The Sense Filtres. Contra l'odi, creació (Without Filters. Against Hate, Creation) project explores the potential of artistic language as a tool for building new narratives in response to hate speech.
In Girona, a group of young people between the ages of 18 and 25, living on the streets and in administrative irregularity, took part in a co-creation process grounded in Axel Honneth's theory of recognition. Equipped with single-use analogue cameras and a notebook, they chose what mattered to them, what was necessary, what was vital: what was worth capturing.
The process became a collective space of listening and trust, where it was possible to forge a bond essential to expressing what too often finds no space to be voiced. This exhibition gathers their visual results with a twofold aim: to raise awareness about the living conditions of those affected by current migration policies, calling on the relevant authorities to act, and at the same time to highlight the importance of social bonds, prompting a reflective gaze through the narrative they created.
A Catalonia-wide project led by InteRed and MiRu, and funded by the Catalan Agency for Development Cooperation. In Girona, the project was carried out thanks to the partnership with MICELI Social and lawyer Laia Costa—and above all through the essential work that the Nousol socio-educational association of Girona does with young people experiencing homelessness through its Arrel Jove project.
