Fabulating a different world (curated by Blanca de la Torre) suggests that the climate crisis has placed us at a turning point where the old narratives inherited from a Cartesian paradigm force us to rethink the stories behind an ecocidal hegemonic system that has been revealed as unsustainable.

Aligning the exhibition proposal and the works included in it with this propositional tone, where the element of criticism serves to rethink the planet from the eco-dependence that leads us to the
construction of different alternatives and, ultimately, to a better place. Within this framework, Basurama proposes MADE IN as an exercise in personal reflection but framed on a global scale, represented by a map with a Fuller projection, Dymaxion, which separates us from the north-south dichotomy and places us in the imaginary of other possible futures. The map is built from reused cardboard boxes – with their memory, their origin, their design, their brands -, the quintessential symbol of transport on a global scale and a fundamental reference for understanding the framework of the global trade system. The addition of the participation of those attending the exhibition will allow us to draw patterns that identify the industrial centres of production on a global scale, as well as to visualise our individual consumption.

We will establish relationships between the local and the global, the first step towards raising awareness of the interrelation of our social models and environmental impacts.
