Replay: Fiesta del Árbol is an invitation to explore Barcelona's multi-species communities through a route among the city's trees.

It took place on the 30th of April 2023, precisely on the 124th anniversary of the first ‘Fiesta del Árbol’ in Barcelona, from which it borrows its name. The latter was organized by a forest engineer who believed in recognizing the importance of trees in a country where forests were widely being destroyed. For this, children and teachers gathered together in Parc de la Ciutadella to celebrate the city's trees.

The participants were guided around the trees of Parc de la Ciutadella and Parc de l’Estació del Nord through a map and a book that tells their histories, intimate stories, mythologies, and relationships, with invitations to interact with each tree. At the last stop, a party awaited under a spiral of linden trees.

The project was part of the Model+ activities for Model Festival d'Arquitectures de Barcelona 2023 curated by Eva Franch i Gilabert.
