SUMMARY:The (In)visible Exiles
DESCRIPTION:Archivo General de la Nación de México \n  \nExile is a reality that is very difficult to make visible\, since it is\, above all\, an experience of internal uprooting. Nevertheless\, women artists\, among them the filmmakers who went into exile\, tried time and again to stage and represent their woundedness. \nFilm producer and director Tània Balló and filmmaker\, theorist and film promoter Luis E. Parés programme a film series linked to the exhibition Marta Palau: My Paths are Earthly\, with the aim of presenting three different approaches to this wound and the way it is incarnated. Thus\, through screenings\, talks and conferences\, we will generate a space for debate and reflection on these films and on other\, more contemporary ones\, which have allowed us to rediscover these works and their authors in the present day. \n  \nTània Balló Colell is a filmmaker\, writer\, cultural promoter and researcher. She is the creator and director of the project Las Sinsombrero (2014–present) and Las Anónimas. Obras sin relato en las colecciones de arte moderno de los museos españoles (Leonardo Grant for Researchers and Cultural Creators\, Fundación BBVA\, 2023). As a filmmaker\, her films El Museo Invisible (2023) and the documentary trilogy Las Sinsombrero (2015–2021) stand out. She is the author of the Las Sinsombrero trilogy (2016\, 2018\, 2022)\, of Querido Diario: hoy ha empezado la guerra (2017) and of Les Combatents. La història oblidada de les milicianes antifeixistes (2021). She is also curator of the exhibitions Jorge Semprún. El largo viaje (2024–2025)\, Las Sinsombrero (2022) and No Pasarán. 16 días Madrid 1936 (2018). \n  \nLuís E. Parés holds a PhD in Communication from the Pompeu Fabra University and is artistic director of Cineteca Matadero Madrid. He has worked as part of the programming department of the Filmoteca Española\, the editorial board of Caimán CDC and the programming committee of the Sevilla Film Festival\, and was coordinator of the RTVE programme Historia de nuestro cine. He has published the books Notes sur l’émigration-Espagne 1960. Apunts per a una pel·lícula invisible (2011) and Filmar el exilio desde Francia (2012). He has directed the short films Los conspiradores (2021) and El espectro político (2023)\, as well as the feature film La primera mirada (2023). \n  \nProgramme \n4.March 25 \n22 April 25 \n20 May 25 \n  \n \nMaría Luisa Elío in En el balcón vacío

SUMMARY:Wild Tarot: Barcelona Poesia 2025
DESCRIPTION:Sold Out Tickets \n \nThe Wild Tarot adventure is a card and piano presentation performed live by Oriol Sauleda and Lulu Martorell. It is a musical consultancy and sound bite\, inspired by the unique character of tarot hands\, in the time and place of the cards being pulled and those having them read. \nThe session\, performed out loud\, sounds out and does not preach\, presenting symbols as the keys to open up the queen’s gardens. Driven by tarot’s Major Arcana\, Oriol guides us through a realm that hosts Lulu’s song and melody. It is the result of tarot’s irrational power\, its seductive attraction\, the immediate poetics it reveals\, for in tarot\, as in lyrical poetry and the chaotic order of the universe\, everything is connected and resonates. This leads to the initial invocation\, the “Spiritual Canticle” of Saint John of the Cross\, unleashing the sincere\, ritual mechanics of Wild Tarot. This exclusive premiere has been prepared for Festival Barcelona Poesia\, in the context of the exhibition Antoni Tàpies: The Imagination of the World. \n  \nOriol Sauleda presents his poetry like a minstrel\, with the charm of a griot who needs sonnets to make himself heard. He insists on poetic play\, in momentary chance and improvising in order to be on time. Every so often he publishes a book. Sauleda adds fuel to the fire with words from theatre\, rock music\, tarot and the Immaculate Conception\, ready for the cold. He does not do this alone\, but rather needs powerful allies like Lulu herself\, along with Núria Martínez Vernis\, Memi March\, Amor Estadella\, Montse Colomé and other great women. The improvisation sessions done with Lulu Martorell are called Concepcionals. More recently\, in collaboration with Marcel·lí Bayer\, they have activated memory and recollection in the show Adamar Johnson\, reviving a totally unknown poet who died during the AIDS epidemic. \nLulu Martorell is just as she was in 1984\, when she presented the TV music programme ‘Pleitaguensam’\, or the mythic\, unclassifiable ‘Glasnost’: leather jacket\, wavy hair and a punky voice that speaks whatever comes to mind. Younger generations do not know enough about what she contributed through her programmes. Singing\, playing music\, writing or making movies\, surrounded by her friends—that is the air she breathes. Oriol Martorell\, Carlos Santos\, Agustí Fernández\, Pepe Sales\, Albert Pla and Africa have all been her guides. Now\, holding tight to Oriol Sauleda and the musical project Concepcionals\, they swim against the current of the Llobregat River until finally getting to the Konvent art centre\, near the headwaters\, where everything comes together.

