Presentation of Mutaciones en el espacio público en Galicia (Mutations in public space in Galicia)

The event will be led by the artist and architect, Jacobo Bugarín, and Fran Quiroga, coordinator of Concomitentes, and co-author and co-editor of the work.

We have an appointment! Next Thursday, 27 January at 20hrs, we will present our book Mutations in Public Space at NUMAX, a film and bookshop cooperative, located in Santiago de Compostela. The event will be led by the artist and architect, Jacobo Bugarín, y Fran Quiroga, coordinator of Concomitentes, and co-author and co-editor of the book.

Our book, which came out last July, is a bid to think together about what the pandemic revealed to us.. A process that has obligatorily constrained us from public space and that has brought to light political processes that have affected the growing normativisation of space, social inequality, distrust of the other, the dismantling of public or community initiatives or the desire for immediacy.

Among the contributions included in the book are those of Eneas Bernal, Haizea Barcenilla, Amador Fernández-Savater, Marcos García, María Shéhérazade Guidici, Alexander Koch, Amparo Lasen, Anastassia Makridou Bretonneau, Mary Mattingly, Jara Rocha, Hito Steyerl, Lindsey Stonebridge and José María Torres Nadal; together with Sören Meschede and Fran Quiroga, as co-editors of the work.

Mutations in Public Space is a book made in collaboration with Bartlebooth, a publishing and research platform that examines contemporary spatial practice.
