ES_CULTURA is a two-day festival organized by the School of Architecture La Salle in Plaça de la Cultura, in Bellvitge, Hospitalet, with the collaboration of the city council. The festival transformed the public space into a hub for artistic expression with the participation of students of local schools, architecture students, artists, neighbours and civic organizations members. Sculptures and paintings, film projections, a sound installation as well music and dance performances, transformed the square and the surroundings during the two-day event.
The works showcased were selected by a jury through an open call. The public was able to actively participate in the festival in painting and drawing workshops for children, dance performances by senior residents.
The public assisting to the festival could vote their favourite piece. During the two days a total of 168 votes were cast. The most voted proposals were:
- "Bureau" by Nerea Mejías, Inés Moxo, Maria Rosa Gavin and Paula Díaz with 46 votes.
- "Revival", by Laura Garcimartin, with 44 votes.
