Activity around the exhibition “La Biblioteca” by Stella Rahola Matutes

The proposal reflects on how materials expelled by the system are transformed into an archaeology of the present, and how fragility invites attention and care — understanding that materiality is not separate from ourselves and revealing the relationships established between the different bodies that participate in the installation.
