Let’s Compost | Activity | MACBA Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona

The community vegetable patch at the Mobile Garden is taking part in the Ravals(s) Cultural Festival for the second year, organized by the Tot Raval Foundation in collaboration with other neighborhood organizations. This year, we will be setting up the new composter and learning how to make compost through an organic material circuit.

We will approach composting from an edaphological perspective (the study of soils) and the evolution of terrestrial ecosystems. How are soils formed? What elements are involved? How do these changes affect the ecosystem? These are the questions we will try to answer while we talk about how a composter works, how it must be maintained, what indicators must be observed and what decisions must be made according to these indicators. This will provide participants with the keys to start their own composting process.

Carlos Cobo Garcia is part of the Espai Ambiental cooperative, environmental and educational councilor at Copons and ecological farmer and member of the Parc agrari de la Conca d’Òdena.

In collaboration with

Mobile Garden. A place to meet

Is it possible to be radically public? How public are cultural institutions? The Mobile Garden is born from this dilemma. It is a garden because it is conceived as a space of urban calm, of shared dialogue, an oasis where the community – and the Museum too – can ‘be’.
