Reading Group// La Trama: Models, Threads and Seeds
Models, Threads and Seeds is an expanded reading group that pitches the projected Barcelona against a popular and counter imagery. Based on the City of Sand exhibition by David Bestué, curated by Marta Sesé at the Fabra i Coats: Contemporary Art Centre of Barcelona, a series of encounters have been organised to bring the contents of the exhibition to the neighbourhoods of Sant Andreu and La Sagrera. Accompanied by different experts who will introduce the sessions, a discussion will then be held among all the participants. Artist Noela Covelo will collect the shared stories and give artistic form to the reports of the sessions.
