Exhibition: 'La Matèria Construïda'

We invite you to explore the exhibition 'La Matèria Construïda', presented by A-FAD, which highlights the philosophy of craftsmanship and the intrinsic beauty and vitality of materials. In today's world, where equality and mass production often dominate, handcrafted creations arise as a conscious act of resistance against consumerism. This exhibition delves into the intersection of artisanal processes and the agency of materials, drawing inspiration from the theories of philosopher Diana Coole, who argues that matter possesses its own life and shapes our world, and the legacy of designer and activist William Morris, who held nature in reverence and critiqued mass industrialization. The showcase suggests a new relationship with materials, viewing them not merely as passive objects but as active collaborators in our creative processes. Participating artists and craftsmen envision materials as dynamic agents that vibrate, act, and transform, inviting visitors to rethink their relationship
