In the Early Modern period, theatrical and festive occasions played a fundamental role in European artistic activity. They brought together artists from different disciplines and backgrounds, generating processes of hybridization between the visual and the performing arts. Such occasions marked

«the point of transition
from real life into the world of art».

ART-ES. Appropriation and Hybridization between Visual Arts and Performing Arts in Early Modernperiod is a research project supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness.

This project is aligned with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and aims to meet the following SDGs:

Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all

The project is aimed at a very diverse audience, particularly through its creative and accessible storytelling. It enables a consciously playful dissemination of complex art and theatre historical content, and presents high-quality exhibits from prestigious international collections without access restrictions and without user costs.

Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls

This goal is achieved through the composition of the project team, but also through the content of the exhibition, where there is space for the topic of diversity, for example, based on historical accounts in which the roles of women, men and other genders appear in equal status.

Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns

This goal is pursued and achieved through the purely digital character of the project, which allows access from anywhere in the world via the web. The production, which was carried out primarily through digital collaboration, was also based on the principle of sustainability with little or no consumption of material resources.

Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels

Our project brought together 14 institutions from six countries within and outside the European Union (Austria, Spain, Italy, Germany, Portugal and Great Britain). It is therefore a model of international cooperation in the field of scientific work and creative cultural communication. Based on its content, it also seeks to send a message of cosmopolitanism and peace in the present, for example by emphasizing phenomena of international cohesion and exchange in the context of festive events in the Early Modern Age.

Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development

Within the framework of this project, which was strongly supported by the Spanish Government, several research institutions have partnered with a major museum, the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. With joint efforts of staff and budget, a digital exhibition project has been carried out that is freely accessible to users around the world.

This virtual exhibition is the result of a cooperation between
