    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.

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.

    Taller de vaixelles comestibles
    Edible crockery workshop. How can we get children to eat fruit and vegetables in a fun, and light-hearted way?

    At the edible crockery workshop, children will create their own seasonal spoons, bowls and glasses using domestic technologies, with fruit and vegetables as their materials.
    The aim is to offer children and parents a fun, creative activity that involves healthy food.
    At the workshop, the children explore the shapes, textures, colours, aromas and tastes of the vegetables, learning concepts such as seasonal produce, location, ecology and properties of the fruit and vegetables. At the same time, the workshop fosters the introduction of these foodstuffs in their daily diets.

    recuperem el valor dels aliments
    Culinary experience: recovering the value of food products

    A free, best-use meal to raise people's awareness about the value of food, preventing food waste and making the best use of food. 200 menus will be served, made using recovered food and a plenty of creativity! Parc de la Barceloneta will become an amplifier for the people and projects that work towards reducing food waste, making the most of food and achieving zero waste. The recovered food is the star of the show! The other ingredient: volunteers. The kitchen will be humming thanks to a team of volunteers who make it possible to recover surplus food, cook and serve the dishes. The selection, cleaning and preparation of all the recovered food is carried out in a fun, relaxed atmosphere. Everyone is welcome! On the same day, we will also be offering recovered food that hasn't been used by the kitchen, at an “adoption stall”, as a donation and act of joint responsibility towards the value of the product.

    We hereby inform you that we cannot guarantee that the meals served during this event are free of substances that may cause some type of allergy or food intolerance.

    Alimentació i justícia social
    Food and social justice. How to make the transition toward food sovereignty

    This debate forum will be centred around social rights as they relate to food. How can we transition towards a model that respects them?

    The right to food is a basic right to be able to live, and it is linked to many other social rights. Currently, however, the food supply model is socially unsustainable, as it does not guarantee access to adequate food for all, and at the same time, it leads to a violation of rights.

    In this discussion forum, different people involved in the agricultural world will talk about their experiences, the violations of rights that occur at the source, but also throughout the entire food chain, and the global impacts of the industrial food system. In addition, emphasis will be placed on possible alternatives to the globalised food system, and on how to make the transition, both in the field and in the city, to move towards food sovereignty with gender justice.

    Anti-speciesism for a sustainable food model

    Animal Rebellion is an international movement calling for a transition to a fair and sustainable, plant-based food system in order to stop the mass extinction of species, alleviate the worst effects of the climate emergency, ensure justice for animals and prevent the climatic and eco-social collapse of our planet.

    The animal industry is one of the main causes of global warming and therefore of climate change.

    We demand that governments and institutions tell the truth and act now!
