Bee Writingsis presented as a compilation of essays commissionedwith the aim of charting a theoretical framework forthe exhibition, but it is only the first part of a broader publishingproject. Likewise, the exhibition is only the first chapterof Beehave, which unfolds all around the city of Barcelonathroughout a programme of art-related events focused on theimportance of pollination for the preservation of biodiversityand the state of environmental emergency that we arecurrently experiencing.
