Three walks focused on the integration of places of death into Barcelona’s urban life
This activity proposes three reflections on death, focusing on its perceptions, rituals and spaces. It takes the form of three Sunday walks through the city of Barcelona, on which death will become an experience connected to life and the city. Let’s step out and delve into Barcelona’s funerary customs and culture.
The third walk takes us to Montjuïc Cemetery, the hidden side of the mountain. Winding our way up from the sea, we follow a path of mourning across the cemetery, eventually reaching the summit where the city of the dead and the city of the living meet and interact. This walk aims to connect monumental funerary spaces with the romantic notion of the sublime in nature, creating an emotional landscape in which architecture and the environment merge into a unified narrative.
On the walks, participants are provided with a fanzine that offers visual, theoretical and contextual documentation to further explore the theme. Living with Death is also a way to experience its spaces and reconnect them with everyday urban life.
