THE GEOGRAPHY OF ERASURE
TWO VIDEOS ABOUT BARCELONETA'S ONGOING, NEIGHBOR - LED "GEOGRAPHY OF ERASURE" WALKING TOURS :
Enjoy the above GritTV video piece in English about the Tour.

This is a wonderful video of one of our early Geography of Erasure Tours, with lots of costumes, waves and "Esborrada"/"Erased ?" signs.
In Spanish and Catalan from La Vanguardia.
The GEOGRAFIA ESBORRADA is a neighborhood walking tour and critical tourism project, aimed to intervene in the tourist-driven gentrification of seaside Barceloneta. The walking tours are led by residents, and highlight important locations in the neighborhood that have been subject to displacement and historical erasure; be it during the Franco dictatorship or during the speculative frenzy of the current era. These tours are part of a broad cultural strategy in the high-stakes struggle for defense of the Barceloneta. I helped produce the first couple rounds of the ongoing tours and the Map of Erasure.

Production by Marina Monsonis, Design by Kernow Craig, Drawings by Emily Forman, and Costume/Tour design by Aviv Kruglanski and Emily Forman.

An mp3 for each of the 'Erased' locations on the self-guided audio walking tour is available on the Geografia Esborrada website.
