About the Programs
Keynote Lecture by Chus Martínez
To mark the opening of Clear, Lucid, and Awake. Spanish Artists from the TBA21 Collection, Chus Martínez will offer a keynote lecture introducing the exhibition’s central themes. The exhibition explores the resonances between Spain and Korea as peninsular cultures shaped by the legacies of late capitalism, ecological urgencies, and a shared yearning to reconnect with rural knowledge and landscapes.

Roundtable: Awake! Or How to Get to Work
Some participating artists of Clear, Lucid, and Awake, Belén Rodríguez, Asunción Molinos Gordo, Diego Delas, and Daniel Steegman Mangrané will join Chus Martínez for a conversation exploring artistic practices that foster reciprocal relationships with nature and space. Grounded in research and shaped by poetic gestures, the discussion will consider how these approaches open up new ways of sensing, inhabiting, and attending to the natural world.

Film Screening and conversation: Regina de Miguel, Nekya. A River-Film
The screening of Nekya. A River-Film (2023), a work by Regina de Miguel, who is one of the participating artists of Clear, Lucid, and Awake, invites the audience on a journey through the layered geographies of a river, explored both as a physical presence and a metaphor. Blending elements of documentary, speculative fiction, and scientific exploration, the film meditates on ecological grief, memory, and the porous boundaries between worlds. Following the screening, the artist will join Marina Avia Estrada, Head of Exhibitions & Public Programs at TBA21, for a conversation.

Claudia Pagés, Rats and Roaches 
Rats and Roaches is a performance by Claudia Pagés, one of the participating artists of Clear, Lucid, and Awake, that combines spoken word, music, and movement to examine the structures shaping contemporary urban life, with a particular focus on Barcelona. Drawing on multilingual text and rhythmic speech, the work critiques systems of control and surveillance embedded in cityscapes. Through the figures of rats and cockroaches, Pagés evokes both decay and resilience, using these symbols to reflect on resistance and marginality. This intimate ‘sonic readings’ invites viewers to rethink the politics woven into everyday urban environments.
