Barcelona Dibuixa festival 2026. Natural Futures. Workshop led by Clara-Tanit

From the series Natural history by Antoni Tàpies series, 1950-1951, illustrator Clara-Tanit Arqué invites us to a drawing workshop for all ages where we will explore the possibilities of working with ink. With this series, Tàpies critiqued certain social injustices and the political capitalism that have shaped contemporary history. Could we imagine other stories? What other history might be possible? Together, we will create a new series that depicts alternative futures.
