Featured Events in Barcelona in December, 2024 (May Updated)

Una maravillosa experiencia gratuita en pleno corazón de Barcelona para conocer toda la magia del espíritu navideño en la pintura. Puede que pienses que conoces todo sobre la Navidad, pero te sorprenderás. Te invitamos a una conferencia que nos sumergirá en la atmósfera festiva de esta celebración, combinando historia, tradición y arte para ofrecer una perspectiva única y enriquecedora sobre la celebración de la Navidad. Exploraremos las razones detrás de los acontecimientos y costumbres que marcan esta época del año y nos conectan a través del tiempo. Además, disfrutaremos de impresionantes obras de arte de maestros como Fra Angélico, Georges de la Tour, El Greco, Murillo, Velázquez, Rubens y Dalí, quienes capturaron la esencia de la Navidad con su estilo y visión particular. Sobre la ponente: Somos Isabel Pascual Ruiz de Alegría y Juan Francisco Castillo Vega, creadores del proyecto Curabitur. A través de esta iniciativa, queremos compartir nuestra visión sobre el arte, la cultura, la ciencia, la historia de la mujer…. ¿Cómo lo hacemos? Mediante conferencias divulgativas que buscan educar, informar, entretener y abrir la puerta a nuevas perspectivas sobre el mundo que nos rodea. El sentido de nuestras conferencias, lo que nos mueve, no es otra cosa que los asistentes a las mismas. Somos muy exigentes, minuciosos y responsables en su preparación, teniendo continuamente en nuestras mentes durante el proceso de preparación, nuestro objetivo de formar, informar y entretener. Por eso, preparamos y estudiamos cada tema rigurosamente, pero también le ponemos mucho corazón para hacer llegar a quien nos escucha, lo que a nosotros nos apasiona. ¿A quién va dirigido? A un público general, a interesados por el arte, a personas curiosas que quieran profundizar en el significado de las costumbres que nos acompañan estos días, y conocer la interesante relación de la Navidad con el Arte. A personas que busquen pasar un tiempo entretenido disfrutando de una forma de arte diferente. Durante las celebraciones navideñas, ya sea que las vivamos desde una perspectiva cristiana o no, todos seguimos ritos y costumbres cuyo origen rara vez nos detenemos a considerar. En esta conferencia descubriremos el significado detrás de cada fecha y tradición. S e podrá coger una entrada por persona y correo electrónico.

Coincidiendo con las serigrafías que Münster Studio ha dedicado a Semillas (Astiberri), invitamos a uno de sus autores, David Aja, a conversar con el diseñador Dani Rabaza y con el espeleólogo pop Raúl Minchinela. *** Semillas es un thriller tecnológico a medio camino entre la ecoficción y la historia de amor, presentado por el prestigioso equipo formado por Ann Nocenti (Daredevil, Ruby Falls) y David Aja (Ojo de Halcón, El Inmortal Puño de Hierro). Semillas teje un intrincado relato ambientado en un mundo lejano pero inquietantemente familiar. Llibreria Finestres recibe a uno de sus autores, David Aja, en un acto junto a Dani Rabaza, el diseñador de un cartel serigrafiado basado en Semillas; una impresión manual en edición limitada de la que únicamente existen 50 copias, firmadas y numeradas, y que estarán disponibles durante el presente acto. Raúl Minchinela, impulsor del webzine Reflexiones de Repronto, hará las veces de moderador. *** David Aja es historietista e ilustrador. Ha recibido numerosos galardones prestigiosos, entre ellos dos premios Harvey y cinco Eisner. Se licenció en Bellas Artes por la Universidad de Salamanca y ha trabajado como ilustrador en periódicos, revistas, libros y publicidad. Es conocido principalmente por su trabajo en Ojo de Halcón y El Inmortal Puño de Hierro para Marvel, así como en otros títulos como Daredevil, Lobezno y La Bruja Escarlata. Ha realizado cubiertas para varias series de las principales editoriales estadounidenses y, recientemente, una historia para Batman: Black & White en la que rinde homenaje a las tiras diarias de los años 40 del hombre murciélago. Dani Rabaza, nacido en Zaragoza y radicado en Barcelona desde 2013, es fundador de Münster, un pequeño estudio de diseño e ilustración. Desde los unicios de Münster en 2010, gran parte de su actividad se centró en la cartelería, especialmente la dedicada a anuncios de conciertos, muchos de los cuales se imprimen manualmente, después, en el propio taller de serigrafía de Rabaza. Münster Studio también está especializado en diseño de discos, portadas de libros, carteles para eventos culturales e ilustración. Raúl Minchinela (Zaragoza, 1973) es ingeniero industrial y la cara visible de la videoserie Reflexiones de Repronto. En 1995 impulsa Contracultura, el primer webzine generalista en lengua española. Sus artículos han aparecido en medios como ElDiario.es, Cultura/s, Mondo Brutto, La Marea, Rockdelux, Clarín o Le Courrier International. Minchinela también ha participado en los libros colectivos CT o Cultura de la Transición, Supercómic o Todavía voy por la primera temporada. Es autor, junto a Valentí Ponsa, del libro infantil Luz.
