Centre Cívic Can Basté

Passeig Fabra i Puig 274, Barcelona

The history of Can Basté is more than three hundred years and has gone through several stages to become the current civic center. On a medieval tower, a farmhouse was built that did the functions of the field, holiday house, flower store and even conservatory of music among others.

As a result of the local demand since the seventies and the desire of the democratic municipal district to recover the architectural heritage of Nou Barris, the centenary house became a civic center in 1995.
Currently, it is managed by the Turó Acció Socio Cultural (TASC), and organizes many social and cultural activities for leisure and citizen participation. In recent years they have made the Can Basté an important photographic reference space.

La Farinera del Clot

Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes 837, Barcelona

Since 1999, La Farinera is a place for cultural creation, a meeting point and a starting point between creative people and spectators. A factory for the creation and diffusion of scenic, musical and audiovisual arts.

La Farinera is full of traces that claim its industrial past, the historical memory of a building and a neighborhood. And it is that the building dates back to 1908 when the architect Josep Pericàs i Morros raised one of the called “flooring factories” housed by the Casa Harinera de San Jaime SA, which was producing flour until 1991. It went to 1995 when the City Council of Barcelona bought it commissioning its rehabilitation to Carles San Feliu and Josie Abascal. The architectural intervention was awarded with the Bonaplata Prize a few months after its inauguration as a cultural center in May 1999.

Centre Cívic Sagrada Familia

Carrer Provença 480, Barcelona

The Centre Cívic de Sagrada Familia was inaugurated in the spring of 1997, integrated inside of a building that groups together other facilities. Its telematic objective is to turn into a specialised centre and a reference on gender issues, in order to become a proper experimental laboratory and an agglutinative nucleus for the most innovative voices of the field.

The centre has been working since its beginnings with gender issues through the cycle Fem en femení, a cycle that aims at capturing and giving exposure to what they do and what women think about different aspects. Through different activities many themes related to the world of women are worked with an informative point of view, as an aesthetic experience and always with the intention of encouraging critical thinking.

KBr MAPFRE Barcelona

Torre MAPFRE Ronda del Litoral 30, Barcelona

KBr is the Photography Center of the MAPFRE Foundation in Barcelona. Inaugurated in October 2020, it represents a new stage in the Foundation’s dedication to artistic photography, one of its strategic lines of activity that has had a permanent headquarters in the Catalan capital since 2015.

KBr is the symbol for potassium bromide, one of the components of silver bromide, thanks to which it was possible to “reveal” previously reflected images on paper and thus give rise to the appearance of the photograph. The name reflects, on the one hand, the continuity of an institutional trajectory that has paid special attention to the great tradition of the masters of contemporary photography; on the other, the universality of the symbol expresses the dimension of photography as a shared contemporary language and the profound international vocation with which the Center has been conceived.

In its programming, and together with the continuity in the basic lines of the Foundation’s exhibition program, its two exhibition spaces will allow the development of a broader program, collaborate with other Catalan institutions that pay attention to photography and gradually make known, the Foundation’s Photography Collection.
