Art

In 2026, Barcelona marks the centenary of Antoni Gaudí's death — a year in which the city has also been designated World Capital of Architecture by UNESCO, placing it at the heart of a global conversation about one of history's most extraordinary creative minds. To celebrate, we are welcoming one of the world's leading authorities on Gaudí and Barcelona's modernist architecture for an evening of conversation, stories and discovery. **Gijs van Hensbergen** is a Dutch art historian, Hispanist and author whose work has brought Gaudí to readers around the world. Trained at the Courtauld Institute of Art, he wrote the first critical biography of Antoni Gaudí, widely praised as the definitive account of the man and his work. He has since written on Gaudí's Sagrada Família for Bloomsbury, appeared on CBS 60 Minutes, BBC Radio 4 and TV3, and lectured at institutions including the Museo del Prado, the National Gallery London and the Reina Sofía. His writing has appeared in The Guardian, The Times, the Wall Street Journal and El País, among many others. This evening, in conversation with moderator **Nick Lloyd**, Gijs will take us behind the stones and spires — into the life, obsessions and genius of Gaudí, and what it means to be in Barcelona during this once-in-a-century year. Nick Lloyd is a writer, historian, and founder of Spanish Civil War Tours, a project dedicated to bringing the stories of the conflict to life through guided visits to key sites across Catalonia and Aragón. Over the years, his work has helped connect countless visitors with Spain’s complex past, weaving together the political, cultural, and personal dimensions of the war. This event is made possible thanks to ***Seven Dreams of Gaudí***, an ambitious concert project co-created and produced by Renée Cooke, premiering at the Palau de la Música Catalana as part of the Year of Gaudí celebrations.

Had a psychedelic or spiritual awakening? A vivid dream or unique experience? Come integrate it with us through art. On **June 9th at Mokxa Center**, we’ll gather for an evening of creativity, embodiment, and inner exploration. Through guided practices inspired by Jungian active imagination, we’ll connect more deeply with the body and subconscious mind, then allow inner imagery, emotions, and symbols to emerge naturally. From there, we’ll express what comes up through visual art with the option for writing. We’ll close with an optional sharing circle — a space to be witnessed, reflect, and connect with others walking similar paths. This is not about “being good at art”, it’s about allowing the creator within all of us, and freeing ourself through presence. 📍 Mokxa Center 📅 June 9 💸 €12 transfer or cash 🎨 We’ll provide the art supplies! (Can bring your own if you please) 📝Bring a journal/pen if you like to write reflections down **Co-hosted by Anushree from** [Sun Meets Flower Collective](Instagram.com/sunmeetsflower.collective) — a creative gathering space for integrating spiritual awakening through artistic expression, for lifeforce and liberation.

Heu vist la portada d’aquesta activitat? Doncs, segur que recordeu **aquells ulls verds magnètics**, plens de por i de dignitat, que van donar la volta al món des de la portada de National Geographic l’any 1985. Era la imatge de la **Sharbat Gula**, una nena en un camp de refugiats al Pakistan que es va convertir, sense saber-ho, **en el símbol universal del drama del poble afganès**. Aquella fotografia no va ser fruit de l’atzar, sinó del talent de **Steve McCurry**, un dels grans mestres de la fotografia contemporània. McCurry no és només un fotògraf de guerra o un reporter; és **un col·leccionista d’ànimes que ha passat més de quatre dècades viatjant pels set continents**, capturant la bellesa enmig del conflicte i la resiliència enmig de la pobresa. Palau Martorell i Arthemisia presenten **“ICONS”**, la retrospectiva més espectacular i completa **mai realitzada a Barcelona** dedicada a **Steve McCurry, un dels fotògrafs més cèlebres i reconeguts del món**. A partir d’un projecte d’Orion57 i comissariada per Biba Giacchetti en col·laboració amb l’artista, amb **més de 150 obres mestres**, l’exposició és un viatge extraordinari entre rostres, paisatges i escenes de la vida quotidiana, **amb algunes de les imatges més icòniques de tots els temps**. *Realitzarem una visita guiada descobrint la mirada de Steve, gaudint de les seves obres més destacades, en una exposició única a Barcelona!* *A on?
