Micropoetry + Curatorial Monologues

Trapped by the patriarchy, women specialized in wearing masks to defend themselves, adapting constantly to social demands. Until recently, nobody asked who they are deep inside, or whether they live a fulfilling life; we assumed that once someone "takes care of them" and has a family, they should simply be happy. Until recently, a woman kissing another woman was a systemic offense, when...

Women are despised, used, mutilated, and killed often, soldiers of the quotidian. Many incult cultures do not understand women´s nature and blame us for existing, unaware that if we are not here, neither are they. If we fight for women's autonomy, we can prevent this systemic injustice. Feminism is important! It´s a life and death situation. Not only do women join the fight, but anyone with ba...

Femeile sunt disprețuite, folosite, mutilate și adesea ucise, niste soldați ai cotidianului. Multe culturi inculte nu înțeleg natura femeilor și ne învinovățesc pentru că existăm. Dacă luptăm pentru autonomia femeilor, putem preveni această nedreptate sistemică. Feminismul este important! Este o situație de viață și de moarte. Nu doar femeile se alătură luptei, ci oricine cu un minim de bun simț o...

Correct your books and mindsets to equity, as women are not at all inferior as presented. We can't go on with manipulation and call it love. We need an environment in which we can develop, and that means feeling equal.

Too many women are still lost in trafficking, and if we fight for women´s autonomy we can prevent this systemic injustice.

Uprooted from their homeland, refugees remain people with specific needs, including the need to develop, which is also a right to be satisfied. For women who have never had adequate access to education, this can be a turning point, as access to education and a sense of equality bring us peace of mind. We want peace! We want a home! International conflicts are leaving people without a roof. Until p...

The occurrence of people you get to meet, as an immigrant, who do not have a roof or who pay rent for a precarious room, is enormous, besides the refugee part. The lack of care dynamics is bizarre, socially speaking. It´s in our development planning, as a right to feel protected; so, having a roof is just the basics. People all over the world are dreaming of a place to stay, dissociated from the c...

It is assumed that learning takes you far and that education is a common right, but an unsustainable development process, without continuity, in a corrupt system, instead of preparing and including, it demands sacrifices. Not all of us will put on wigs to please; it´s in vain insisting. The right to education and training, then to have a career and access to a job, are serious, untouchable human r...

Ca femeie migrant ce-am umblat pe jos de mi-o sărit capacele, muncind, dintr-o țară in alta, mă identific destul cu prima parte zbuciumată a existenței de migrant a lui Brâncuși. Arta minimalistă aduce în evidență importanta abstractizarii pânā la esentă, până la concepte ce-n simplitatea lor pot fi întelese, drept urmare călători, dintr-un sistem lingvistic în altul. Brâncuși nu doar sculpta, int...

The last ¨job opportunity¨ in IT, for a company that makes itself publicity of supporting women in tech, was no opportunity for me, but a let´s say opportunity to offend and discriminate for different important persons of the company, who are still there. In my last interaction, where in a group meeting, specially made to discuss operational issues and procedures, I have asked if I can communicate...

On the first day, I was ignored, and since the job was far away, in a polygon that smelled like pig manure, the whole situation made it difficult for me to go back. I would have renounced at the moment, but accessing a job was difficult in the last months, and I didn´t have much choice, so I put myself through hell, as by now I had a cat to make happy, and myself I was already too slim and needed...

Too many qualified individuals are left stranded by the bureaucratic systems of two or more countries after decades of struggle and closed doors. My life is not my own, it´s a social support matter at this point, and serious closed communication. I have too many diplomas at hand, and I know way too many programs to be unseen, yet I´m invisible to the recruiters and ghosted constantly. There is no...

I have asked Mr. Tiberiu what happened and why he is on the streets. He started explaining in Spanish, then I realized, while speaking, that his facial characteristics are familiar. He has the name of my adoptive grandfather and a similar dark skin tone. In Romania, we are delivered in different skin tonalities. Mr. Tiberiu is from a rural area near Aiud, Transilvania. He arrived in Spain, specifi...

One of the people with no roof I had the pleasure of speaking with, Mr. Sergei, explained how he came to Barcelona from Eastern Europe to work, encouraged by acquaintances. When he arrived, no one was waiting for him at the station, and no one answered their phone, so he waited at the train station. He waited for days, weeks, months; none of his friends looked for him, nor did any social support s...

