Values

The LASABATERIA Foundation was born from the natural evolution of the original idea of the bookstore project “la sabateria,” which, since 2017, has become a driving force in the Historic Center of the City of Lleida, promoting and supporting neighborhood actions through tools like art and culture, with a broad range of free activities. These have achieved significant participation, extensive media coverage, and a great return to the community.

The positive response and acceptance have made us aim to reach a wider audience and generate new synergies and collaborations to create a network of community ties that see culture as an element of cohesion.

We want concepts as important as effort, tradition, creativity, and reflection to be lived and transmitted through our proposals.

We are committed to restoring the Historic Center’s character as a center and origin. We aim to ensure that lived or heard stories do not disappear. Let’s make the streets alive and vibrant again.

Objectives

The LASABATERIA Foundation aims to support and promote the values of culture and art in our society, particularly in the Historic Center of Lleida, through a series of initiatives that put reading and writing at the forefront as a journey and a driving force for their own creators.

Recovering the city’s memory to achieve a future project.

This objective is directed through three strategic lines:

  • Our spaces and environment.
  • The development of cultural and artistic activities.
  • A commitment to innovation, synergies, and collaboration.

These three axes will be complemented by a set of initiatives and activities aimed at embracing and uniting culture and society, starting from the very core.

Projects

Relletres

The Pleasure of Reading and Writing

The RELLETRES program is at the heart of our vision of culture. A set of activities and proposals related to the pleasure of reading and writing, understanding, and ultimately learning.

It revitalizes the historic centers of cities as a hub of ideas and projects, carrying out cultural actions in the streets, where the audience and the environment are always the protagonists.

Hypatia

The Metaverse and Culture

Shaking the metaverse through cultural, artistic, and philosophical content, making the virtual world a space to convey our values.

A non-fixed world, yet inhabitable, with culture and philosophy as the origin in a continuous process of expansion. Hypatia is observation and knowledge.

The Memory of the Streets

The History of Commerce

The Memory of the Streets arises from the idea of recovering the commercial history of the historic centers of our cities. Through the collection of shared and recorded testimonies, we aim to preserve and disseminate their legacy so that it is not lost and remains in memory. Making it known, spreading it, and highlighting its cultural and social importance.
