La Lleialtat Santsenca hosts the exhibition 'Confronting LGTBI-phobia in Barcelona'. The show reviews the main challenges and mechanisms for addressing LGTBI-phobia in the city. Through protocols from the Office for Non-Discrimination, the LGTBI Centre, and the Observatory against LGTBI-phobia, the exhibition defines the concept, explains the need for a coordinated approach, and details the agents involved. It presents figures on cases detected up to 2023 and outlines pending challenges, such as an intersectional view and access difficulties to international protection for LGBTQIA+ refugees.

THE VENUE
La Lleialtat Santsenca, nestled in the heart of Sants, tells an unbroken civic story. Founded as a consumer cooperative in 1891, its 1928 headquarters, designed by architect Josep Alemany i Juvé, quickly became a local landmark. After decades of diverse uses —from a nougat factory to the iconic Bahía dance hall— the building was reclaimed by neighborhood initiative. H Arquitectes' subsequent renovation, lauded with awards like the Ciutat de Barcelona 2017, features a central atrium inspired by Lina Bo Bardi. This space, with passive climate control, masterfully blends its working-class heritage with functional modernity, solidifying its role as a hub for culture and cooperation.
