On Saturday, April 5th, we participated in Ponent Fest, a fair of social and transformative economy, in Tàrrega. From Laboqueria Arquitectura, it was a true pleasure to be part of this gathering full of initiatives committed to the territory, sustainability, and social justice. We shared ideas and experiences about housing access models such as urban masoveria, housing cooperatives, and other alternatives that put life at the center.
We want to thank the festival organizers: Ponent Coopera, Generalitat de Catalunya – Department of Business and Labor, Social Economy, Economic Transformation, and Diputació de Lleida, for making this much-needed space possible.
Thanks also to everyone who came to talk, engage, and add their voices. We leave with many ideas, inspiration, and a strong desire to continue working for dignified and accessible housing in rural areas.
We keep moving forward, with renewed energy, to activate empty homes and collectively rethink how we want to inhabit our villages.
