The Panoràmic Festival arrives in Terrassa!
This year, in its 8th edition, we begin a new stage incorporating various cultural spaces of the city of Terrassa in the narrative of the festival.
The Panoràmic Festival encompasses various artistic proposals under the theme “Extremes. Times of polarization”. The artistic narratives presented explore the aesthetics of polarization in our contemporary history from different approaches; political, economic, in matters of gender or sexual identity, social inequality, also regarding the consequences of natural disasters, territorial limits, polarization resulting from power, money, in war conflicts, also in forms resulting from these extreme positions as in the case of violence, control…

From November 14 to December 29, Panoràmic will be installed mainly in the Tobella Archive and the Sala Muncunill, promoting synergies to extend the festival to all audiences through the proposals of the artists presented. To make this possible, several activities will take place during these weeks, from guided visits to the exhibitions, screenings, workshops, participatory calls with students of visual arts…
The exhibition proposals that we will find in Terrassa present two different narratives. In the first case we will find a proposal, of which we will give you more details soon, curated by Andrés Hispano and Fèlix Pérez-Hita. On the other hand, the exhibition presented at the Tobella Archive is approached from the line of the Panoràmic File, the festival’s project that allows a dialogue between archive and artist, between memory and contemporary creation. The intervention in the Tobella Archive focuses on the artist Ro Caminal, with the title “Distanciaments”, curated by Mercè Alsina. There we will find a project that immerses itself in the background of this archive and with images of the city of Terrassa to find spaces of interaction in which the image of the “other” can be represented with an artistic and anthropological look. With a transversal reading of the archive’s materials, it will investigate the interstitial spaces where phenomena that are not central to the archive’s categories, but are nevertheless represented, take place.
