Conversations of Memory in Motion

A conversation space to explore how stories of mobility and migration are part of Barcelona’s collective memory. Drawing on different experiences linked to art, communication, citizen participation, and social innovation, the gathering will address who tells these stories, how we preserve them, and what role they play in building a diverse city.

An invitation to broaden our view of migration—from countryside to city, between territories and between countries, one’s own or inherited—and to ask ourselves: who builds a city’s memory, and which stories do we choose to preserve?

Member of the coordination committee of Decidim; Innovation Advisor to the Monterrey City Council and co-creator of “Primer Paso” an app for guidance through the regularization process and the generation of vulnerability certificates.
