### Current Cultural Highlights Across Andorra

Andorra's cultural scene offers a mix of exhibitions, talks, festivals and music events this week, spanning history, art and local traditions.

French street artist C215, whose real name is Christian Guémy, features in *Figures de l’Emancipació*, a series of portraits honouring key figures in France's fight for emancipation and freedom. The display explores urban art as a medium for memory and activism. It runs at Espai Caldes in Escaldes-Engordany until 13 March.

Archaeological artefacts from Barcelona's Egyptian Museum anchor *Del Néixer al Renéixer: Vivències a l’Antic Egipte*, which examines everyday life in ancient Egypt. The show continues at Centre d’Art in Escaldes-Engordany through 21 February.

In Andorra la Vella, *Pioners 1884-1954: L’Andorra dels Primers Fotògrafs* draws on nine photographic collections and eleven pioneers' works from national archives. Visitors can trace 70 years of the Principality's contemporary history through personal lenses. It remains at the government's exhibition hall until 7 March.

Also in the capital, *Ciutats a Escala Humana* at Bici Lab Andorra uses Playmobil figures and mapping projections to depict four cities prioritising alternatives to car dominance. The exhibition lasts until 28 February.

*El Nu i l’Objecte Emocional* at Centre Cultural La Llacuna delves into drawing techniques, focusing on interactions between the nude human form and everyday objects. It closes 27 February.

Naiara Escabias presents *Respirs de Canillo* at Cal Federico in Canillo, with the show open until 31 March.

Evenings bring talks at Hotel Roc Blanc in Escaldes-Engordany. At 19:30, *El Que Penses... Et Crea* discusses harnessing the mind for intentional change, while *LEINN: Emprèn, Lidera i Innova Mentres Viategies pel Món* outlines a university degree blending experiential learning, teamwork and global entrepreneurship.

Literary fans can join *Prosa de Combat* at 19:00 in Llibreria La Trenca, Andorra la Vella, where speakers including Àlvar Valls, Cerni Escalé and Júlia Ojeda unpack texts by Manuel de Pedrolo.

Festivals honour Sant Antoni with events in Canillo and Encamp. In Canillo, the Vianda de Sant Antoni distribution follows a 13:00 blessing of animals at Plaça del Telecabina, after market stalls open at Encants de Sant Antoni from 13:00. Encamp hosts its Escudella de Sant Antoni and Encants in Plaça de Sant Miquel.
