(Des)fer el territori: Pràctiques culturals i regeneració del paisatge

17 June 2017
Museum of the Mediterranean. Torroella de Montgrí

After decades in which land occupation was synonymous with economic wealth, recent years have seen a cultural shift toward defending the landscape. Thus, the landscape is seen as a common good that must be protected, managed, and organized to improve the population's quality of life, but also because a well-maintained landscape can favor local economic growth. In an attempt to address the legacy of the real estate boom, the need to rethink the land and find ways to recover these spaces has become evident. And in the restoration and de-urbanization processes, the art world and the public have a lot to say.

This event is part of the restoration process of the Pletera marsh in Estartit and the artistic interventions that seek to recover the memory of the place and disseminate a landscape intervention with a public vocation.

Organized by: Landscape Observatory of Catalonia, Torroella de Montgrí City Council, Chair of Mediterranean Coastal Ecosystems, Museum of the Mediterranean
