Traumnovelle presents Herejes in Logroño

For the fourth consecutive year, Wallonie-Bruxelles Architectures is organising the FWB's presence at the Festival Concéntrico, which this year takes place from 19 to 24 June in Logrono.

Among the urban installations that will bring the town to life is Traumnovelle's Herejes project. A project taking place in the Soto del Ebro, a place marked by the dark memory of a not-so-distant past. Here, bodies —dead or alive— were gathered and set on fire by the river. Above, they built their cemetery, as if seeking to preserve superiority even in death. The unnamed were left behind, without graves, some swept away by the river’s current.

Perhaps there wasn’t enough space for all their tombs. Or perhaps they knew that every trace had to vanish. And yet, they remain. Their numbers grow. They have become everyone and everything: the fear, the desire.

Herejes marks the arrival of the time of the monsters. But these monsters do not come for revenge; they come for unconditional empathy. The project stands as an open invitation to the public: join us, you are welcome.
