On 25 March a meeting will be held in Trinitat Vella to discuss employment, unemployment and basic income at a time when Iniciativa Cultural Baja a la Plaza (Take to the Streets Cultural Initiative) is taking shape. In this new “take” the job insecurity of Las Kellys is on the agenda with a proposal to create a campaign map to renounce the abuse and job pressure that this group is subjected to.

The activity is linked to Sunday Every Day, a project by Julia Montilla, which is part of the In-Transition-Work exhibition, on display on the second floor of the Art Centre.
When: 25 March 2017
Type of activity: mapping followed by drinks and snacks
Time: 18:00 to 20:00
Place: plaça de la Trinitat
How to get there:
BUS 11, 40, 126, 127
METRO L1 (Trinitat Vella)
With the participation of Las Kellys, Iniciativa Cultural Baja a la Plaza, Trinitat Vella Library Reading Group.
