Entrava llum per les esquerdes. Creació col·lectiva en moviment: del vídeo comunitari a les pràctiques col·laboratives contemporànies

Exhibition at the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona exploring collective creation through video, with the collective Vídeo-Nou / Servei de Vídeo Comunitari at its centre.

The exhibition offers a journey through the different forms of collective creation that have emerged around video since the 1970s. Its historical core is Vídeo-Nou / Servei de Vídeo Comunitari, a collective active in Catalonia during the Transition that understood video as a political and social tool to promote self-organisation, neighbourhood empowerment and counter-information.

Around this core, the exhibition unfolds across thematic areas that connect archives, practices and strategies from other national and international collectives, both historical and recent. Rather than a linear genealogy, it proposes a constellation of experiences that blur the boundaries between art and activism, document and fiction, aesthetics and ethics. From there, it questions notions such as individual authorship, intellectual property or linear narration.

The title alludes to a faint but persistent light that appears at the margins, and to the screen as a vehicle of narration, presence and denunciation. The route is aimed above all at those interested in community video, documentary imagery and collaborative practices, and proposes thinking of cultural production as a shared process rather than a closed work.
