Unresolved pieces

Unresolved pieces is a workshop given by Catarina Botelho that is part of the educational program Extreteixides, a collaboration between the Centre Cívic Can Felipa, Hangar and La Escocesa.

In times of global pandemic we live even more in uncertainty. We move with a certain strangeness through a gap between that previous life that we no longer have and another that we await its arrival.

More than a few of us carry around discomforts, worries, fears or anxieties; all too often we do so alone, in these big cities where spaces and times for real encounters are scarce.

In these cities defined by production and consumption, wastelands appear as interruptions, the last spaces of freedom. These fragments of collective unconscious form a limbo, without rules or hierarchies, open to different possibilities of existence.

Places of (re)invention that perhaps can serve us at this moment, as spaces of welcome to what we carry inside and we have nowhere to put.

This workshop will try to be a space for thought, exchange and reflection on how we have lived this last year, having as a starting point an incursion into the wastelands of Poblenou.
