Sustrairik gabeko zuhaitzak ez du aurrera egiten – A tree without roots does not thrive is a project developed by Angélica Dass in six schools in Bilbao within the framework of the Art for Change Call of the Fundación la Caixa, which promotes art and culture as drivers of change.

The project promotes the development of artistic processes generated from a positive choral narrative of migrations and cultural diversity in the community. It works on the image, identity and the archive with students in Secondary Education, researching the memory and family albums of internal and international migrations.

Sustrairik gabeko zuhaitzak ez du aurrera egiten – A tree without roots does not thrive is a collective and multidisciplinary work that allows us to identify common elements and point out that migration and cultural diversity are consubstantial to human nature and community life. Recognising diversity, promoting equality and positive interaction are the central elements of an intercultural city.
