Damp Problems
18.11.2023

Damp Problems proposes a two-part thought laboratory to address territorial design problems linked to water in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. The first part is a public program of talks with activists, designers and researchers whose work addresses processes such as historical extractivism, waterways, political ecology or monocultures. This is followed by a workshop open to non-specialist audiences in which the past, present and future of the extraction territories located in the northwest of the peninsula are discussed.

Founded in 2013 by architects Antonio Giráldez López and Pablo Ibáñez Ferreira, Bartlebooth is a research platform and publishing house that examines contemporary spatial practice through publications, research, workshops, installations and public programs.
