Per la Pau / Peace in Progress

ICIP is commemorating the International Day of Peace once again this year on 21 September, at an institutional event attended by the President of the Institute, Rafael Grasa, who will read a statement of the commitments made by the Institute for the new year, the Vice President of the government of Catalonia, Joana Ortega, and the president of the Parliament of Catalonia, Núria de Gispert.

The event will take place at ICIP´s Gran Via office and the catalogue of the ESCOLTA public art project will be presented this year. The project, produced by the Institute, has been carried out in 2011. The catalogue contains the photographs that the artists Josep Asunción and Gemma Guasch (A+G) have taken of hundreds of participants in a process involving listening to their heart, and which also includes letters exchanged between partners as part of the Correspondence initiative. Moreover, the video Esborrar-se de mots [Cross out words] by the artists A+G will also be screened during the event.
