Artists from diverse backgrounds come together to design cultural projects in defense of the right to migrate.

This is Fes! Cultura #MigrantAction.

Because we believe in new cultural initiatives. Because we defend human rights. Because we believe in the power of culture, in the strength of collective action, in the reach of creativity, and in the richness of cultural diversity to challenge prejudice and transform mindsets and realities. Because we know there is immense talent. And because we know that many transformative ideas are left behind along the way.

That is why the creative team at Connectats Cooperativa, in collaboration with students from the Cultural Management master’s program at the Universitat de Barcelona and invited professionals, came together over six months to imagine and build a collaborative space with a decolonial and anti-racist approach. A proposal open to creative people from diverse backgrounds so that we can meet and experiment through our different crafts and disciplines; learn and share knowledge; build networks; and think about and design innovative, sustainable cultural projects that contribute to the social and cultural transformation of Barcelona. An incubator for mobilizing initiatives that help write new stories about migration in this city — stories that are more human, community-driven, original, and real, allowing us to live together, and better.

We are education. We are diversity. We are community. We are activism. We are creativity. We are freedom. We are Fes! Cultura transforming reality, #MigrantAction.
