Anti-gentrification movement - 2017 illustration using carbon paper by #RobertoPiqueras 11th part - "I started thinking about my hometown as a city to fully discover, not to promote it, but as a place I can fit after years of bullying from the new nazis in my teenage years.(...) maybe the key is to live a life happily enough to not need holidays miles away, but this sounds utopia for the majority."

I remember the day I told my friend I was going to live in Hackney Wick or Bethnal Green  around 2010 and they thought the area was messy and dangerous but, after 5 years the same ones thought I was being a snob living in this fancy, trendy, hipster area occuping one of the old council flats, having an empty Versace store and Margiela campaigns just around the corner." 10.4.2017 in Passeig Marítim de Barcelona - Art project commissioned by@LaBAE_BeforeAnyoneElse

Anti-gentrification movement - 2017 illustration using carbon paper by #RobertoPiqueras 9th part - "The city does not define who you are and if it does, soemtimes is not the way you think. Coming back to my hometown made me realize  how much I was slipping away from my original background and trying to live an irreal fantasy made by corporations and the media that makes millions of people feel unlucky or unfortunate every day." 13.2.2017 in Can'oriach - Art project commissioned by @LaBAE_BeforeAnyoneElse
