What's On

The Pain Working Group (TraDoP) of CAMFiC invites you to the fourth edition of this conference, organized as part of World Pain Day, to explore the intersection of art and health. Can art transform the way we understand and approach pain? At the 4th TraDoP Conference, we will examine how artistic expressions can become a therapeutic tool within the biopsychosocial model, offering new perspectives for pain management. Under the theme “Pain and Art”, the conference will delve into the psychological and social dimensions of pain, showing how creativity can facilitate communication, empower patients, and address the emotional component of suffering in a more holistic way. During breaks and the closing session, artistic expressions will be displayed on the screens in the various rooms. We encourage you to submit your own works, or works by people affected by painful conditions, in any format you consider appropriate (photography, short poem, painting, phrase, etc.) by October 15. In the evening, there will be a concert by Cor Flumine at the Cloister of Espai Casal Tortosí, with free admission for the general public.

From AMAGATS, the first gallery dedicated to creative processes, we propose a workshop in dialogue with the exhibition "State Secrets" by Joan Casellas. The objective of the workshop is to generate a collective space of calm, introspection, and transformation through art, nature, and ritual. Participants will explore what they want to leave behind and, at the same time, project a desire for change onto the sea, a symbol of renewal and infinity. Casellas's work speaks of mystery, of what remains hidden and what is transformed, and from this inspiration we offer an experience with a therapeutic intention and open to everyone. The workshop has two parts: first visit (30 min) of the exhibition, "State Secrets" by Joan Casellas and we will walk to the Poblenou beach where we will combine silence,

The Respira Serra de la Llena program draws inspiration from the principles of healthogenesis and the healing arts, fostering holistic well-being through a deep connection with nature, conscious movement, and sensory expression. Set in the heart of the Prades Mountains, this experience combines forest bathing, qigong, and mindfulness to support emotional regulation, full presence, and personal transformation—backed by scientific evidence on the benefits of nature for physical, mental, and social health. Framed within the healing arts approach, the program emphasizes culture as a tool for health and integrates sustainability, inclusion, and empowerment as core values. Throughout the activities, participants are guided using the language of psychological intervention in natural settings—presence, emotional regulation, sense of coherence, self-regulation, coping, and body awareness—ensuring a healthy and transformative experience. This program takes place in a rich cultural, community, and spiritual setting (aplecs) in Sant Miquel de la Tosca, El Vilosell, Lleida.

This activity proposes an intergenerational space for encounter and collective creation through embroidery, with the aim of generating a shared manifesto around care and its multiple articulations. For two hours, participants will be invited to reflect on the affective, political, and social dimensions of caregiving while embroidering phrases, words, or symbols that emerge from the shared dialogue. Embroidery will be understood not only as a technique, but as a sensitive practice that fosters listening, situated thinking, and the building of connections. Throughout the event, short texts and excerpts from contemporary authors who have reflected on caregiving from feminist, community, and poetic perspectives will be shared. These materials will act as triggers for conversations, the exchange of experiences, and, in turn, a shared narrative that will be captured on a large canvas. The activity aims to open a sustained space for horizontal co-creation in which craftsmanship combines with critical and affective thinking. The result will be an embroidered manifesto that captures the voices and sensibilities of all the participants, as a testament to a shared reflection on how we inhabit—and want to inhabit—caregiving. Organized by: Colectivo Corso

In this workshop, we will provide an introduction to Art Therapy. First, we will briefly explain what it entails and its current applications in our region. Next, participants will have time for experiential exploration through a proposed activity. Finally, we will open a space for sharing and learning more. Art Therapy offers emotional support and guidance while also engaging the individual in a creative process that allows them to work through personal experiences and integrate them emotionally. This is achieved through a wide range of expressive modalities—movement, music, voice, visual arts, creative writing, and more—which enable participants to externalize their experiences, give them form, and relate to them from a broader and healthier perspective. This activity is part of the Museums: Spaces of Well-Being project, developed by six museums and the five primary health areas of the Baix Empordà region. The initiative was born from the desire to highlight museums as spaces that contribute to the health and well-being of the population, while raising awareness about the importance of taking care of our emotional well-being. www.museudelamediterrania.cat
