Territory (s), Community (ies) and Artistic Practices

Territory (s), Community (ies) and Artistic Practices aims to articulate a research project shared between three creative factories – Ateneu Popular 9Barris, Central del Circ and Graner – around artistic creation with the communities and in the territory. A project that wants to rethink the idea of territory as a common place and move through new relational contexts from the cultural practice understood beyond the consumer good. With this project -which is planned to be developed over 3 years- we assume the need to reflect collectively on what kind of culture we generate in the neighborhoods of Trinitat Nova, El Besós and La Marina respectively.

Dialogue with the Museum of Ethnology of Barcelona – Creation and museums

For the first time this 2021 we are starting a collaboration with the Museum of Ethnology of Barcelona, within the framework of the Creation and Museums (ICUB). The artist invited to dialogue with the Museum’s collection is Xavier Manubens, a resident of Graner 2021, with a curatorial and scenic project that relates the practices of the body and transformism with the heritage fund of the Museum of Ethnology, to bring social anthropology closer to the phenomenon of transformism and the construction of gender.
