Among Us marks the opening of Matiz Gallery’s new space, designed in collaboration with bureau mud.

This inaugural program brings together paintings by Georgian artist Nina Akhobadze, the presentation of Danarti_zine—a women-led independent publication from Tbilisi—and a roundtable facilitated by Aea Initiative. Alongside these, works by artists from Europe and Latin America expand the conversation beyond two cities, reminding us that what unites Tbilisi, Barcelona and Latin American contexts are shared struggles around migration, small communities and women-led initiatives. This collaboration proposes a method: to use art as a tool for belonging and dialogue and to treat small, self-organized gestures as seeds for larger networks of solidarity and exchange.

The show centers on a critical question: How do we rebuild a sense of belonging when migration disrupts it? Through art, these women explore identity, displacement and resilience from feminist, transnational, and community-based approaches.

Among Us is one of the first intercultural actions of BASPcr (Barri de l’Art Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera)—a pilot project by Matiz Gallery that seeks to activate immigrant narratives through artistic interventions. The exhibition will include artist talks, guided visits and participatory activities aimed at building bridges between cultures and shared migrant experiences in Barcelona, a city where 45% of the neighborhood’s population is foreign-born.

Matiz Gallery and BASPcr invite you to join this cultural encounter that expands the role of art beyond aesthetics, transforming it into a space for care, remembrance and transformation.
