Miguel Fuster, 15 anys al carrer

A photographic exhibition by Juan Lemus on the life and work of the draughtsman Miguel Fuster, a painter and draughtsman from Barcelona, neighbour of Olzinelles street 13, who passed away in 2022. Fuster ended up living on the street when a series of circumstances piled up in a short space of time: a sentimental break-up, the loss of his job and the fire in his flat (a mezzanine on Olzinelles street, 13), and on top of that a galloping alcoholism that ended up sinking him. He spent 15 years of his life on the street. His last days were spent at Plaça Bonet i Moixí (formerly Plaça de Málaga), where volunteers from Arrels found him and offered him help to change this situation. After overcoming his alcohol addiction, he told his story in 3 graphic novels reissued in 2025, which capture the torment and harshness of life for those who have nothing and have lost everything. Presentation of the graphic novel — Wednesday 4 November, 19:00. Presented by Juan Lemus, photographer and member of the Arrels Fundació team, Guillem Fernández of Arrels Fundació, and Matilde Martínez of the publisher Godall. Organised by Arrels Fundació.
