This April, CASA SEAT’s commitment to the city’s cultural agenda continues through debates on #mobility and activities that explore various artistic disciplines, with a special focus on literature. For Sant Jordi, the space will feature an anthology in audiobook format entitled Mobile literature for a new millennium, consisting of a prologue and 21 fragments of books written by authors such as Miguel de Cervantes, Virginia Woolf, Mercè Rodoreda and Najat El Hachmi, in which movement is explored as a transformative element of the characters and the cities they live in. The audiobook will be available free of charge from 22 April on the website www.casa.Seat, Spotify and iVoox.

This April will also see three of the events in the series of conversations with writers in the Literary Cafés. On 15 April, the CASA #Seat auditorium will be visited by writer Juan #pablovillalobos, whose works include such acclaimed works as Si viviéramos en un lugar normal or I don’t expect anyone to believe me (Herralde Novel Prize 2016). On 21 April the guest writer will be #antoniomunozmolina, 2013 Prince of Asturias Award winner and author of In the Night of Time, Prince of Shadows and Like a Fading Shadow, among others. Finally, on 29 April the last guest of the month will be the celebrated Argentinean writer #andresneuman, author of Bariloche and La vida en las ventanas.

Activities to explore the future of mobility

While the anthology Mobile literature for a new millennium will explore #mobility from a literary point of view, several activities will look at it based on the exchange of opinions and knowledge. On 14 April, CASA #Seat is hosting a round table on the future of #mobility in Barcelona as part of Barcelona ReAct, the conference organised by the Barcelona City Council to revitalise the city’s economy. Participants include Rosa Alarcón, Barcelona Council member for #mobility; Daniel Serra, Director of EIT Urban #mobility; Judit Batayé, founder of Six-Ter, and Gabriele Palma, CASA #Seat Managing Director. In addition, on 17 and 27 April, the public can learn all the details of the new #Seat MÓ eScooter 125 electric scooter and try it out.
