This year we talked about what it is like to grow up on a refugee camp as a child. Together with 12 schools we made doors on which you can read and view the reflections the children have made. Each class made an investigation on a different camp in Kenia, Palestina, Bangladesh and Sahara.

From 2018 to 2022, 11,522 people have died on access routes to the Spanish State, seeking a safer future. In Sant Boi de Llobregat commemorated World Refugee Day while claiming the memory and justice of the victims. On June 8, we will made a joint art installation in the Town Hall Square, creating a fishing net with labels, imagining what name each of these people could have.

Miradas Cruzadas: together with a group of artists from around the globe we will work on small artworks that reply the artwork of another artist. I will make a work dedicated to the Spanish Greyhound, to how they behave at home, those boney thieves of hearts <3 This piece is a reply to an illustration made by Alberto Pitalua.

Yup, it's a slow year on creating paintings, ceramics and so... but it is because we're building something bigger. A House! Together with Mel and Mandy we are building a place to host projects and create with fellow artists.

Once my workshop is all set up, I will be happily painting again!

During several weeks I had the pleasure to work with a group of lovely women. They migrated from different parts of the world in the hope to create a better and safer life. We talked about how they sleep at night. Between worries and snoring husbands that is hard to do.
So we created this instalation together, an unconfortable bed made from recycled tubes and sheets out of towels.

Refugium is the Latin word from which refuge comes. Etymologically it refers to fleeing to a safe place. But, really, refugees live with security? Legal, work, personal security? Who access to international protection? Who is left excluded? what does it mean How does it affect us? The recognition of the right to asylum is weak and is in risk in the face of policies that prioritize the securitization of borders and interests own Millions of people are in transit and stuck in fields, without a future horizon. The refuge is a global challenge that forces us to rethink the model of society we build. Understand diversity as a positive value and the defense of human rights is one of the pillars of CCCA. This exhibition wants to emphasize the commitment of Sant Boi as a Refuge City and in artistic community action as a space for encourage reflection and social mobilization.
