El dret a la ciutat: Els barris de muntanya de Sant Genís a Trinitat nova

This exhibition, curated by Fernando Marzá and Neus Moyano, traces the history and neighbourhood struggle of the districts on the lower slopes of Collserola.

The exhibition, curated by Fernando Marzá and Neus Moyano, examines how the topography and infrastructure have shaped everyday life in this sector of Barcelona. Through images and testimonies about the neighbourhood struggle, the route presents the claim for the right to the city, focusing on access to housing, mobility, healthcare and education.

The itinerary dwells on the residential estates built during the 1960s and on the self-build processes, and also recalls the protests against the former urban planning and the evolution of areas such as Trinitat Nova. The exhibition also looks at the role of the socio-health institutions in the area and at the educational initiatives driven by the community, from the first schools to the training programmes of today.

The Seu del Districte de Nou Barris houses this cultural project, designed for an audience interested in the urban and social history of Barcelona. The rooms display documents and graphic material that illustrate the collective effort to provide these neighbourhoods on the foothills of the sierra with services and facilities.
