Starting today and until 8 March, the UAB will be showcasing the Món-tanca exhibition, created by the Enmedio group and produced by the International Catalan Institute of Peace (Institut Català Internacional per la Pau, ICIP). The project explores the many ways of undermining the logic of separation and stigmatisation with examples of creative revindication actions being carried out in various countries. The exhibition is located on the campus' northern axis, in front of the Humanities Library.

The project consists in the edition of six newspapers, which are mixed together to make a photo composition representing borders and walls. When the newspapers are unfolded, one side shows six large photographs and the other a poster with examples of actions carried out by the following activists and creative groups: No Mad Makers,Peng!, The Electronic Disturbance Theatre, Center for Political Beauty, The Bil'in Friends of Freedom and Justice and the Enmedio's TAF! Photographic Action Workshop.

The exhibition was first displayed at the start of 2017 in Sant Boi de Llobregat and organisers propose two types of exhibition lectures: the first, lineal, as offered by any tabloid, and the other a mural lecture, putting into relation the different aspects of a world-wall with actions aiming to question this reality, as well as an essay written by the Enmedio group.
