On April 19 at 7:00 PM, we invite you to the Fundación Arquia (C/Tutor, 16, Madrid) for the screening of Reusing Posidonia, a documentary about the first public housing units built on the island of Formentera by the IBAVI (Balearic Housing Institute) based on the principles of circularity, emission reduction, and climate change adaptation from the Life Reusing Posidonia project.

In the works featured in Luiz Pizarro’s solo exhibition, opening on Tuesday, March 4, at the Paço Imperial, the artist demonstrates a clear commitment to expressing a holistic view of the elements, shifting the focus away from the human figure to prioritize the whole—whether nature, organic forms, or universal harmony. This is the essence of "Metapaisagens" (Metalandscapes), which occupies a 300-square-meter gallery with 18 large-format canvases (ranging from 1.70m to 2.25m), produced between early 2022 and 2023 using acrylic paint, with color serving as a fundamental element—a hallmark of the artist's work. At the back of the space, the "Magic Cube"—or "Cube of Wishes"—invites visitors to select a color from available yarn, threading it through points within the interactive installation to match the number of letters in their name while "focusing on their wishes." Geometric forms also appear as white cubes within the canvases themselves, which Pizarro refers to as "crystal cubes." This marks the artist's fourth exhibition at the Paço Imperial, where they have previously showcased paintings, prints, and paraffin works.

The competition aims to design a "Women's House" through symbolic, ecological architecture inspired by local traditions. It is envisioned as a space where associations and various elements of society can meet and discuss issues on equal terms and human rights, thereby fostering the involvement and emancipation of the women's community in support of the territory's social, economic, and political development. Gender equality is not merely a fundamental human right; it is a necessary condition for a prosperous world.
