Extramural project. Dora García

The third edition of the Extramural project will begin as part of the opening of the Festival Grec 2026, once again in ongoing partnership with Eina Centre Universitari de Disseny i Art de Barcelona. This time, the artist invited to consider the city as a space for intervention, mediation and thought will be Dora García (Valladolid, 1965).

Extramural is an initiative by the Museu Tàpies, setting out from a plural, multidisciplinary approach, and structured on the basis of three broad conceptual thread: inter-institutional dialogue, dialogue with the public space and dialogue with the environment. This approach encourages reflection about contemporary issues and the roll-out of a decentralised, intermittent programme able to reformulate the way arts institutions engage with their urban, social and ecological context.

The invitation to Dora García reflects a desire to approach these questions through an artistic practice profoundly linked to performance, narrative and collective psychology. Her work, centred on the figure of the spectator, the dissident voice and the construction of alternative narratives, offers a chance to explore the city as a space for critical thought and social experimentation.
