Guest co-edited by Marta Fernández Campa and María del Pilar Kaladeen, this issue explores literal and figurative returns to a country where the matter of race is suppressed or negated. Different writers, translators, and artists explore what it means to live and practise their art in Spain as racialised and/or migrant individuals. Read a host of interviews, fiction, poetry, academic articles, and life writing, as well as book reviews including translations from a range of Spanishes.

Welcome Sol Mussa as our new artist in residence!

Sol Mussa (b. Vigo, 1996) is a multidisciplinary artist pursuing a PhD in Creation and Research in Contemporary Art at the University of Vigo.

During the Novos Valores residency, she will develop Biblioteca Decolonial, a project based on old books rescued from a private library in Galicia that were destined to be discarded. Using a range of techniques, she will transform this material into new objects. The project connects Galician symbolism with decolonial perspectives, addressing issues of sustainability, race, and cultural diversity. Her practice seeks to create space for alternative ways of seeing, questioning how white-dominant histories shape visual culture. 

At the Walter & Nicole Leblanc Foundation, she will engage with the Foundation’s archives as living material—approaching rhythm, repetition, and movement in dialogue with her own process-based practice. Brussels is a key context for the project: a city shaped by cultural diversity and ongoing debates around colonial memory, where she will encounter artists and scholars working critically in this field, expanding the research through exchange and dialogue.

The Novos Valores artist residency porgramme was launched by the Provincial Council of Pontevedra in collaboration with the Matadero Madrid Contemporary Creation Center and the Walter & Nicole Leblanc Foundation.
