Eva Struble, "22@Development," 2008
Eva’s drawing installation
addresses the way Romani gypsies, who populate Poble Nou, a one-time Barcelona suburb, are being edged out
as this beachfront neighborhood undergoes extreme development.
She describes this too common affair as follows: “I pass a group of Romani in one recently dozed lot, still sitting there even as their apartments are gone, around a plastic table, with a small fire burning, everyone seemingly
entertained with beers and a radio blasting music."
