This book was born during the period of confinement, with the cancellation of the 2020 fallas.

“Sentit del tacte” is a collective travelogue that has passed through all our hands. It is the common place where we have written our own story, a union of voices, hands and handwriting, near and far, that unite us, intertwine us and make us stronger. It is the stone in the road that has meant the irruption of the pandemic, in a cold and distant year in which we have not been able to feel the warmth of human touch.

“Sentit del tacte” will be the tangible legacy of the year we could not be there but dream of returning.

'Una pedra en el camí' was the motto of the falla. Each one represented the difficulty of the pandemic with a freely chosen stone.

Writing, drawing and calligraphy have a special vital meaning in the career of artist Yess Andrés, who, struggling with Parkinson's, drew the cover letters in a unique way.

The book as an object passed through different hands of the commission, it was the common thread that united us during the time of confinement, in which touching each other was forbidden. It was the place where we could communicate and tell our story of this pandemic and thus take care of each other.
