ECOSYSTEMIC MEMORIES OF THE CITY

Collaboration with Bornlab (El Borne CCM) for a collective approach to the contemporary imaginary of natural resources and territory, based on the sharing of current geopolitical issues that have an echo in the city of Barcelona.

This edition of the community studies group "Ecosystemic memories of the city" proposes a series of sessions in which we collectively approach the contemporary imaginary of natural resources and territory, based on the sharing of some current geopolitical issues that have an echo in the city of Barcelona.

Natural resources and the territory, based on the sharing of some current geopolitical issues that have an echo in the city of Barcelona. Through the contributions of various entities and people who connect us with critical archives, social actions and cultural initiatives in the city, we will address the recovery of community forms of agricultural social organization in contemporary pedagogies, images and slogans of movements for the protection of the land, as well as the reflection, from various worldviews, on cultural heritage and in connection with environmental issues that affect different international contexts.

The programme is organised in a participatory methodology that includes working groups where knowledge is pooled and perspectives are shared between guests and participants. In the different meetings, cultural proposals are discussed to explore the relationship between memory, community and ecology through collaborative experimentation and public action, which are included in the fanzine that is distributed in the closing session.

The Community Studies Group is a proposal of Bornlab, the community mediation programme of Borne CCM with the support of community mediation programme of Borne CCM in collaboration with Coalició Prou Complicitat amb Israel, La Colectiva de Chilenas de Barcelona, Comunitat Palestina de Barcelona, Laboratorio Móvil, OVNI (observatori de Vídeo No identificat) , Ruangrupa i docents i investigadores de l’Institut Català d’Antropologia, el Col·legi de Psicòlegs de Barcelona, l’Escola Massana and la Universitat de Barcelona.

Four families who live in Bon Pastor, a Barcelona neighbourhood, refuse to leave their single-storey houses. Some refuse because they've lived there for their whole lives, others because they feel they've been duped by the Board of Housing. This video shows the action carried out by the support group “Asemblea de Apoyo a Bon Pastor” in solidarity with the four families who resisted, at a time when it is seen as “politically incorrect” to ask for what you believe is right.

“Located in the historic city center, the once old former Barrio Chino had become a succulent real estate treat waiting to be carved up. To the North, a legion of civilians holed up in museums, universities and centers of contemporary culture waiting until the police finished clearing the streets of the destitute. To the South, the deputies of the tourism industry unloaded the hordes of the idle from the modern cruise ships anchored in the port. It was the start of an all-out siege, a war that fed on the city's streetwalkers. The battle was waged one house at a time...”

A glimpse into the life of Barcelona's Pakistanis. They talk to us about their work, the journey that brought them to Barcelona and their families, among other things. We visit some of the places where they tend to congregate: the Rambla del Raval, telephone centers, Barceloneta beach and the three Chimneys.

The upgrading of the final stretch of Diagonal avenue in Barcelona's Poble Nou area, for the launch of the "Forum" zone, will lead to the physical disappearance of entire blocks of housing and a way of life. An interview with a group of residents affected by a PERI (special renovation plan) that affects a block of ground floor houses in Poble Nou. They talk about the real estate agency's bad management and the lack of interest shown by the City Council in their excitement over the opening of the Universal Forum of Cultures.
