Casa Gomis Acquired by Ministry of Culture: A Legacy of Manifesta 15 Barcelona Metropolitana
Manifesta 15 Barcelona Metropolitana proudly opened Casa Gomis, a Modernist architectural site in the Llobregat Delta, to the public as part of its "Balancing Conflicts" cluster. Over the course of the three-month biennial in 2024, the venue welcomed 58,281 visits, becoming a key platform for raising awareness of the site's cultural and environmental significance.
Yesterday, Spanish Minister of Culture Ernest Urtasun announced the Ministry’s acquisition of Casa Gomis, ensuring its preservation as a cultural centre. This milestone underscores the transformative potential of Manifesta 15 as an incubator for social and ecological change. Casa Gomis was selected for the biennial two years ago to spotlight the imminent threat of demolition due to the proposed expansion of Barcelona El Prat Airport, and to emphasise the need to protect the surrounding natural environment from industrial encroachment.
Hedwig Fijen, Director of Manifesta 15, remarked:
“The Ministry of Culture’s acquisition of Casa Gomis, just six weeks after the biennial's conclusion, is a remarkable achievement. Preserving this iconic site safeguards both its national heritage and the rich natural environment that surrounds it.”
The transformation of Casa Gomis into a cultural centre aligns with Manifesta 15’s mission to demonstrate how decentralised cultural infrastructures can drive socio-ecological transitions.
Jordi Martí, State Secretary for the Ministry of Culture, commented:
“Casa Gomis is a very important but largely unknown building. Manifesta 15 opened it to the general public and made visible its significance. Now we have to make permanent what Manifesta initiated: a space to think of the relationship between art and nature in times of the climate emergency.”
