An exhibition of photography, collage, and printmaking. It brings together fragments of stories that have traveled through places, generations, and experiences, letting them meet once again. The show explores how culture never stays still: it is passed on through voices, gestures, and shared memories.

In these works, women emerge whose voices became meeting places. Griots also appear (oral storytellers of West Africa and keepers of collective memory). Their words carried worlds from generation to generation. Their gestures silently shaped the course of culture. Their influence remains alive wherever life continues.

Top Manta was born in 2017 as the social and solidarity clothing brand of the Barcelona Street Vendors Union, which guarantee the future of local communities instead of forcing them to migrate.

This exhibition is the result of the workshop where Argentine illustrators Vero and Güido portray the stories of the participants.

Sam Samiee (b. Tehran) is a painter, essayist, and psychoanalyst in training based in Berlin and Tehran. From paintings, figuration, abstraction, texts, and installations he synthesizes his heavy research on art history, Persian poetry, and psychoanalytical theories mixing media into studio practices.
For this particular headboard curated by The Over, Samiee breaks from the tradition of flat painting, questioning how to represent a three-dimensional world over a uniform space, in this case, the walls of your hotel room.

Miguel Ovalle was born in Miami, Florida. Living in a poor neighbourhood of Miami, art became a way to escape, making his own toys out of cardboard, glue and masking tape. In his work he explores the communicative and visual possibilities of writing, it is a constant evolution of the unlikely aesthetic intersection of typography, architecture and technology; integrating these influences to create a hybrid of written communication and three-dimensional structures and environments that transcend.

Explore how they transform their rooms and leave mark at POL & Grace hotel.

We are curious, we like to question conventions, turn concepts inside out and reimagine reality. This is the core philosophy with which we re-think spaces within the Hotel. The common spaces are synonym of a waiting room, associated with the passing of dead time. We want to turn this lapsus of a space dedicated to WAITING into a space centered on WANDER. We transform that spatial identity into “THE OVER” where you will find the work of our artists in residence. Stimulate your mind with new aesthetics, new forms of art, new perspectives and start your own discovery of the city with a pair of fresh eyes and awakened curiosity.
