TERRAZSA BCN 2024 and, in particular, the exhibition-market MARE NOSTRUM ART DESIGN
curated by Mariona Rubio Sabatés and organized in collaboration with Todobarro and A-FAD,
Fomento de las Artes y del Diseño – that will take place from October 17th to 20th on the
terrace of FX Barcelona Film School, at Carrer de Pujades 112, as an OFF event of Barcelona
Design Week – encourages visitors to discover artists and designers who, through
craftsmanship and research, revive our roots, folklore, and techniques using traditional
languages. Among them, there are “design artists” who adapt these techniques to create more
contemporary and innovative languages, a group of creatives born from an emerging post-
industrial society that seeks to express the need to build a better, more sustainable, more
democratic, less consumerist community, closer to and in harmony with nature and the
landscape.
The provocative exhibition that reflects on the future of water, the generosity of the
Mediterranean, and that encourages action, will become a viral phenomenon: 'Mare Nostrum
Design Art' — act or disappear?
A selection of over fifty artists and designers responsible for safeguarding and renewing the
Mediterranean’s legacy throught craftsmanship and design. From emerging talents to
established figures, this exhibition offers a rich source of inspiration for professionals to create
the best terrace and outdoor space projects.
