Manifesta 15 offers a tailored program for secondary schools aimed at sparking discussions and rethinking our social and environmental contexts through art, culture, and contemporary thought. Through a mediation approach, participants engage in collective debates centred around artistic projects. Mediators facilitate the emergence of questions, gather responses, and foster discussions to ensure that the group's perceptions evolve through collective reflection.

Workshop at the former Gustavo Gili publishing house

The former Gustavo Gili publishing house stands out as a remarkable example of Catalan architecture from the 1950s, designed by architects Joaquim Gili and Francesc Bassó, both members of Grup R. At the biennial headquarters, three archival research projects are presented that challenge dominant narratives and unearths subaltern perspectives, enriching our understanding of the region's history. Revisiting collective memory, it sheds light on silenced narratives of resilience from marginalised groups in Catalonia through a postcolonial and antiracist perspective.

The workshop is centred around an exhibition "Archivos Negros: Fragments of an Anti-colonial Metropolis" that proposes to revise colonial imaginaries and metropolitan post coloniality through conversations, literature, poetry and music addressing political, collective and domestic memories.

The workshop is designed for secondary school groups from 1st to 4th ESO, 1st and 2nd Batx, and vocational training.
