The project Whose Language Does the Produce Speak? Conversations Between La Boqueria and the Essex Street Market and its resulting exhibition in New York ask the participating artists to reflect on their creative practices and respond to this in connection to new food trends, waste and recycling, conspicuous consumption, urban development, and tourism and “touristification.” Similarly, it asks participating artists to use performance, film, photography, printmaking, and writing, as active platforms that can facilitate collaborations amongst them, vendors, and patrons; and even intimate rendezvous between the artists and the markets themselves.
This project is presented by Artists Alliance Inc., FoodCultura, and Institut Ramon Llull, in collaboration with Center for Book Arts.

Prologue is a mixed-media performance created as a composition of moments - snapshots into the life and thought of French philosopher, activist, and mystic, Simone Weil (1909 - 1943.) As an actor prepares to play Simone Weil, he reflects on the mystical and artistic processes, and on the indispensable role of "the other" to bring depth and meaning to our experience.

In a public square, the audience, wearing headphones, moves through the space answering simple questions with wordless gestures. As the performance evolves, Domini públic becomes at once a three-dimensional mapping of societal structures and an embodied exploration of individual agency and collective power. The spectators become the play’s protagonists as this communal ritual uses game-like structures to bring to life the nature and ramifications of our assigned roles.

The splendid career of one of the most exceptional pianists of all time, Barcelona’s Alicia de Larrocha. The obsessive dedication, anti-divaism, and sophistication of a child prodigy that became an unparalleled performer of Mozart, Granados, Albéniz and Mompou. The only thing small about her was her size.