SUMMARY:fe sense obres morta és. A film tribute by Albert Serra to Antoni Tàpies
DESCRIPTION:Premiere of Albert Serra’s film tribute to Antoni Tàpies. \n\nThe Museu Tàpies presents the tribute that the film director\, producer and screenwriter Albert Serra (Banyoles\, 1975) has dedicated to the artist Antoni Tàpies. \nThe film “fe sense obres morta és” delves into one of the most emotional and surprising aspects of the artist’s universe\, exploring it from Serra’s singular and provocative perspective. The film is the result of the museum’s invitation to the director to make a free\, contemporary and deeply personal approach to Tàpies’ work and thought. The film does not aim to illustrate\, but to evoke; generate a sensory experience that dialogues with the poetic and material force that defines his artistic career. \nOn May 8\, at 8 p.m.\, the film will be publicly screened at the Filmoteca de Catalunya\, in a session that will feature the participation of Albert Serra and Imma Prieto\, director of the Museu Tàpies. \n. \n[Work: Antoni Tàpies.

SUMMARY:Following the sun. feyfeyfey
DESCRIPTION:This emerging collective\, united in a network of queerness\, has woven together a sound performance piece\, brb do not perceive me unless ur ready 2 speak in r1ddles and chill with beautiful r0cks xxx\, that explores communication phenomena\, and specifically the transmission and reception of queer frequencies. \nUnderstanding queer communication systems as subversive tools that enable members of our community to be eco-localised and protect each other\, the collective uses sound and visual elements to express rhythmic\, cryptic and natural cyclic pulsations between the three members. These reverberations bounce off porous bodies\, in transmissions devoured by open ears\, as vibrational absorptions and other forms of abstract\, poetic and non-verbal communication come together to create a dissonant aria in dialogue with the natural world\, situating queer existences through communication. \n  \nfeyfeyfey is an emerging Barcelona-based art collective whose members are Alida Maria Lanzi\, Anusha Jean Ramesh and Bram Dul. It uses performance and sound to explore aspects of queerness\, and is interested in the elasticity of access\, as well as the politics of movement and the act of sounding out together as friends\, from varied stances. \nFeyfeyfey creates spaces that question how we relate with ourselves\, others and the worlds we inhabit. In the past\, the term fey in English meant ‘destined to die\, condemned’\, and was used as a vulgar term for homosexuals. It is likewise a term used to refer to fairies. Here it is repeated three times\, asserting itself as a sound ritual. \nThe practice of Alida Maria Lanzi (Germany\, 2004) is focused on the construction of worlds: imaging alternative spaces where queer bodies might exist beyond binary constructs and norms. Using sculpture\, installation and performance\, they combine organic and inorganic rhythms to create hybrid shapes. Their site-specific works perturb and unsettle\, merging liminal space with speculative narratives to imagine new atmospheres and ways of being\, opening up new connections and identities. They are currently finishing their thesis at Metàfora Studio Arts. \nThe work of Anusha Jean Ramesh (Malaysia\, 2001) strives to grasp the elemental conditions of connectivity. Their practice tends to be relational\, seeking to follow traces of queer displacement\, identity and temporalities while basing itself on personal relationships\, intuitively channelled through sound\, sculpture\, installation and video. They are currently completing their thesis at Metàfora Studio Arts\, and are preparing a solo exhibition at 200CENT for November 2025. \nBram Dul (Netherlands\, 2005) is writing their love letter to sound\, where every project creates a new phrase. They translate thoughts on queerness and neuro-divergency into sound\, sculpture\, installation and performance\, shaping their projects through the perspective of childlike admiration and research-based practice. Dul is currently completing a year-long residency at Metàfora Studio Arts\, and in September will begin studies at Design Academy Eindhoven. \nA session of the second edition of the programme Following The Sun\, curated by Gabriel Virgilio Luciani \n

