Ethel Baraona

Ethel Baraona Pohl likes to smell books. She doesn’t like vanilla ice cream… but those grassy notes with a tang of acids with hint of vanilla and mustiness are irresistible for her. Since a youngster she has been smelling printed pages. Now she is also convinced that networked words have quantum scents and that we all are part of them. And by smelling books and digging from one page to the other, researching on the issue of artistic and urban practices, she has learnt about their political and social impact, and how these kind of practices can be active tools for protest, to create awareness, to enhance dialogue, and more important, how artistic practices can be tools for taking action. dpr-barcelona.com
