TRANSNATIONAL WORKSHOP

TRANSITIONAL DRESS
Fiona Capdevilla
(In collaboration with Jéssica Espinoza )Under the premise “doing in movement”, this workshop-adventure involved a performative journey through physical spaces in Barcelona and its periphery, under a very personal logic. The workshop intended to be a reflective exercise interested in how migratiory processes affect the embodied memory. The aim was to experience a sensorial and inner journey through the clothed body while wandering along the city of Barcelona, with a sharp eye on the dress as an essential object for survival. The vulnerability of bodies appears fiercely during migration, causing people on the move to carry strictly what is understood as indispensable, establishing a provisional and pragmatic set of values for transit.