Recent, o femeie o fost bătută, aruncată în frig, fără haine de ger cumplit pe ea. A murit de frig şi cu siguranță de tristețe. A murit într-un oraș cu ușile închise pentru oameni ca ea. E o moarte absurdă, ce în mediu urban se putea evita. A murit de frig, după ce-a fost bătută, o femeie, care nu s-a pierdut pe munte, ci pe străzile unui oraş tremura.

The holidays have passed, no attention to the case whatsoever, no phone yet, as it doesn´t rain with phones, no jacket either, or food, or a tent...Ous survived the worst part of the winter, that took various lives around, but he survived out of pure self-control and adaptation to conditions that are worse than prisión conditions as there is no bed to sleep on, no food each day, no basics that a p...

It´s January 2026. It´s cold, and people are freezing. I´m writing this because it´s a real situation that needs to change. I cannot observe how people are just freezing, so I take them hot tea, warm food, home-made soup, as much as I can, to bring a little comfort. Being outside, in the cold, without a roof, reduces all possibilities of taking care of yourself, and survival depends on creativity...

Our loved ones are dying, while we suffer in silence and distance, trapped between human trafficking and a closed migration bureaucracy. In the meantime, we are asked to wait, ignored, lied to, or offended. Some wait for years, in vain, as the life of an immigrant is not just an individual life; it´s mediated, coordinated. To reach any type of social service, from food to clothing, a shower progra...

Une tasse de thé aux herbes stimule l'olfaction, réchauffe le corps, hydrate et crée une ambiance propice aux conversations paisibles. Nous sommes en 2026, nous parlons différentes langues et disposons de traducteurs. En théorie, nous sommes plus capables que jamais de nous comprendre. Des millénaires d'histoire humaine ont été consacrés à l'enseignement de la négociation et à la commu...

It rains constantly, and under the winter cold, people were evacuated or simply sent to "survive," knowing they are by all means unwelcome. Such a measure is contra-indicated in any spiritual book and in any social strategy. But what do we know about the protocol of treating the travelers, new arrivals, immigrants? Well, since the dawn of times, all stories and songs have presented the i...

Corruption is so rampant in large cities that even public restrooms have disappeared. It's a European phenomenon with terrible olfactory repercussions. Big cities smell like urine, and we pay to have access to a toilet that is not even necessarily clean. Humans drink, eat, and need toilet access. It's a basic human need. Depending on the city's population, inclusive planning and proact...

La comunicación cerrada significa vulnerabilidad impuesta y luego trata de personas. Cuando una persona está en una situación de vulnerabilidad impuesta, como por desempleo, pobreza, discapacidad o ser víctima de un delito, se enfrenta a una mayor exposición a riesgos físicos y psicológicos, dificultades para acceder a derechos y servicios, y una incapacidad para defenderse por sí misma, lo que a...

Como migrante rumano, no me fui feliz ni llegué a un lugar amigable. El odio existe a diario y me niego a ocultar mi identidad, a forzar las posibilidades de integración en un mundo hostil. He estado en varios países europeos, donde trabajé como un héroe. La mayoría de las veces nos dejan a nuestra suerte, desprotegidos y maldecidos. Nos piden que rindamos o volamos. El acceso a la atención médica...

Meditam zilele astea asupra ideii de susținere socială, şi cât de periculoase sunt multe locuri pentru femei, cum trebuie să luptăm încă pentru a merge nejignite pe stradă, şi cum atâtea femei şi-au pierdut viața din pricina violenței domestice şi a unui sistem de "protecție" care le lasă să moară. Mi se spune că Barcelona e un loc periculos. Ca idee, când mă întorc din România, ca femei...

Semana tormentosa. Árboles caídos por toda la ciudad. Perfecto para audiciones metaleras, en busca de bandas femeninas y poesía remarcable, delicatessen que se encuentran en la cultura underground. El rock es una de esas culturas underground que abordan temas sociales y ambientales y que fue erróneamente estigmatizada. Al escuchar las letras y asociar el trasfondo cultural con lo que se transmite,...
