As part of the cycle Losing time to gain space, the Mòniques Spaces, Communication and Participation Guilds are inviting Francesco Careri and Gabriela Navas to a talk on 2 May, led by Pedro Bennaton, on situated observation and the concept of drifting. With the prospect of seeing each other the next day to make a drift, the idea is that the talk will have some topics for debate in order to enjoy more intensely this whole cycle made to waste time.

Francesco Careri and Gabriela Navas will give a talk accompanied by stage director Pedro Bennaton on situated observation and drifting.

From the Space, Communication and Participation Guilds of the Mòniques, a small cycle has been prepared around the figure of Francesco Careri and his conception of urban drifting, as an active exploration of the act of walking. This cycle will include a reading club guided by Horacio Espinosa, an open conversation with Francesco Careri and Gabriela Navas, an urban drift from Santa Mònica and a live radio programme looking towards the Ramblas.
