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.
