Project overview
With the complicit desire to bring to light possible spaces of African realities in Europe, this project has joined forces with the brand Top Manta. A Barcelona community from Senegal, an Africa built from afar, from the diaspora.
This encounter between architecture and the African diaspora has encouraged the creation of alternate stories and architectures to the hegemonic ones, challenging us to think about the city in different ways.
Following the Fish is the rehearsal of this joint effort. It is at this point that the project becomes a laboratory of the future. Through the critical and constructive perspective of migrant communities, Following the Fish seeks to redefine the places from where architecture is made and the role of architects. A joint effort that compels architecture to get out of “its particular places” and question the transformative capacities of its practices.
