Besòs, post-zona de sacrifici? Passejada performativa pel riu

Besòs, post-sacrifice zone?
Walk with activities along the Besòs River, part of the SIT PLU 2026 project.

With: Natalia Carminati, Espectros de lo urbano (Nancy Garín, Antoine Silvestre), pantea, Hannah O’Flynn – Tian Guoxin, and Idensitat.
Departure point: Metro La Verneda
Date and time: November 7th, 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

This walk includes four artistic activities invited by Idensitat, within the European project SIT PLU – Situated Creative Practices for the Pluriverse –, which addresses socio-ecological challenges through interdisciplinary research and artistic interventions in specific contexts.

For SIT PLU, Idensitat proposed the concept of a “sacrifice zone” as a framework to develop, between 2026 and 2027, two artistic residencies (with Hannah O’Flynn – Tian Guoxin and Maria Nalbantova) and two public programmes.

During the walk along the Besòs River, Natalia Carminati, Espectros de lo urbano (Nancy Garín, Antoine Silvestre), pantea, Hannah O’Flynn – Tian Guoxin, and Idensitat will activate various interventions which intend to provoque a critical reflection upon the concept of a “sacrifice zone”, understood as a space in transformation from which new, unexpected forms of life, relationships, and practices of resistance can and do emerge.

As part of this walk, we will distribute a publication featuring contributions from the artists to support the activities throughout the route. This publication was designed and printed at La Escocesa’s risograph workshop.

SIT-PLU is a medium-scale Creative Europe cooperation project involving the following partners: LUCA School of Arts (BE), Floating University (DE), ZEMOS98 (ES), Idensitat (ES), Lungomare (IT), Baltan Laboratories (NL), EINA (ES), Universitat Politècnica de València (ES). SIT-PLU is co-funded by the European Union and Generalitat de Catalunya.
