Scaling them down into everydayness, he intertwines an interest in epistemology with an inclination towards amateurship. Due to a tendency to hypermobility and to play devil\u2019s advocate, he often falls in dislocation, a condition that is translated into\u00a0<strong>visual essays<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>creative prose<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sharing and working with others is an important component in his curatorial practice. To work collaboratively has been the aim behind the foundation in 2009 of CeRCCa_Center for Research and Creativity Casamarles, a space that has hosted more than 100 artists, thinkers and activist knitting a net of fruitful\u00a0<strong>complicities.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Despite current discourses, accademia has enhanced experimentation and engagement in his work. Combined with a disposition to test his learnings, this intellectual framework has been fundamental to challenge and reflect upon a practice that encompasses grassroots creative activism,\u00a0<strong>academic texts<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>conversations.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pau Cata is the initiator of CeRCCa and co-coordinator of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nacmm.org\/en\/\">NACMM &#8211; North Africa Cultural Mobility Map<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kibrit.org\/\">KIBRIT<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.platformharakat.com\/\">Platform HARAKAT<\/a>.
