  • Exposició temporal “Alimentar Barcelona. Ciutat, proveïment i salut”
    Temporary exhibition “Feeding Barcelona. City, supply and health”

    Feeding the population has always been a concern for cities. It has been a decisive factor in their relationship with surrounding territories, in the centuries-long evolution of technologies for obtaining food produce and in the conditions under which men and women have been able to feed themselves and stay alive.
    From the outset, one of the main tasks of the Consell de Cent, the Barcelona municipal institution created in 1249, was to guarantee food supplies and ensure food safety. Since then, the city's government has strived to guarantee good quality food supplies, because it has been directly responsible for them, provided support in doing so or has sought alternatives to the insufficient actions of other authorities.  
    The municipal government's intervention continues today, with Mercabarna, Barcelona and the Western Mediterranean's great food store, and the city's network of municipal markets. This long history of decisive municipal involvement in the food supply chain is historically unique to Barcelona, with no similar situation in most other European cities.   
    The exhibition is open from 15 October 2021 to 15 October 2022.

  • Vanesa Muela “de Raíz”. Traditional music

    Vanesa Muela is a singer and multi-instrumentalist who is directly influenced by tradition, the roots and purity of music from other times. In every concert, she is able to showcase the soul of traditional songs that she learnt directly from elderly people. She transmits the magic, energy and feeling of popular music like no other; the ancestral wisdom that she is able to share with the audience i a fun, amenable and interesting way. Vanesa will take you on a journey through the melodies of jotas, fandangos, siguidillas, ligeros, agarraos, charradas and corridos, to the sound of tambourines, petxinas, spoons, guitars, sieves, etc.

  • Taste the waste (a documentary by Valentin Thurn, 2010)

    Amazing, but true: from the farm to the dining table, more than half of the food is thrown away and much of that food never reaches consumers. Why are these increasingly large amounts of food being destroyed? In this documentary we will look for explanations for this waste.

    This activity is part of the Betevé documentary film series that includes the films Fermentación espontánea, Taste the waste, Food for change and Il mare piange.

  • Presentació de “Repoblem”
    Presentation of “Repoblem” [Repopulating]

    “Repoblem” [Repopulating] is a social network initiative to connect towns and villages suffering from depopulation with people who are keen to live in those villages.
    “Repoblem” disseminates campaigns and offers from town councils who wish to attract new inhabitants, offers of housing, the transfer of businesses and jobs in towns or regions which are suffering from depopulation. It also disseminates pleas from people who are looking for a place in the rural world to begin or modify their life projects. In short, it makes social media act as such: networks that connect people and towns to help reverse depopulation and rebalance the country, in terms of people, services, activities, infrastructures and political clout.

  • Visita guiada a la Llotja de Mar de Barcelona
    Guided tour of the Confraria de Pescadors de Barcelona. How do fish get from the sea to our table?

    The fish market is a specific part of the Barcelona fishing port where the fish that have been caught during the day are auctioned off for sale. On the occasion of Sustainable Food Week, the market opens its doors so that we can learn about the fleet of the Fishermen’s Guild of la Barceloneta, the various fishing methods used and the environmental impact they have. During the visit, we will talk about the types of fishing and the methods used to catch different species, while learning what a day at the market is like, what species are sold at auction, and what measures are being taken to address the new challenges that are putting marine ecosystems at risk.
