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.

El Patio de los Juegos de Madera
2026-05-23 10:00 - 13:00 | La Casa Encendida, Rda. de Valencia, 2, Madrid, 28012, Spain
This is a fun-filled activity featuring 15 traditional wooden games in giant format.
Public squares have historically been spaces for gathering, socializing, and play, where people of different generations spend time together and build a sense of community. Play is also an essential activity that fosters emotional, social, and creative development, allowing everyone to explore, learn, and connect with others in a free and meaningful way.
For one morning, the courtyard will be transformed into a playful and participatory space that revives the value of classic games through handcrafted wooden materials—games that technology, with its screens, is gradually replacing.
