Based on exhaustive historical-cultural research, this project is sustained by the myths, legends, and figures that have shaped the Catalan imaginary over the centuries, creating a symbolic universe that takes form through tarot, books, and objects.

The objective focuses on a playful and mnemonic exercise, recovering materials from oral tradition to reactivate the sensitive conditions of their transmission. The practice we propose is situated in an intimate and shared space among equals, where reading the cards requires memory and analysis of each myth, and where the experience is built from mutual listening, shared interpretation, and the permanence of the symbolic bond.
