Drap-Art joins the Zero Waste Festival and closes the Drap-Art Illes exhibition at Fundació Cuixart

Written by Saba on . Posted in News.

On March 26 and 27, Drap-Art will take part in the Zero Waste Festival at Palo Alto Barcelona, an event that brings together initiatives that promote sustainability, reuse, and the circular economy. Over two days, the public will discover pioneering projects and learn more about Drap-Art’s work in the field of creative recycling and sustainable art. Tickets can be purchased through the official website: festivalresiduzero.org.

Meanwhile, on Thursday, March 27, the finissage of the Drap-Art Illes “Go green go blue” exhibition will take place at the Fundació Cuixart, marking the end of a show that has connected the island territory with a transformative vision of sustainable art. This exhibition has provided an opportunity to highlight Balearic artists working with creative recycling and to build bridges between disciplines, territories, and diverse audiences.

Through these two actions, Drap-Art continues to weave alliances and create spaces for connection between art, community, and the environment.

With the increase in waste and the lack of environmental awareness, we want to launch Re(Ciclat)Barna, a community space in the Gothic Quarter to promote reuse, recycling, and sustainable creativity. It will be a meeting point for organizations and neighbors, where we can share knowledge, create with discarded materials, and reduce the “use-and-dispose” culture.

How will this space help?

  • It will improve environmental awareness and action in the neighborhood.
  • It will boost creativity and the use of reused materials.
  • It will connect the community with sustainable initiatives.
  • It will attract visitors interested in responsible consumption and the circular economy.

To make it happen, we need your vote!

Help us transform the Gothic Quarter into a more sustainable neighborhood!

Tribute to Tere Caja: A Voice and a Fight for the Gothic Quarter

Written by Saba on . Posted in News.

The city of Barcelona bids farewell to Tere Caja, a tireless activist and a driving force behind the Gothic Quarter’s community struggles. As a key figure in the Plataforma Borsí, she dedicated her life to defending the rights of local residents and preserving the social fabric in the face of speculative forces transforming the city’s historic center.

With unwavering determination, Tere Caja became a leading voice in the fight for a Gothic Quarter that belongs to its people, working to turn the Borsí into a space for the community. Thanks to her drive and ability to mobilize, she gathered collective efforts to shape projects that prioritized public interest over urban commodification.

From Drap-Art and from all the spaces where she left her mark, we want to remember her with deep gratitude and admiration. Her commitment and fighting spirit will continue to inspire future generations.

Thank you for everything, Tere. Your legacy will keep growing.

From March 4 to 27, the Cuixart Foundation in Palafrugell will host “Drap-Art Illes”, an exhibition bringing together a selection of artists from the Balearic Islands and featuring the special participation of Jeff Midghall, an English artist residing in Palafrugell. This exhibition was part of the Drap-Art’24 Festival and now arrives in Palafrugell to continue promoting the dialogue between art and sustainability.

Inspired by the documentary “Designing Tomorrow” and the 2030 Agenda, “Drap-Art Illes” aims to spark collective reflection on creativity, material reuse, and the construction of a more sustainable future. Throughout the month, local schoolchildren will visit the exhibition as part of an environmental and artistic awareness program.

The exhibition features the participation of the following artists from the Balearic Islands:

  • Creatives for the Planet
  • Sol Couregges Boné
  • Dani Fulla
  • Ezequiel Herrera
  • Emeric Jacob
  • Maria Teresa Matilla
  • Enric Servera
  • Jorge Traverso

Additionally, the exhibition will include Jeff Midghall as a guest artist. Born in Liverpool and trained in sculpture and painting, Midghall has exhibited in prestigious venues such as the National Portrait Gallery in London and the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh.

The exhibition will be open until March 27 at the Cuixart Foundation, located at Carrer Miquel Vincke i Meyer, 12, 17200 Palafrugell.
