The talk will open a space for dialogue and reflection on artistic creation as a tool for personal and collective well-being. It will be complemented by a visit to a painting exhibition created by participants from the Art Atelier, a workshop held at the same community center hosting the event. It is part of the Rompe/mentes Conference and invites you to discover the more than ten years of experience of the Red Sin Gravedad organization in the region. The Network promotes more than 30 community and artistic workshops, free and open to all citizens, with or without a mental health diagnosis.

This project invites participants to embark on an artistic journey of body mapping, guided by feminist and intersectional perspectives. The workshop begins with a simple but powerful idea: the body is not just flesh, but a political and emotional territory, carrying memories, wounds, and desires. Likewise, the places we inhabit leave traces of history, violence, and belonging on our bodies. Participants are encouraged to create their own “body territories”, individually or collectively, filling them with everyday experiences, affective milestones, and symbolic spaces. When these maps are shared in a circle, connections emerge — overlapping stories, divergent paths, and the collective struggles that unite them.

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,
