In this exhibition, María Jerez invites us to revisit the concept of the “playground” and to enter a space for play that, like a landscape, transforms as we walk on it, lift it, move it, turn it, blow on it, caress it, and contemplate it.
A soft landscape that also looks back at us, shapes us, and lets us enter, remain, pass through, or disappear only to reappear as a valley. A landscape that is never alone; it exists, mutates, changes, and transforms only in relation to others.
This is a free play activity for kids to explore.

Maya, dame un título
2026-05-17 12:00 - 13:00 | La Casa Encendida, Rda. de Valencia, 2, Madrid, 28012, Spain
Maya and her father, filmmaker Michel Gondry, live in different countries, but they’ve found a unique way to stay connected. Every night, he asks her, “Maya, give me a title.” From that simple phrase, Gondry lets his imagination run wild and creates a short animation starring his daughter, building a poetic, fun, and tender world.
This daily ritual becomes an emotional bridge between them, a celebration of family bonds and shared creativity. The result is a visual journey that will inspire children to dream and bring a smile to adults’ faces, reminding us that art can also be born of love.
