About 180 individuals attended the program titled “The tastes of the Prado,” which was designed for immigrants or refugees and those with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Through the still life paintings in the Museum’s collection, this activity aims to encourage discussion on food.
The event “Invincible in El Prado,” which has drawn close to a hundred participants, aims to promote conversation and invites us to explore the idea of resilience through the lives of the works’ protagonists. It is targeted at individuals with diminished mobility or brain damage as well as those who are in vulnerable social situations.
