   Nando Cruz

   We’re back from our winter break, and we’re starting the 2026 season with a very special guest. Nando Cruz has been a music journalist since the late 1980s. He has contributed to everything from specialty music magazines (Popular 1, Rockdelux), to mainstream newspapers (El Diaro, El Periodico) and from regional television programs to local radio broadcasts. In recent years, he has become infamous for his passion for shining the light on musical realities marginalized by mainstream culture and media, through his feature section, Otros Escenarios Posibles (or “Other Possible Stages”) in El Periódico de Catalunya, and his radio program, 10,000 Fogueres (or “10,000 Bonfires”) through Betevé. He is also the author of half a dozen books, the most recent of which is titled Microfestivales, Y Otros Escenarios Posibles. His work explores how culture unites a community, and why there’s no substitute for homegrown art, and how it can function almost as medicine for society.

   Chris White

   This month on the Metropolitan Culture Corner, we go behind the scenes with Chris White. Born in Canton, Mississippi, and now based in Barcelona, Chris is an artist, poet, writer, and immigration attorney. She takes her artistic inspiration from the rhythms of blues, gospel, and jazz, and her work in painting, poetry, and textiles weaves together personal experiences with collective narrative. At the heart of her artistic practice lies what she calls a dialogue with the soul — a reclamation of memory, voice, and presence, opening up a space for transformation and healing. Her latest exhibition was here Barcelona, and was titled The Body Keeps the Score. It showcased her mixed-media practice combining African wax textiles, poetic inscriptions, and ancestral symbols. In her own words, “each piece is an act of memory that explores trauma and healing from a psychological and somatic perspective, creating bridges between the individual and the collective.” Chris has also had residencies and solo shows in Mexico, Italy, and Costa Rica, as well as here in her adopted home city of Barcelona.

   Alex Yamet

   For our last interview of 2025, we go behind the scenes with third-generation art dealer Alex Yamet. Alex's grandfather, Irving "Sonny" Yamet, was one of the first American art dealers to introduce European prints to the United States after World War II, many of which were acquired from legendary workshops in Paris and beyond, such as Mourlot and Maeght, where artists like Picasso, Chagall, Miró, Dalí and Matisse worked. Alex has followed in the footsteps of his grandfather, and has recently inaugurated a new art gallery in Barcelona to showcase these works. BF4gallery does more than just exhibit art: according to their mission statement, it preserves it, contextualizes it, and connects it with a contemporary perspective. Its permanent collection, comprised of original lithographs and prints by the great masters of the 20th century, coexists with the work of contemporary artists who are expanding the visual language toward new forms of expression.
