S1 #5 | Neighbourhood Resistance and Resilience | Daniel Pardo (ABDT | Barcelona)
Manage episode 310953998 series 3003220
On this episode, our guest is Daniel Pardo, an organizer of various neighbourhood organizations in Barcelona, including ABDT (the Assembly of Neighborhoods for Tourism Degrowth). I caught up with Daniel and friend Ana Elia to speak about Barcelona, what has become of it as a result of overtourism and the local struggles against touristification there. We discuss what the COVID-19 pandemic did to Barcelona and what, if anything, we can learn from the Great Pause.
Daniel moved to Barcelona 15 years ago and has since become a passionate activist, investigating and fighting against the exploitation of his city and its people. He is also currently the coordinator of the project Biblioteca de Objetos ("Library of Objects").
We are also joined by Ana Elia, a friend and native of Barcelona who completed her doctorate on gendered social networks in community-based ecotourism projects in Ghana. She is the co-director of CEHDA (cehdaghana.org/en), a migrant and environmental justice organization founded by Ghanaian migrants to support rural resilience in Africa as well as to support migrant people in Catalonia.
This episode is entitled "Neighbourhood Resistance and Resilience in Barcelona."
*******During the recording of this episode there was an issue with the microphone, and so it is somewhat difficult to hear Daniel. We have uploaded all of our episodes including this one along with subtitles if you'd like to follow along there: https://youtu.be/PSj9nEE7oiM*********
