30th Anniversary Book Presentation at the CCCB — “Drap-Aires: Històries del Festival Drap-Art”
“Drap-Aires: Històries del Festival Drap-Art” is an editorial and cultural project commemorating 30 years of Drap-Art, with photographs by Consuelo Bautista and texts by Xavier Theros.
Since 1995, Drap-Art has promoted cultural practices that connect artistic creation, environmental awareness and citizen participation through an annual festival with a 30-year history of promoting sustainability through contemporary art, while generating a cultural and visual legacy closely linked to the city of Barcelona. As part of this anniversary, the project takes shape through the publication of a commemorative book bringing together key artists, moments and experiences from the festival, as well as its public presentation on 15 September at the CCCB Mirador at 18:30.
The presentation of the book “Drap-Aires: Històries del Festival Drap-Art” at the CCCB Mirador will be a public cultural and commemorative event centred on Drap-Art’s 30-year history. The presentation will feature Xavier Theros, co-author of the book, as master of ceremonies. He will lead a round table with people connected to the history and evolution of the project, alongside a screening of archival images of the festival by Consuelo Bautista, who has documented Drap-Art throughout these 30 years. If you would like to attend the event, please send an email to info@drap-art.org. We will confirm your attendance subject to venue capacity.
The event is conceived as a meeting point between memory, contemporary culture and shared reflection, with the aim of highlighting Drap-Art’s trajectory and its contribution to the relationship between art, sustainability and social transformation.
