Welcome to the third and last artistic component of my doctoral research, which will be held on Tuesday, March 17th in Black Box, Helsinki Music Center. "Esparto, revisited" is a multimedia installation that can be visited any time from 16h to 20h on that day. The installation includes video, sound, photograph, and text materials, and allows the interaction of the audience through touching some of its elements and leaving written reactions.

"After witnessing, listening, and touching, there were still the voices. Strata of memories have been accumulating and find now a last opportunity to encounter new vessels in our bodies. These remaining voices invite us to come closer, to spend some intimate time remembering with them, understanding how acknowledging and valuing are still a possibility in a world dominated by the logics of waste".
“Esparto, revisited” is the last of a series of three installations in which I invite the audience to participate in my process of memory retrieval and re-imagination of esparto grass. Esparto grass is a vegetal fiber used for a waning crafting tradition in my homeland in Southeastern Spain. Through this process, I wonder how remembering through artistic practice can contribute to regaining a deeper awareness of the time and place we inhabit, despite our embeddedness in a fast-changing world.
