As a curatorial project developed from the Guasch Coranty collection and in collaboration with the MACBA (Museum of Contemporary Art, Barcelona), “I, Missile” offers an open reading in personal, social and political terms, about the idea of ​​vital trajectory, equally subject to determination, convention and, of course, inevitable deviations and drifts towards the unexpected. The process can be derived from a failure as a result of a system error or a renunciation to the established conditions. In either case it involves a capacity of empowerment that activates the politic power of the subject.

“La ciudad salvaje. Tour por la auténtica Barcelona oculta.” May 31, 16:00 hrs.
This activity is proposed as a touristic route through Barcelona within which the living conditions of african inmigrante people of the city will be shown. The artwork not only breaks with the tourist itineraries to give voice to some hidden facets of Barcelona, but at the same time puts in dialog the concept of tourism with the one of immigration, the latter related to the failure of the “European Dream”, and henceforth linked to the idea of derivation of a predetermined idea.
