Next Friday, November 7th<\/b>, in collaboration with the Asociaci\u00f3n Lach\u00f3 Baj\u00ed Cal\u00ed<\/b>, we will participate in the second edition of the NIGHT<\/em> <\/strong>flamenco of the
\n MACBA<\/b>
\n<\/a>. It will be titled
\n
\n The Sun When It Is Night<\/g>
\n <\/g>
\n<\/g> and is curated by the artist
\n Pedro G. Romero<\/g>
\n<\/g>. The NIGHT<\/em>  <\/i>aims to be \u00aba public activity format that merges the critical resources characteristic of the seminar with the creative power of the exhibition<\/i>\u00bb according to the museum’s website. The sun when it is night<\/i> proposes to build a space and a time with performances, concerts, performances, singing and dancing, in relation to pieces from the MACBA Collection and with audiovisual materials and documents from various sources.<\/p>\n

\"Lach\u00f3<\/a><\/p>\n

We have titled
\n Lach\u00f3 baj\u00ed (Good Luck)<\/strong>
\n<\/em> a proposal for this event that we have devised in collaboration with the Asociaci\u00f3n Lach\u00f3 Baj\u00ed Cal\u00ed (Gypsy Good Luck); it consists of a walk through the territory inhabited by the gypsy community of the neighborhood
\n El<\/a>
\n<\/strong>
\n Gornal<\/b>
\n<\/a> (L\u2019Hospitalet<\/b>) from the early 60s to the early 90s, living in self-built shacks first and in prefabricated houses later. A territory through which the Economic District-Gran Via<\/b> of L\u2019Hospitalet<\/strong> currently extends: a group of office buildings, shopping centers and luxury hotels clustered around the activity of the Gran Via<\/b> fairgrounds of the Fira Barcelona<\/b>. <\/p>\n

Almost nothing remains of that time, the memory of the gypsy community that inhabited that territory then lacks references, they have been erased by a city model subject to the logic of economic flows. Even so, we will visit the minimum remains, the almost invisible traces of that memory: a farmhouse converted into the offices of the Consortium for the reform of the Gran Via in L’Hospitalet; an empty lot that was once a passage to the sites where the city’s waste was selected and back to the barracks, of which now only a few tiles remain hidden by uncontrolled weeds, next to a four-star hotel; vacant lots fenced off, owned by large investment groups that did not get to build  in time, before the real estate bubble burst; and the place where the Puente School was located, which was attended by several generations of inhabitants of the barracks \u2014the Lach\u00f3 Baj\u00ed school\u2014 which was located at what is now the main entrance to the fairgrounds.<\/p>\n

\"Walk.<\/a><\/p>\n

The name of the association: Lach\u00f3 Baj\u00ed Cal\u00ed, those words, although incorporeal, are also a place of memory, perhaps the only one that explicitly unites the present of the gypsy community of Gornal with its past.<\/p>\n

On our walk we will be accompanied by the group Los Barraconeros<\/b> \u2014formed by Juan Lu\u00eds Fern\u00e1ndez G\u00f3mez<\/b>
\n El Piki<\/i>
\n<\/b>, Manuel G\u00f3mez Cort\u00e9s<\/b>
\n El Sepo<\/i>
\n<\/b> and L\u00e1zaro M\u00e1rquez Cort\u00e9s<\/b>
\n El Negro<\/i>
\n<\/b>, all three members of Lach\u00f3 Baj\u00ed Cal\u00ed\u2014, who will perform in the places linked to that past mentioned above that we propose to remember, songs and cantes that evoke that time. For our part, we will distribute a series of images and texts compiled in different investigations and informal conversations with former neighbors with whom we will try to promote resonances and connections between the past, present and future of this territory that, on the other hand, reflects transformations that are common to many other places in the peninsular geography. <\/p>\n

We will start the walk at 6:00 PM<\/b> in front of the headquarters of the Lach\u00f3 Baj\u00ed Cal\u00ed association<\/b> (Av. Vilanova, 22, L\u2019Hospitalet, <\/a> FGC Gornal) and will end around 8:00 PM<\/b> in
\n Pla\u00e7a d\u2019Europa<\/b>
\n<\/a> (FGC Europa | Fira).<\/p>\n

At 5 AM<\/b> in the Capella MACBA<\/b> we will publicly present the project together with Mercedes G\u00f3mez Cort\u00e9s<\/b>, president of Lach\u00f3 Baj\u00ed Cal\u00ed and with the live performance of Los Barraconeros.<\/b><\/p>\n
