The undersigned individuals, groups, and entities, generally linked to the cultural sphere, feel the need to voice our opinion in the controversy between the MACBA and the CAP Raval Nord project in relation to the Miseric\u00f2rdia chapel, to express our support for the residents who are demanding that the CAP be located there.<\/h3>\n

We are uncomfortable with the problem being presented as a slight to culture and the people who work in it. We also love culture, we think it needs public support and that sometimes it is not given the value it deserves, but we also think that all this has little to do with the MACBA expansion proposal. In the debate to which we refer, we understand the reasons given in relation to the CAP much better than those related to the expansion. <\/p>\n

In fact, one of the issues that makes us take sides is the lack of clarity and justification regarding the needs of the new cultural space, a lack that at the same time resonates with previous debates on the management of the MACBA itself. What is the collection that is to be shown, and in what unprecedented way is it intended to be exhibited? Are there studies that explain the public interest it has? And, above all, who does this collection belong to? How are the problems\u2014already exposed even by previous museum directors or by organizations such as the CONCA\u2014addressed in relation to the meaning of a public investment for a collection that is to a high percentage privately owned? <\/p>\n

Public cultural initiatives cannot be developed in confrontation with the needs expressed by the people who are located in the territory. The role of the large cultural institutions in the Raval has already generated enough controversy about the urban and economic consequences that end up making life more difficult for the people of the neighborhood, without a widespread perception of the benefits for the cultural life of the environment. <\/p>\n

Therefore, we want to express our support as cultural agents for the location of the CAP, we reject any solution in the name of a sacralizing vision of culture, and, in this logic, we identify with the declaration that the social and cultural movements of the Raval neighborhood have been promoting for days in the \u201cManifesto for the future of CAP Nord Raval<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n

You can sign<\/a> the manifesto in the form you will find at the end of the following link.<\/a><\/p>\n
