Drap-Art’23 : Opening week at Artesania Catalunya
November 21, 2023

The long-awaited time has come to inaugurate the exhibition of the artists of the Drap-Art’23 call. Today at 18.30 we open doors to Artesania Catalunya to show the works of the 23 artists selected this year: Paulina Bielecka, José Manuel Carretero, Adri.n Crocco, Dionisio Fabriani Bernardi “Ianiardi”, Roger Ferralla, Amadeu Flix Miguel “Up Cycling Design Amadis”, Stephanie Frings “SUZU”, Alejandro Gonz.lez Moreno “Alejo”, Daniel Osvaldo Gonz.lez “Bichorobot”, Marian Irigoyen Otazu, Omar Iv.n Jaime Araujo, Marie Lalo, Didier Maes, Dare Martínez “Mara,a Gestual”, Albert Merino, Mario Molins, Víctor Mondragón “Moondrake”, André de S. Moreira “Asamos”, Joaquín Riera “Recuperart”, Paloma Rodríguez, Lisa Rubin and Enric Servera. Artists, who find their natural habitat in Artesania Catalunya, since they move between the most innovative and sustainable contemporary art and well-done artisanal work; who claim peace, collaborative work, the feeling of unity between human beings and nature, recover the inner voice and listen to ourselves and the world around us.
At the inauguration, one of the participating artists, Omar, will also delight us with his musical project, the OMI Project with the Hang Drum and recycled instruments of own creation and then the dancers Arnau Moreno Grau and Adri Garcia will give us a danced interpretation of the exhibition.
We continue in the same space, tomorrow morning from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., with the Art and Weaving workshop, offered by Eulalia Grau Costa and Andrea Martínez Arroyo, within the framework of the collaboration with the Faculty of Fine Arts of the UB and ApS.
And to finish the activities of the week we will have the premiere in Barcelona of the short HUM (we/us) by Bombay artist Little Shilpa, on fashion, sustainability and gender. This kaleidoscopic aesthetic extravagance, directed by the brilliant Ashim Ahluwalia of Future East and designed with its mestizo and colorful style by Little Shilpa honors and puts the marginalized, victims of social discrimination, at the forefront. Drag Kings giants, people disfigured by acid, among others, enter an artistic dimension with fantastic costumes of recycled materials that do not stop having a meaning beyond aesthetics.
