Artists and researchers Agnes Essonti Luque, Albert Gironès, and Eva Paià offer a tour of the exhibition and the development of a collective narrative. The notion of the collective body and the artist's attention to the politics of care are fundamental to the representation, both individually and self-representationally, as well as in the various forms of collaboration the artist has stipulated in his projects over the years.

Bonds is a unique experience that brings together nature, horses, and artistic creation to support well-being and mental health. Held at the Centre d’Equitació Poni Club de Catalunya, this activity is open to both adults and children. The experience follows a three-phase journey: - Discover the Herd – Observe the roles of the horses (leader, companion, sentinel…) as a living metaphor for the balance between individual and collective needs. - Immersion in Silence – Share a quiet space with the herd, cultivating presence, calm, and deep connection. - Creation of Land Art – In small groups, transform reflections and emotions into ephemeral artworks using natural materials, inspired by the bonds observed in the herd. What to Expect: A transformative, accessible, and memorable activity that fosters emotional regulation, creativity, and a sense of community.

We propose an open dance workshop facilitated by Pere Faura and the Sisme team. The activity invites you to experience movement as a space for play, intuition and connection with other people. Based on the flocking technique, we will work on dancing together as an experience of cooperation, listening and shared creation. The proposal is based on the idea that dance is not only an artistic expression, but also a tool for community health: it promotes body awareness, reduces stress and strengthens social bonds. In a world where individualism predominates, this workshop opens a space to feel part of a collective body where each person contributes to the common movement. The result is a lively choreographic experience that enhances emotional and relational well-being through the pleasure of dancing.
