Ocells al Cap were invited in 2024 by the arts centre Santa Monica in Barcelona to curate three evenings of performance in the season of events Dimecres de So I Cos (Sound and Body on Wednesdays). On the second evening (the 22nd May 2024) Each artist chose an image of a historical work of art that moved them in some way (painting, sculpture, performance, poetry, photography, etc.), and a short text describing why this image was meaningful to them. They also brought an object. Both the image and the text were sealed in an envelope. None of the participating artists had previous knowledge of what the others would do, nor of their choice of image and object.

The artists who performed were: Denys Blacker, Toni Crabb, Nieves Correa, Natàlia Espinet, Paloma Orts, Melina Peña, Mireia Zantop and Bernadette Hopkins,
During the event, we observed the work for synchronicities and connecting threads of meaning. There was a fruitful and inspiring discussion afterwards between the artists and the audience.
