In other words
To collect voices, share experiences, look at each other, connect, relate, create a museum. Get into the video series… In other words.
The museum is a community of people with unique stories and points of view. In this series of videos, we hand over to the people involved: friends, researchers, participants, teachers, educators and museum staff. Camera in hand, we approach them so that they can explain in their own words what it means to be part of MACBA. They speak in the first person.
‘Community and solidarity have in common that they mean doing something for someone else and they have no frontiers.’ We’re going to discover the community of MACBA Friends with Michela Balloi: we’ll visit the exhibition rooms and other parts of the museum, a living place that goes beyond the static to become a space for meeting, learning and thinking.

‘The trembling I experience in front of this beautiful work reminds me very much of the trembling I feel inside myself.’ With Loli Acebal, we delve into the weekly visits to the MACBA Collection. In a visual journey through the exhibition galleries, she reminds us in her own words of the visits that moved her the most. Art historian and educator Loli Acebal collaborates with the MACBA Educational team as part of the Avalancha collective.

‘This connection is essential, bringing the Museum to the classroom.’ In this capsule, Amèlia Mañà, secondary school teacher and regular participant in the Museum’s activities for teachers, takes the floor. Through her voice, we share with her students one of the activities inspired by MACBA’s P2P workshops: a journey into food and the emotions that family recipes evoke in us.

‘I always saw it as super white. Later I built on that, discovering the exhibitions, the people and the idea that it had colour. Everything!’ In this instalment of the series, we examine one of the activities we have been developing for the last six years: a permanent space for artistic experimentation with the kids of the neighbourhood. They tell us in their own words.
