Lateral approaches to "Francesc Tosquelles"

For two Thursdays in June, the Nikosia collective gives us an alternative tour of the exhibition rooms. Based on some of the pieces on display, they explain which of the ideas and practices of Tosquelles still have relevance and followers today. The tour includes a final conversation between all the participants.

Nikosia puts many of Tosquelles’ ideas into practice to break with the physical and mental social isolation of people living with mental suffering. This is a demedicalized space that allows individuals with and without a mental health diagnosis to participate in society actively. Through radio and other media of expression, intervention, and social visibility, such as art, poetry and literature, this collective offers a view, lateral and heterogeneous, of madness. And now they are our guides through Francesc Tosquelles' universe.
