Aigua freda

Hall, 2nd floor of the Pl. building

The Sala d'Exposicions hosts this exhibition, which focuses on recovering the memory of the city's wash-houses and of those who worked in them. The route through the show combines historical documentation, testimonies and contemporary artworks. Through this material, the curators and the artists invite reflection on the social, urban and historical relevance of these heritage spaces, connecting the gestures and bodies of the women who washed clothes in cold-water conditions.

This cultural centre offers a space for dialogue open to the general public interested in the social history and heritage of Barcelona. The exhibition set-up allows visitors to delve deeper into the everyday life of these places through a route across different rooms and documentary and visual media.
