The three brigades met and interviewed with different leaders and activists. A photo exhibition of three different countries, but with many elements in common. Women fighters who daily face gender violence and different political, economic, social and cultural violence. The documentary ‘Palestine: Nissah’ and the official presentation of the 2020 Solidarity Brigades will also be screened during the opening ceremony. Free entrance.

  • Flow Fusion Dance Night: We return another month with FLOW FUSION DANCE, DJs, great atmosphere, music that will take us to the other worlds and fantastic dancers with whom we can explore the dance.
    For those who do not know what the fusion is. It is a dance (it can be alone, as a couple or in any other constellation) that combines African American dances such as swing and blues with elements of other dances such as tango, zouk, hip hop or contact impro , creating a dance improvised to the rhythm of trip hop, chill stem, slow elecronic music, trap and more types of music.
    Fusion doesn’t have a ‘basic step’ but rather borrows and uses basics from other dance styles. Some basic steps will work with some partners and some will not.
    Contribution: € 5. Tonight at 22:00 at Inusual Project, Calle de la Paloma 5, bajos, metro Sant Antoni (L2).
