FRIDAY 18 MARCH

One more Friday, Razzmatazz turns into Fuego, the clubber’s answer to the urban music scene. This time, our trusted club hosts Jarreau Vandal, DREA and Yibril.

An LGTBI+ look at Planet Life’ is the permanent exhibition of the Natural Science Museum of Barcelona and proposes a journey through the sexual diversity of the animal world from an LGBTIQ+ perspective. It moves away from stereotypes and social precepts imposed by humans to learn about the affective, sexual and gender naturalness of animals through 12 panels that invite us to reflect on this diversity.

SATURDAY 19TH MARCH

The Soul Market celebrates the first edition of this year’s market in a special session. More than twenty stands with all kinds of designs, artists and artisans will be selling jewellery, clothing and decorative items.
