Project

At Faberllull Olot I will work on the project "Nature and change", a creative essay structured around the life and work of Miguel Delibes. It engages in a constant dialogue with many works, both literary and artistic or cinematographic, and with thought. The essay reviews concepts such as nature, environment, rurality, progress or hunting, among others. The analysis of contemporary cultural production from a transnational and transcultural perspective has a very important weight in the project, but also the relationship of these ideas with the movements in defense of the rural world and nature, and the awareness of climate change.
