Cristina Lucas's All About Color is a project that focuses on plurality as a political condition and draws a comparison between the alleged objectivity of the official historic and cartographic representations and the unlimited subjective interpretations these two aspects provide.
 
The exhibit's title, as well as the installation of which it forms part –Pantone -500 2007–, alludes to the cartographic code's symbolic use of colour to determine the geopolitical limits of countries, as well as the system of flags which propitiates our collective identity. The exhibition area is inhabited by a series of individuals who, using their bodies and voices, construct narratives which explore the fundamental aspects of state and nation, the borders which delimit them and the flags which set them apart. Each interprets the culture of time and space in their own particular manner, and each, and therefore the spectator, interprets history based of their respective world views. Thus they comprise a fusion of horizons, to quote Hans-Georg Gadamer, which claims that the acquisition and comprehension of knowledge is based on one's cultural, social, economic and historical background.
 

microRavals
At microRavals, as regards the exhibit, we take as a starting point the Fribourg Declaration on cultural rights. This text was submitted in 2007 by the Observatory of Diversity and Cultural Rights, in partnership with the International Organisation of La Francophonie and UNESCO, and was backed by over fifty human rights experts and an NGO platform. Based on several articles from the Fribourg Declaration, microRavals works with various cultural communities in the area around Arts Santa Mònica; communities with no visibility or representation in the traditional dominant channels. In this regard, mention must be made of two issues raised by this document: the right to be a producer of culture and not simply a consumer; and that it equates popular culture to the culture of excellence.

 
Shots in the Middle of the Concert. From correct distance to proximity is a series of exhibitions centred on the work of six artists who set out to engender a critical vision of the reality around them, while reducing the distance between themselves and the issues they raise in their respective projects in order to declare themselves and in one way or another adopt a position by means of their involvement.
