We are pleased to present the exhibition "Aranès, the Occitan of Catalonia" that you can visit at CRAI campus Catalunya until May 30.
A brief tour of the history, characteristics and vitality of Aranese, a variant of Occitan spoken in Aran. Its historical link with Catalonia has allowed it to preserve its identity and maintain its living language, which makes it a linguistic singularity. The exhibition presents the history of the recognition of Aranese, the legal framework for protection and the human and geographical space that is its own. Aranese is shown as a living language, with cultural production and present in new communication technologies. The exhibition is completed with a "booklet" with examples of basic Aranese vocabulary.
The official opening will take place on May 15th at 12 noon in the lobby of the CRAI campus Catalunya.

The Coordi - Fair Trade and Ethical Finance - propose the exhibition "The Contribution of Ethical Finance and Fair Trade to the SDGs" to bring us closer to fair trade on the occasion of World Fair Trade Day, May 10.
World Fair Trade Day is celebrated worldwide on the second Saturday of May and its purpose is to highlight the contributions to the fight against poverty, exploitation and climate change through fair trade. To make known that another economy is possible, where people and the planet are ahead of economic profit. The fair trade movement ensures that workers around the world are treated fairly with decent wages and working conditions.
The exhibition shows, on the one hand, the link between Ethical Finance and Fair Trade, and their contribution to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. On the other hand, it tells the life stories of people from the Global South who have received microcredits granted by Oikocredit partner organizations. The majority of these people are women, and their experiences are inspiring cases of female empowerment.
This exhibition, organized by the Office of Equality and Social Commitment, will be traveling and will also be exhibited at the Catalunya campus CRAI.

Exhibition "Landscapes and Policies of Urban Transformation. Perspectives from Anthropology" at the Catalunya campus CRAI
From to
The exhibition "Landscapes and Policies of Urban Transformation. Perspectives from Anthropology" presents the posters made by students of the Postindustrialism, Globalization and Urban Space subject of the Master's in Urban Anthropology, Migrations and Social Intervention and can be visited in the lobby of CRAI campus Catalonia where the students' posters are shown on a TV screen.
In this activity, the students have put into practice theoretical and ethnographic resources to address the processes of transformation and production of urban space in the context of late capitalism. These processes of change are often structured in international economic and social flows that impact the cultural dynamics of the regions, interconnecting realities.
During the neoliberal globalization process, multiple debates have developed at different levels about the effects on urban life, in cities and regions of the new command roles of certain global capitals in a political context of retreating the social function of the State. These are theoretical discussions that range from the annihilation of space and neoliberalism to the theorems of the global city and that allow us to analytically structure current urban phenomena.
Combining these different theoretical frameworks, and providing appropriate case studies, the students expose the elements necessary for the construction of global space as an object of ethnographic study, which involves focusing on the political, symbolic and material frameworks involved in urban transformation.
These posters emphasize the anthropological interest in urban space through a relational perspective that allows us to identify the multiple factors and agents involved in such dynamics of sociocultural change. These are the operating legitimizing narratives and the role of the administration, the emergence of new imaginaries and actors within the transformed space and the assortment of local practices of contestation and resistance within the framework of a territory struggling to be produced and signified globally.
