What does GRAF offer

— Shared calendar
Access to the internal organization tool for GRAF’s spaces. It gathers the information of all the activities planned for the future or in the process of being programmed. The aim of the calendar is to share this information in the mid and long term, in order to generate valuable knowledge and enable the strategic planning of new activities. The advantage of this is the optimization of resources. GRAF provides direct contact with the rest of GRAF’s spaces.

— Public agenda
Bring to light and spread the programme of the spaces in the public access agenda. The agenda offers a quick consultation site of GRAF spaces’ programme, proposals from different fields of contemporary art and from all over the Catalan geography. The aim of the agenda is to make the programme of institutional and independent spaces/projects more accessible and to contribute in the development of new audiences, facilitating the transfer between different disciplines.

Access to all the information related to the spaces and their programmes published in GRAF, both present and past. GRAF generates an archive of the events that have taken place in the context of Barcelona and Catalonia, as well as of the spaces that have been part of them. Thus, GRAF contributes to the collective memory, visibilizes the reality of the context and offers a free access point to check this information.

From Moroccan parents and born in Torelló, Ikram Bouloum (1993) has been living in Barcelona for ten years where she has developed her artistic facet as Dj playing in most of the clubs and parties in the city. Her music sessions are conceived as a form of narrative, a kind of sound literature, and her utopian club is a polyphonic space.

In May 2021, Ikram Bouloum released her first EP, “Ha-bb5”, which brings together the representation of a tragedy and a birth along five tracks produced by Mans O. The project aims to deploy and counterpose a musical and aesthetic dialogue between the most contemporary Western electronica and a reinterpretation of the popular musical aesthetic and dance of Maghreb, based on the cultural and personal heritage of the artist. Feminist, emancipated and innovative, the music of “Ha-bb5” explores a radical sound that destroys the two “establishments” of the dichotomy of the cultural shock, in order to create a space of its own, empowered and safe.

Ikram Bouloum presents “Ha-bb5 UPDATE”, an exhibition curated by Gracias por su visita at the Nogueras Blanchard gallery during the Art Nou 2021 program. “ Ha-bb5 UPDATE” unfolds a visual and sound journey through the elements that support and configure the musical narrative of “Ha-bb5”, with the aim to recreate this space in a new context: the exhibition space of an art gallery. The exhibition gives prominence to “Ha-bb5”; it recovers and presents in the foreground the choral voices, the technical meditations, and the symbology that are never protagonists in an EP, nonetheless always important and indispensable.

Through six parallel activities (during the Tuesdays of the exhibition) the five elements that form the exhibition will emerge, will be activated and will be pronounced in order to reconstruct the entire plot of “Ha-bb5” and re-explain the story, and will end up with a final performance featured by Mans O.

GRAF is a tool to improve the communication and coordination between the spaces of contemporary art in Catalonia. The agenda of those who share their agendas.
