Mare Mar: MACBA’s Open Kitchen with Marina Monsonís, Glosa Càustica and Saher & Sameh Hanno

The Open Kitchen comes to La Capella at MACBA to present the book Mare Mar (Ara Llibres), by Marina Monsonís, at an event that combines group reading of fragments of text, improvisation, traditional Palestinian music and a dish containing ingredients from the thirteen chapters of which the book is made up. 

We invite you to listen, read, smell and dance, but also to get angry, with denunciations of over-fishing and the deaths in the Mediterranean. We will learn about the current state of fishing in Barcelona and the traditional, popular knowledge linked to it, as well as the environmental struggles and conflicts related to the port in the city. 

We invite you to lick your fingers, to eat forgotten fresh fish from the market in La Barceloneta. Mare Mar [Mother Sea] will take you sailing, travelling like the dolphins and whales and connecting with their bodies. To realise that we are much closer than it seems, they connect us with places like Iceland, Senegal and Palestine. Ocean currents link people and issue, and the open sea is a bridge and a path, but also disputed territory.
