  • La Saleta

The Arxiu Històric de Barcelona presents "Cinema i memòria democràtica", a journey through the history of the Franco dictatorship and anti-Francoism via film posters. The exhibition covers emblematic films about the Civil War, the post-war period, repression, the maquis resistance, and the fight for freedoms. It highlights the poster's role as a tool for promotion and artistic expression, a graphic and cultural heritage that faded in the 21st century. Free entry.

La Saleta

Not a grand auditorium, nor a commercial venue. Human-scale, neighborhood theatre.

This small-scale performing arts space hosts intimate shows, text-based theatre, and contemporary experimentation within the urban fabric.
