with the economic crisis. It will be concretised in the churches it builds.
THE ENLIGHTENMENT 1700-1800
The doubt sown by Montaigne, Descartes and the dismantling of dogmas by Luther and Spinoza reached its peak. The universal rules of what we call science today were established.
ROMANTICISM
A free art, a free society linked to the idea of Nation. A reflection of economic liberalism at the level of ideas and the arts; it is also a reaction to the rigorism of the hegemonic Neoclassicism of the eighteenth century.
FROM THE INDUSTRIAL ERA TO THE FIRST WORLD WAR
God is dead and Capitalism, mercantile trade, the technological revolution are born.
