ROCAVIVA

Its projects are global in nature and offer various approaches to bring the subject matter to the public from very different settings. Exhibitions are complemented by guided tours, conferences, dramatized readings, workshops, planting of trees or rose bushes in public gardens dedicated to the featured figure, dedication of research laboratories, or naming of streets...

Among its collaborators are internationally renowned specialists from different fields, such as the actor Manuel Galiana, the scientists Maria Vallet, Pierre Joliot and Helene Langevin Joliot — grandchildren of Marie Curie —, singers such as the baritone Carlos Alvarez, or journalists such as Antonio Garate.

Particularly noteworthy are the dramatized readings about the lives of various historical figures with absolute historical rigor, as the works are based on their own writings: Pierre and Marie Curie. Themselves and Concha Espina. Light and Darkness. The readings feature the participation of the great actor Manuel Galiana.

Among its exhibition initiatives, Nobel Women stands out, in which the laureates themselves, their families, or the foundations that safeguard their legacies have collaborated, as well as the Nobel Museum in Stockholm, the Nobel Institute in Oslo, and numerous embassies and universities. Several women who have been awarded the Nobel Prize, such as Elizabeth Blackburn (Nobel Prize in Medicine 2009), May-Britt Moser (Nobel Prize in Medicine 2014), or Ouided Bouchamaoui (Nobel Peace Prize 2015), have attended openings of various exhibition venues and participated in parallel events.

During the pandemic, Rocaviva organized the successful #YoTeAplaudo campaign in collaboration with the Health Research Institute of the 12 de Octubre University Hospital in Madrid, in which 55 personalities from the worlds of Science, Culture, Art, and Sport sent messages of encouragement to those risking their lives on the front lines.
