em sap greu. Mireia Comas

em sap greu (sorry) is an artistic investigation into Granollers that takes the city’s reputation as an ugly city as its starting point, exploring other ways of looking at, moving through and inhabiting it. Through observation, documentation, and the collection of memories, anecdotes and everyday traces, the project constructs a view of the city that goes beyond its appearance. The growth of new neighbourhoods, the repetition of architectural models, difficulties in accessing housing and the displacement towards the margins are connected to other moments in which the city has been imagined and built in response to particular social and political urgencies, such as the reconstruction of Sant Esteve in the post-war period.

In the exhibition space, this research takes shape through models, images, documents and other elements that unfold some of its threads. It also includes a video work that explores the city through its benches and the views they offer. Together, these elements invite us to look at Granollers, from the everyday to the decisions that have gradually shaped its landscape.

Panoràmic Jove. With the collaboration of the project «Exposa’t» of GRA Jove and Servei de Joventut of the Ajuntament de Granollers.
