We are pleased at Espronceda to host the multidisciplinary artist Yuval Avital, for the first time in Barcelona with the participatory project born during the Covid Human-Signs. After Manifesta 13 in Marseille and performances in different parts of the world, the video exhibition will be exhibited for the first time in Barcelona, on the occasion of the Loop Festiva, City Screen, from 13 to 22 November. The exhibition will present the work of more than 200 world artists, with a call for public participation. A global participatory work of musicians, dancers and artists who together experience a new form of collective work. At Espronceda it will be presented as an immersive experience, on the theme of the body, and in particular how during Covid and the lock down the fears, loneliness, anxiety, staying closed gave life to a choral work, combining the bodies and voices of more than 200 artists. The exhibition will be curated by Savina Tarsitano.

Human Signs - Global Participatory voice and gesture artwork by Yuval Avital Dance curator and co-artistic director - Stefania Ballone Exhibition curator: Savinia Tarsitano Exhibition design - Maddalena d’Alfonso Born in the COVID-19 pandemic, Human Signs is a participatory art project by Yuval Avital that until today involves more than 200 performers, from 50 different countries. Departing from Avital’s self-filmed art-testimony which he transformed into a cantus firmus, inviting artists to dialogue with him, expressing their intimate emotions through voice and gesture – the most fundamental forms of human expression. Replicating the aesthetics of the virality, the artwork travel throughout the globe, forming infinite ensembles and constellations.
