MAY 22nd and 23rd, 2026

A two-day exhibition of wildlife photography by David Lerch, whose work over the past decade has focused on the raw and remote landscapes of the High Arctic. Since his first expedition to Svalbard, David has dedicated himself to capturing the fragile beauty of the Arctic. His project, “Eye to Eye with Arctic Foxes,” offers an intimate glimpse into the hidden lives of these resilient survivors. By photographing at the animals’ eye level, he creates striking images that narrow the distance between humans and nature, inviting viewers into a direct and personal encounter with Arctic wildlife. Join us for this unique opportunity to experience the Arctic in the heart of Barcelona.

UNMAKING BORDERS
Saturday October 4th, 2025
4th to the 8th October
Unmaking Borders, a group exhibition exploring the many forms of boundaries that shape, and constrain our lives. Borders are more than lines on a map. They can be geographical, cultural, linguistic, gendered, class-based, or imposed through systems of power and occupation.
They define who belongs and who is excluded, who is visible and who remains unseen. Unmaking Borders can be a hopeful undoing of divisions through empathy, creativity, and human connection, or the violent erasure of borders by power, colonisation, or military occupation.
Shyne Eghosa

TRACES OF US
May 3rd, 2024
6pm to 10pm
What marks do we leave behind—on people, places, objects?
Traces of Us brings together artists exploring the invisible yet undeniable ways we shape and are shaped by the world around us. Through painting, sculpture, and mixed media, the works capture the imprints of touch, the echoes of memory, and the emotional residues that linger across time and space.

THE SHADOW OF GIANTS
Feb 15th, 2025

Olatubosun Owonifari is a Nigerian-born UX designer and digital artist based in Barcelona. He has always been captivated by Manga, drawn to its dynamic narratives, intricate characters, and bold stylistic choices. This early passion stayed with him through college, where he studied graphic design and honed his skills in composition, typography, and user-centered aesthetics. Over time, his fascination with visual storytelling and culture evolved into a creative practice that blends his design expertise with his love for Manga’s unique aesthetic. His latest collection, “In the Shadow of Giants”, reimagines iconic Manga characters and themes through digital printmaking.
FRAGMENTS OF HOME
FEB 8th, 2025
6pm to 10pm
Explores the multifaceted concepts of belonging and displacement. In a world shaped by migration, cultural intersections, and evolving identities, this exhibition delves into the emotional and physical landscapes of “home.”
Through diverse media and perspectives, the exhibition seeks to unpack what “home” means in contemporary society, offering a glimpse into the fluid, fragmented nature of belonging. Whether through memories, inherited traditions, or reimagined spaces we seek to discover the personal and collective journeys of finding or losing a sense of place.

WINE AND WISDOM
Jan 17th, 2025
7pm to 8.30pm
Wine and Wisdom, the curious hour - Join us for an evening of conversation, reflection, and community as we gather around the work and legacy of Hilma af Klint (1862–1944), the Swedish painter and mystic now widely recognised as one of the true pioneers of abstract art. Long overlooked by mainstream art history, af Klint’s work draws on spirituality, symbolism, and a deep connection to the unseen. Over a glass of wine, we’ll explore her life, her visionary paintings, and the questions her legacy raises: Why was her work hidden for decades? What does it mean when women’s contributions to art are erased or minimised?
