This Thursday and Friday we have a double dose of events in la Florida:

Collective Tapestries
at the
Mercat Municipal de la Florida
.
Friday, April 27 at 6:30 p.m. screening of the documentary
Gas Leaks
at the
Centre Municipal Ana Díaz Rico
.
Both the exhibition and the documentary could be seen last March in Bellvitge. If you couldn’t see them then, this is your chance!
Collective Tapestries shows the textile work developed by various groups in L’Hospitalet and in Santiago de Chile and promoted by LaFundició and
Nido Textil
, separately or in collaboration. These are collectively made tapestries that reflect on or affect various social or political issues linked to a historical moment or a specific territory. More information here.
“Gas Leaks” is a documentary film by Chilean director Bruno Salas that invites us to immerse ourselves in the spirit and ideals of a key historical moment in the history of Chile: In 1972, during the Government of Salvador Allende, the building for the celebration of the Third United Nations Conference on Trade and Development UNCTAD III was built in the record time of 275 days. During that period, 34 artists were summoned to incorporate their art into the architecture. More information here.
