30th International Drap-Art Festival
Overview
Drap-Art presents a new edition of the festival with a month of exhibitions, cultural actions and free activities in public spaces, galleries and unique buildings in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter. The festival brings together local and international artists who, through their work, transform discarded materials and objects into new forms of expression, critical reflection and environmental awareness.
In this 30th edition, Drap-Art celebrates three decades of promoting sustainable art and creative reuse as tools for social transformation. The festival highlights the relationship between art, activism, memory and sustainability, inviting audiences to rethink the cultural and human values needed to move towards a more responsible future.
