Opening a new chapter of activist art, collective architecture, and civic imagination, Libia Castro & Ólafur Ólafsson, together with La Casa Invisible in Málaga, present The Rehabilitation of La Casa Invisible – Chapter I, an expansive community art project that operates across architecture, film, activism, and social practice.
La Casa Invisible, a citizen-managed social and cultural center located in an 1850 neo-Arabic building in the heart of Málaga, is a living experiment in citizen participation and horizontal governance. Since its occupation in 2007, the center has grown into a crucial commons — nurturing cultural, artistic, ecological, feminist, queer, and political initiatives in defiance of institutional neglect. Now facing imminent eviction, the project seeks to re-anchor and support La Casa Invisible by strategically reintroducing an architectural renovation plan by architect and professor José Manuel López Osorio, through a useful art project initiated by Castro & Ólafsson with the center and curator Gemma Medina Estupiñán.
