“Embody. An Incomplete Collection: Works Around the Body” is a co-edited book that compiles that compiles a wide diversity of ideas where the body, as a channel or semiotic subject, turns into a medium through which to articulate human emotions and to describe our relation with everyday life.
The idea of the body as a capsule of meaning is exposed in this publication through the analisis of performance, and how this discipline has embodied and represented human feelings for the last decades.
Soberano, a misogynist Brand, traditional and based on its legacy, faces a communicative crisis. Its relevance and notoriety have fallen and what once was, no longer is. Times have changed, regardless, its DNA remains unchanged trying to reach a younger audience with messages of old.
The brand only has one option: to die
Even if it’s to be reborn into something new, in this case a discography, “Talento Soberano”. It fusions traditional spanish folklore with other musical genres creating something new and fresh. A new economic-communicative activity for the Brand that allows it to make a space in the competent and atomized market of spirit drinks. This way, it can change its egocentric and unidirectional discourse for one that lets it provide value and voice to audiences, forging an emotional link.
Project located in Cánteles Petites, a small bay in Roses. The site faces the sea in its south with mountains on its upper side. The site has residential area with other amenities around it. It can be approached from two sides making it quite approachable. This place has a lot of importance to the owner’s family as primarily it was their summer house that turned into a beautiful rent out space. Therefore, it had a journey to offer us.
The site is situated on a slope and has these beautiful 7 blocks white painted with terracotta tiles on its roof. The site is engulfed with a lot of greenery. Pathways lead to different blocks yet create a mystery in itself. After visiting this beautiful site all we could capture were the views while standing in the balconies and not to miss the wind flowing from the north in the site.
The solution: the use of waste from renewable raw materials. This new glass discovers infinite supply chains by using waste which has no value so far: Wood ash from pizza bakeries and shells from seafood restaurants. Private wood-burning stoves are also a valuable source, and many more such as grills and fire pits have been tested. These renewable raw materials are available in large quantities in many cities and have so far been thrown away. Potassium carbonate can be extracted from wood ash. A forgotten flux that was used in previous years. Seashells consist largely of calcium carbonate and once formed some of the limestones. Finely ground they give glass the well-known durability.
The increasingly scarce material quartz sand has not yet been replaced. In contrast to concrete and other high consumers, glass can be recycled endlessly. It can even be ground to sand again, which means that the material is in a closed cycle if the additives are harmless. Unfortunately, many glasses are not. “From the ashes” is a 100% natural glass, free of toxic or limited additives and made for next generations.
Barcelona is a city of markets, and these are an essential part of its identity.
It counts with over 40 active ones, and they are distributed all along the city’s different neighbourhoods, but it isn’t usual to find younger people in them. Being conscious of the importance of local, ethical and healthy food consumption, why don’t they contemplate the market as a shopping possibility?
“After Market” is an initiative that attempts to bring young people to local markets, where through a series of actions it aims to familiarise them with their culture. These are social meeting places, and we want them to not only promote quality, local and sustainable consumption, but also to be a place to have a good time with events outside the usual opening hours, night markets, live music and packs that make shopping easier.
