The third edition of Ús Barcelona follows the idea of recovering unused spaces in the city through art and social participation. This brings us to the industrialist neighbourhood of Poblenou. Ús Barcelona called the tribe, formed by neighbours, musicians, wise shamans, artists and hunters/gatherers, to perform the resurrection ceremony for this monument. Long live the resurrection!

For this year, the chosen space to resurrect was the abandoned factory of Can Ricart, considered to be a national monument and symbol of industrialism in 19th century Barcelona. With its death in 2006, a wave of protests and a sense of grief overcame the neighborhood. No one has set foot in Can Ricart since. To revive the space, we got artists like Paola Delfin, Saturno, Ulises Mendicutty, Jofre Oliveras, Igor Nunes, Yoshi Sislay, Mr Sis, Claudio Drë, Daniela Carvalho and Irene López to fill the grounds with graphic interventions and murals. Music was served by Pulmon, Wolf Saxon, Sonoro Dub & Ras Zohen, GAZ and Djs like eFONIK & DAVEETEE. Kids also enjoyed the festival at the Ús Kids installation by La Castillo.
