At barco - galería para la arquitectura, we are resuming our conversation series, which seeks to reflect on the 'State of Things.' In light of our current circumstances, the series has adopted a podcast format and will be available weekly on Spotify and through our social media channels: barcoarquitectura.org and @barcogaleria

Here, you will test all your skills and discover some you didn't know you had! It’s your time!