SUMMARY:Aesthetics of Transit: Ancestral Memory and Collective Subconscious
DESCRIPTION:The Museu Tàpies presents a seminar with the aim of exploring the language and cosmology of Marta Palau. On the foundation of indigenous cosmovisions and ancestral rituals\, topics such as shamanism\, healing and sacred symbolism will be addressed. \nThis event enables us to reflect on how Palau uses practices that channel concepts of magic and history in relation to artistic practice\, developing a visual poetics that connects with the collective subconscious and ancestral memory. Her use of natural materials and traditional textile techniques\, as well as the creation of symbology rooted in personal experience\, help us speak of art as a creative tool for cultural resistance\, accentuating the spiritual abundance of native cultures. \nAs the closing event of the film series ‘The (In)visible Exiles’\, this seminar contributes to a rupture with anthropocentric and Eurocentric consciousness\, so as to inhabit the world on the basis of other narratives\, focusing on collective imaginations. In this regard\, the work of Palau should be understood as an act of memory and resistance in the face of dehumanising processes\, and as a gesture favouring understanding of the world as a concentric\, relational whole. \n  \nPROGRAMME \n· 6 pm. Presentation of the session by the Museu Tàpies \n· 6.10 pm. Lecture ‘Marta Palau Amongst Paths of Exile’\, by Mari Paz Balibrea \n· 6.50 pm.

SUMMARY:Fragments of Earth
DESCRIPTION:  \nMatria Libre – Arte sin Fronteras presents a piece of political dance where bodies become matter in movement\, leaving ephemeral imprints in space\, as if they were scars of a time that has been erased and rewritten. In this piece\, dance is not merely gesture\, but also an inscription\, a draft\, a kind of writing made of presence and absence\, where each step resonates as a mark of identity and collective memory. The dancers pass through invisible glazes\, revealing and concealing fragments of reality\, as if they were digging into the material of the forgotten. Between earth and air\, between weight and ascent\, the dance traces a path towards a type of spirituality that is not found in form but in the empty space it leaves behind. \n  \nMatria Libre – Arte sin Fronteras is a pioneering company of political dance. Their piece Sabia Tierra [Wise Earth] was presented at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía. The company recently won an award at the Lens Dans Video Dance Festival\, for the piece Abolición de la Guerra [Abolition of War]. The company’s artistic proposal is based on the revival of ancestral knowledge and the creation of corporeal language in the pursuit of justice\, which is universal and broadens frontiers. The company is comprised of dancers Ada Saliou and Mayaymara Behoteguy Chávez. \nAda Saliou is a distinguished dancer\, choreographer and master of African dance. Through his unique corporeal language\, he expresses deep emotions and delves into socially relevant topics like immigration and the environment. \nMayaymara Behoteguy Chávez is a dancer and international activist. Steeped in the context of magic realism\, and deeply influenced by the struggle for social justice\, she has converted her dance into a cry against capitalism\, able to awaken consciences and activate change. \n  \nA session of  the second edition of the series The Chairs of Tàpies
