Moguda! The IVAM’s Travelling School Library

IVAM Centre Julio González

Launched during the 2020–21 school year, Moguda! is the museum’s mobile-device project which has continued to grow and take shape ever since. With Moguda! the IVAM proposes the creation of a series of little travelling art libraries packed in art-transport boxes that pay visits to various educational centres across the region of Valencia, reaching students of different ages and diverse backgrounds—from nursery schools to adult-education centres, as well as schools for people with cognitive diversity, high schools, primary schools and community universities.

Moguda! is the result of ongoing conversations with community members, educational centres and neighbourhood associations held at IVAM. For this reason, during its first editions, the project focused on schools located near the museum, and then later crossing the old Turia riverbed and gradually expanding throughout the city of Valencia and the wider Valencian region.

This travelling school art library is a plural, collaborative project built on trust and maintained through the involvement of many participants, including storytellers and mediators such as Fani Grande, Elisa Martínez Matallín and Deborah Ekoke, as well as specialized technical staff including María Díaz and David Azorín. Carefully supported by the museum’s Education Department, it has become one of its longest-running projects due to its originality and sustained development.

The book collections that make up Moguda! are purchased from neighbourhood bookshops or stores close to the museum. All catalogues are freely available for consultation on the IVAM website, through the IVAM Library and Documentation Centre catalogue, and in participating educational centres.
