From 2 to 4 May, on the occasion of the Festival Flors i violes, you can visit the participatory installation Nosaltres tenim les mans... by the artist Marta Vergonyós Cabratosa at the Museu Can Mario, a work that evokes the memory of the space, its light and the female presence at the Can Mario factory.
In addition, on Saturday 3 May and Sunday 4 May at 12.30 p.m., we invite you to create a collective installation inside the Can Mario Museum. We will make a cyanotype with our hands and the natural light from the windows and we will create a piece with all of them that will be configured symmetrically until we create an image that invokes the presence of the workers who had previously occupied this same space. Simultaneously, and in the same way as was done in the factory when someone read to accompany the work being carried out, we will have the music and the intimate voice of the Catalan singer Uma Bunnag Blacker.
