towards a nomadic space //

03 Sep towards a nomadic space //

We opened our bodies in 2015, with a physical space in the neighborhood of Santa Eulàlia in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, the dormitory city of Barcelona, ​​a working-class, decrepit industrial territory, an area of ​​real-estate-cultural-human speculation, a testing ground to fatten the usual chauvinists. We have rooted ourselves in L’Hospi during these five years (the same as a raised fist), unpretentious and humble but with a lot of courage and the desire to share and imagine that other cultural spaces are possible, as well as other worlds. We continue to think that they are, we have lived and embodied them together.

We have always stayed in the margins of the margins. We place ourselves and build our own margin in the Trench of Art and Creation, from Sharing, making Community and from the Ephemeral that prevails.

The space of Materic.org in L’Hospitalet has been a temple, a place of learning and sharing in subversive love. We thank this space for its light, generosity and ability to generate energy and synergies.

In June 2020 we saw ourselves without this physical body, after a painful, violent and ultra-neoliberal capitalist process. Mr. owner of the premises has left us without alternatives or negotiations, in the midst of a global crisis.

Our steps continue because we have already traced our pathways. Materic.org has risen up as a nomadic space of radical creation and pedagogy; it has risen as an ethereal body. We have mutated into other becomings. Without physicality we feel free, volatile and light and with you, full of tenderness to continue walking and traveling.

From nomadism we will continue to trace other cultures, art that becomes empowered by being Life and not market, art to share dreams, imaginaries and struggles, art to co-create community.

This nomadism has already taken flight. At this time we have the honor of collaborating with the organisation of  MAR DE ISLAS performance encounter of the Caribbean in Puerto Rico, of being part of ARTefACTe performance laboratory for a new cultural institutionality in Barcelona, of the Encuentro CONTINUO LATIDOAMERICANO DE PERFORMANCE 2020 being part of the Latidoamérica Extendida: Europa committee, we have opened a collaboration door with the CC Convent de St. Agustí in Barcelona and organized a program Radical Pedagogy Online.

A strong subversive hug to the entire community that is and has been accompanying us throughout the process.

Eternal thanks to our expanded family of friends, neighbors, activists, artists, pedagogues, researchers, and beloved bodies.
