📖 Industrial heritage, fashion and performance
For two hours, visitors can freely explore the museum cloister to discover an immersive proposal merging industrial heritage, fashion, performance, photography, and contemporary design. The initiative shares the legacy of this 19th-century textile factory, one of the best preserved in Europe, beyond Balmaseda.
The cloister will be transformed with imagery, soundscapes, and scenographic elements inspired by textile manufacturing, blurring boundaries between spectators and artists.
🎭 Featured artists and background
The event features Miss Beige, the artistic alter ego of Ana Esmith, acting as a living sculpture in silent dialogue with attendees to question visual codes and beauty standards.
Alongside her, international artist Andrey Bartenev will stage an itinerant performance accompanied by a group of performers and dancers from Bizkaia.
✨ A singular encounter between Bizkaia's industrial heritage and contemporary creation.
