Stories of La Balsa is an exhibition that gathers the processes, discoveries and results of this project developed together with the residents of Raval Roig in the space of La Balsa, at the foot of Benacantil.
The project proposes to collectively imagine the past, present and future lives of this place, through shared imagination, speculative fiction and the material and immaterial resources of the landscape. The actions carried out, linked to artists from the MACA collection such as Carmen Calvo or Juana Francés, are intertwined with memories, stories and knowledge of those who care for and inhabit La Balsa.
The exhibition brings together materials from institutional and community archives, as well as records of conversations and experiences that highlight the value of this urban space sustained by an intense community life.
Stories of La Balsa invites us to look at the territory from the perspective of care and listening, and to rethink the relationships between memory, community and public space.

Furthermore, we continue to strengthen those initiatives that have been well-received in previous editions, adapting and continuously improving them in our learning laboratory.
