Presentation of TEJA at the Círculo de Bellas Artes – Casa Europa

This past Tuesday, May 13, we presented TEJA at the Círculo de Bellas Artes – Casa Europa, in a warm and necessary gathering that brought together artists, institutions, and allies to reflect on art as a space of refuge, resistance, and collective creation. Representatives such as Manuela Otero, María Tolmos, Flavia Introzzi, and Amelie Aranguren shared the network’s history and goals, joined by powerful interventions from Shada Safadi, Manar Idrissi, Tareq Khalaf and Karim Hauser, as well as artistic contributions from Dora García and Lara Salous, whose works were sold to support TEJA’s activities. The event also featured catering by Lakook, a performance by Una Fiesta Salvaje, and simultaneous translation by Abderrahim Abkari. TEJA deeply appreciates the support received and celebrates the collective work of its members.
