«Tell me more…» at Ferlandina 26

On 9 June 2026 Carlotta Cat hosted «Tell me more…» at Ferlandina 26 – a gathering about the art of really listening. From 6:30 to 8 pm, for a 7 € entry, our space became a place to practise listening: paying genuine attention, not interrupting, and letting the other person tell a little more.

That's no coincidence: deep listening is at the heart of her work. She describes herself as moved by healing conversations, deep listening, the beauty of nature and caring humans.

What is graphic recording?

In graphic recording, an illustrator listens to a talk, workshop or debate and draws it in real time – key ideas, connections, quotes and characters on a large wall chart or screen. At the end, participants take home a visual summary that is easy to grasp and hard to forget.

Carlotta sums it up as deep listening and fast visualisation. Her background ranges from sustainability, systems thinking and strategy to collaborative leadership.

Art, nature and neighbourhood

Beyond conference rooms, Carlotta draws in nature and from home, writes about visual thinking with a purpose and has turned «The Work that Reconnects» into a graphic project. In Barcelona she also paints shop windows – recently bringing to life the windows of a new neighbourhood grocery.
