Ecologies of the Senses explores the threshold where meteorological dynamics intertwine in an ever-changing process, a feedback loop that configures a relational framework essential for sustaining life. It invites us to cross the threshold—where the measurable and the intuitive meet—to reimagine our relationship with the natural rhythms that surround us and, ultimately, constitute us.
The activities explore how we inhabit space when space itself is reconfigured, inviting artists and creators to design contemporary rituals that translate meteorological phenomena into sensorial languages, contaminating boundaries between the material and the intangible, between science and imagination, between data and memory, between climate impact and the intimate perception of the world.
Ecologies of the Senses is carried out within the framework of the Thousand Years of Skies program.
ACTIVITIES – 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Visit to the meteorological section of the Fabra Observatory led by meteorologist Alfons Puertas, where we will learn about the effects of meteorological phenomena in the city of Barcelona.
WORKSHOP – Invisible Meteorological Landscape
We will learn to build projects with Arduino to build meteorological technologies to explore different invisible physical and environmental phenomena, exploring the uses and possibilities of these instruments for the creation and implementation of interdisciplinary projects.
Led by the creator Sandra Huerto.
A second session of this workshop will be held on Saturday, June 28 (10 a.m. to 2 p.m.), for those who want to expand their knowledge and be able to create or implement it in an artistic project.
The second session will not be held at the Observatory, a space to be defined.

Corpo-Cosmic Approaches / Earth, Water, Fire and Air
Nicolás convenes a group to delve into a series of somatic practices that initially propose an introspective investigation of four elements present in our bodies: earth, water, fire, and air. These presences are invoked from the context of the Fabra Observatory gardens and investigated internally through a guided, very subtle process. The impetus of this approach is to invite us to intuit and activate the connections we are called to continually forge in order to maintain homeostasis at the physical, mental, emotional, and/or spiritual—and planetary—levels. The session eventually moves from the personal to the collective, using conversation as a means to delve into the practice of deep listening—offering our full attention to the person sharing, without judging, advising, questioning, or interrupting. This method helps us receive messages openly, including the emotions they bring with them. Corpo-Cosmic Approaches / Earth, Water, Fire and Air seeks to inhabit the gardens of the Fabra Observatory to travel from the micro to the macro in the cosmos that houses us and that we house within us.
