How to explain Catalonia to a dead hare

Last Sunday we recommended the magnificent proposal Station to Station before entering into more arduous questions. By these more arduous questions we were referring to our new edition of the thematic magazine, the A*DESK MAGAZINE, that we’ve prepared. It is dedicated to Catalonia. We though that art and culture also have something to say regarding the process opened up a year ago: be it towards independence, federalism, confederalism or maintaining the status quo. The case is that Oriol Fontdevila, Martí Manen, Peio Aguirre, Martí Peran, Joan M. Minguet, Juan Canela and Eloy Fernández Porta have done just that. Our hope is therefore to open up the discussion beyond the common places of journalism, politicians and the economy (obviating the idea of culture as folklore).

How to explain Catalonia to a dead hare

A*DESK is a critical platform focused on publishing, training, experimentation, communication and dissemination in relation to contemporary culture and art, which is defined by transversality. The starting point is contemporary art, because that is where we come from and this awareness allows us to go much further, to incorporate other disciplines and forms of thought in order debate issues that are relevant and urgent for understanding our present.
