What emerges when we shift our focus? What stories unfold when we look from a different perspective?

On Saturday, October 24, from 5 to 9 pm, L’Arravalera invites you to an afternoon of art, encounters and experimentation with the opening of “Multivers Tina. Activism and Art. CDMX-BCN (2015–2026)”, as part of Dissabte d’Arravalera S1 E3: “Creating: The Art of Becoming Multiple”.

This collective exhibition brings together more than 20 artists and community activism projects. Across two rooms, artworks, photographs, texts, sounds and archives connect Mexico City and Barcelona: a constellation of experiences that challenge the narratives that confine us and invite us to explore other images, other forms of affection and other ways of telling stories.

What happens when our experiences go beyond the script? Which voices and ways of connecting remain outside the images we have learned to recognise? What if tenderness, embraces and listening could open up new ways of caring for one another?

Multivers Tina invites us to explore these questions, shift our perspective and make room for experiences that go beyond labels and dominant narratives.

An afternoon of becoming multiple

During the opening, the artworks will share space with poetry, tarot, performances, sound experimentation, virtual reality and DJ sets. The exhibition spaces will also open up to whatever unfolds among those who join us.

Performances and activations:

• Tarot reading by Beatrix Lujua.
• Sound experimentation by Tania Quintana.
• Poetry reading by Alex Miñarro.
• Performance by Syrenais Morgana Del Mare.
• “Antimonumento Crico” virtual reality experience by Eugenio Echeverría.
• DJ set by Tony Malato.
• DJ set by Teknomussa.

Metzineres and L’Arravalera are opening registration for the Prohibition Hacking Workshop: Reducing the Impact of the Gag Law on Health, a training session led by DoctorX aimed at reflecting on the effects of the Citizen Security Law on health, harm reduction, and the everyday lives of people who use substances.

The workshop offers a critical, educational, and participatory space to address how prohibitionism, stigma, and control policies affect bodies, rights, and care strategies. From a health-based, community-oriented, and situated perspective, the activity seeks to provide tools to better understand these impacts and to explore creative, cautious, and collective ways to reduce harm.

The proposal combines theoretical, historical, and philosophical foundations of so-called “drug-loving mischief” with discussions on self-protection, discretion, risk reduction, contemporary technologies, gender perspective, and psychoactive gastronomy. All of this is approached through humor, political critique, and a health-centered perspective.

The workshop will be led by DoctorX, the pseudonym of Spanish physician Fernando Caudevilla, a family medicine professional specialized in reducing harms associated with substance use. DoctorX is known for his work providing health advice in digital environments and for offering technical, chemical, and medical information aimed at reducing risks, preventing overdoses, and minimizing harms associated with substance use.
