FOOTDISTRICT and NIKE ACG, together with OCEAN52, present the fourth season of TERRA PROJECT, an initiative that proposes a new way of relating to nature through understanding —an essential step toward protecting it.
This edition unfolds as an intense and sensory journey: a day to pause, observe, and rethink. To ask ourselves what it means to create with awareness in a world that is constantly transforming. Talks and workshops become living spaces where urgent questions intersect, and the individual finds meaning through the collective. From the most technical to the most intuitive, this gathering invites us to explore new ways of relating to our surroundings —to imagine other ways of dressing, producing, and caring. A day to plant possibilities.
Activities
Segundo Espacio will host the activities on June 11, becoming the ideal setting to explore recycling from multiple angles. A space where theory and practice intertwine through different disciplines to rethink materials, processes, and their impact on our environment.
Textile Crypsis
An introduction to the tensions between fashion and sustainability through two key questions: What impact do synthetic fabrics have? What can we do about it?
Eme Rock’s talk will address the lifecycle of materials, the challenges of recycling, and new ideas for transformation. It will also offer a look at camouflage — crypsis as an evolutionary strategy that has inspired textiles since World War I. Patterns that once served to conceal now reveal, in a context of environmental awareness.
Navy Blue WORKSHOP
A creative action led by artist Nicasio Torres, where we will transform white garments into camouflage uniforms inspired by the marine environment.
After analyzing the colors, textures, and forms of the surrounding landscape, we will design new patterns that engage in dialogue with nature. The goal is not to hide but to integrate — to seek visual harmony with the ocean and its shore. A way to translate into fabric what we’ve learned about sustainability, perception, and aesthetic language.
Gyotaku WORKSHOP
Lourdes Rosés introduces us to Gyotaku, a traditional Japanese artistic technique born among nets and tides. Originally used by fishermen to record their best catches, this practice has evolved into a way to capture the form and soul of a fish on paper using non-toxic inks and flexible sheets. The direct imprint of the fish’s body becomes a unique work of art, blending gesture, memory, and nature.
Casting
Nicasio Torres, Eme Rock, and Lourdes Rosés participate in the fourth season of Terra Project for their ways of creating with respect for the past and commitment to the future. Three visions that connect art, design, and sustainability as tools for imagining new possible futures.
Nicasio Torres
Born in Las Palmas and based in Barcelona, Nicasio Torres blends engineering and fine arts in a pictorial work that is pure intuition. Illustrator, teacher, and artist, his work explores the balance between form and energy, through a vibrant visual language that breaks boundaries and seeks new forms of beauty. These ideas will be developed in a workshop where participants apply his techniques to create uniforms that seek harmony with the marine environment.
Eme Rock
Designer, design professor, and co-founder of Makeo.top, a second-hand fashion platform created as a critical response to the established consumer system. Drawing from his experience in the fashion industry, Eme promotes a vision rooted in reuse, conscious consumption, and resistance to the commodification of what we understand as fair fashion.
Lourdes Rosés
A painter trained at the Llotja School in Barcelona, Lourdes Rosés creates her work from a deep connection with the creative process. Her career spans watercolor to ceramics, with special attention to concept as the driving force behind each project. Her work is defined by constant experimentation and a near-ritual dedication to painting.
Sustainability, art, and community come together this June 11 to collectively imagine new ways of being in the world.
