Huitlacoche and other passions

Alejandra Morales 4, 5, 7 and 8 May

Part exhibition, part research, this event seeks to establish relationships between what we know about Mexico and what is created about it every day. Similarly, it examines how traditional cuisine associated with Mexico may condition conversations and social relationships.

Bodies in transition

Olga Beltrán
9, 10, 11 and 12 May

This is the first retrospective of the work by the artist and focuses on 1977 – two years after the death of Franco – when she came to live in Barcelona from her native Ecuador. Recognised for her political commitment and her feminist perspective, her work takes a critical look at the mechanisms of power in a state transitioning from a dictatorship.

(Dis)informing a Space

Maria Pinell, Pau Minguet, Alba Morí, Claudia Poblete, Xavier Alamany
14, 15 and 16 May

(Dis) informing a Space is a project that was designed to question the methodologies used by institutions when they impose symbolic narratives on different public spaces. At this open research conference, we will reveal and contextualise the intervention carried out at the Sant Pau del Camp Gardens, in the Raval district, and we will look for one new space in which to develop ways to counteract the homogenising and excluding discourses of the agencies of power that make the multiple realities and voices that constitute ANY space invisible.

Bodies in the Gerund

Claudia Poblete, Loreto Sepúlveda, Sofia Silva
17 and 18 May

To display body movements during the practice of sewing, drawing and graphic design, the bodies working on this are made invisible in order to neutralise the person doing it.
