Chimney, Matadero, Plaza de Legazpi, Legazpi, Madrid
March 15th 2022 most of Spain and some of Europe woke up covered in red dust. This has happened before but never to this extent. In this photo you can clearly see the haze over Madrid.
The old Madrid slaughterhouse, a set of neo-Mudejar style pavilions, built at the beginning of the 20th century on the banks of the Manzanares, is today a small city devoted to culture, where the visitor will find the following spaces:
Naves Matadero. International Living Arts Centre: A highly flexible theatrical complex which contains three independently functioning interconnected areas (a café-theatre, a large performance area, and a space for training, discussion, reflection and workshops).
Abierto X Obras: the old cold storage unit is now the setting for a range of artistic events.
Casa del Lector: a large cultural centre where readers and reading are the focus of attention.
Central de Diseño: located in unit 17 C. Supported by the Madrid City Council and DIMAD (Madrid Designers' Association), its aim is the promotion and dissemination of design.
Cineteca: the country's first and only cinema with a programme focusing on non-fiction.
Plaza y Calle Matadero: an outdoor multipurpose space devoted to a huge range of leisure and cultural activities.
Intermediae: an initiative of the Madrid City Council Arts Department, intended to provide a space for contemporary creative work and help develop contact between artists and the people of Madrid, with a view to finding and presenting alternative forms of expression, creation and thought.
