“The only crime that the inmates of Migrant Detention Centres (CIE) have committed is to cross some border or other, to be poor, and to be black, that's all. Remember that these people are the grandchildren of the slaves who were hunted down like animals and loaded onto ships...” Lamine Sarr. “Nobody sees the reality of Migrant Detention Centres, it's a hidden reality.” Aziz Faye.

Presentation of collectives and debate. March 3, 2016 - Hall CCCB The Popular Union for Street Vendors aims to become a political lobby to defend the claims and needs of Barcelona's street vendors against persecution, discrimination and racism. The situations that street vendors find themselves in on a daily basis require a quick, organised response and first-hand communication with political authorities and the media, in their own voice.
Interview with Lucas Tello and Pedro Jiménez members of the collective Zemos98 of Seville.
"In late 1986, President Reagan signed the first major revision of our nation´s Immigraction Law in twenty years."
UntitledThousands of people visit London every summer. They fill the streets with shopping bags and cameras and enjoy all the possibilities of the capital. But amongst the crowd another type of visitor exists. Kwaku is a Ghanaian living in London. There, he finds himself dealing with loneliness and boredom. He is living on standby, dreaming of a full time job and also of a friend to count on.
UntitledBetween March and April 2020 almost all of humanity have been confined to their homes due to the coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic. This confinement, with its uncertain end, has revealed to many the incalculable value of a window. But, does everybody have one?
Departing from the title, the video establishes a divergent parallelism in between the wife of the Senegalese migrants’ and the Odysseus’ Penelope. The protagonist do not just take Penelope’s roll, but subvert it. Parallelism due the similarity in the long periods waiting for their husbands’ return home. Divergence because, here these women take the enunciation power, to tell us how they deal with their reality and they how negotiate with the social pressure surrounding them, that like in the Odysseus, would love relegating them into a second term.
“I live on the campus of the Gaston Berger University at Saint Louis, Senegal. I have met there Africans from different parts of the continent. Of all these friends, one of them, a Senegalese, has stuck in my mind. He was the first to speak to me of my difference, the fact that I come from Central Africa. He let me become acquainted with his society, its taboos. Today I do not know where he is. I just know that one day he left on a pirogue headed for Europe. From his absence came the desire to make a film on our meeting, our differences, the places we crossed, the friends we knew.”
Untitled- “It’s hard to come to terms with the fact that the supposedly civilised society that you fled to, seeking refuge, is so brutal.” -“People say: “get civilised”. But when you get civilised you realise that it’s the worst thing they could have taught you. Do you know what they mean by “getting civilised”? Have money, go shopping, spend money, and always keep in your head: I want more, more, more... Consume.” - the persistence of Eurocentrism in European dissidence. (*) Title of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s last interview.
Nievell Zero - Fundació Suñol - Act 34
Opening: Thursday 21st, July, 7:30 pm
The works selected for Act 34 at Nivell Zero focus on analysing the concept of the city as a diverse, living, alternating phenomenon. Seen through this prism, the other city is an imagined, dreamed, stifled, revolutionised, abandoned place that eschews the neoliberal paradigm of the metropolis as a stage for doing business and disdains the identical, cloned theme-park cities found in so many places across the world.
The six works featured in the show shine a torch into the dark corners of cities such as Barcelona, Cairo, Casablanca, Marseille, Naples and Beirut.
Each video will be screened as a looped projection at Nivell Zero on a given day of the week. In parallel, visitors can also watch eight documentaries from OVNI Archives, on demand on two computers in the gallery.
