The exhibition brings together three installations, which are a tour around the urban space: Fin de silencio (End of silence), a place of rest and reflection created from a collection of rugs which poetically reproduce the Havana shop signs of the 1950s. Alcantarillas (Drains), a reproduction of Bilbao’s ground space, where the spectator enters a zone in which rebellion and protest rise from the ground itself, causing the city to speak from its core; and finally, Partitura (Score), a music composition which rewrites a new score based on the different sounds of the city’s wandering musicians, forming a portrait of the contemporary city.
