The Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza and TBA21Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary announce the second edition of their Open Call for the Nocturnal Walkthroughs, a recurring initiative within their public programmes, which on this occasion accompanies the exhibition ‘Pedagogies of War’ by Roman Khimei and Yarema Malashchuk.
The Nocturnal Walkthroughs are conceived as a series of activations that open the exhibition to new forms of encounter, reflection, and collective imagination, offering audiences the chance to engage with the works in an intimate, immersive setting that encourages dialogue, contemplation, and shared experiences beyond conventional viewing practices.
The organisers invite artists, poets, performers, scientists, activists, writers, thinkers, and cultural workers to propose original activities responding to the exhibition’s central questions.
Proposals can take a variety of forms, including:
- Performances
- Lectures
- Readings
- Sound interventions
- Living arts
- Workshops
The selected participants will execute their activity for a total of four times, with two sessions per evening: 9pm & 10pm. Activities will take place on 21 March, 11 April, 25 April, 9 May, 23 May, and 30 May 2026. The duration is approximately 45 minutes per session. Activities can be conducted in Spanish or English and this opportunity is open to all disciplines, backgrounds, and nationalities.
The fee provided is 1,500 EUR (incl. VAT), which includes travel and accommodation if required (they are unable to cover extensive travel expenses).
