The Sagrada Família Library - Josep M. Ainaud de Lasarte specializes in science, with a focus on the environment. It has the BiblioLab Ciència, a space dedicated to science, which works to be one of the leading scientific dissemination spaces in the city. It has also created a center of interest in scientific illustration that aims to bring science closer through illustration and includes documents from various areas of scientific knowledge and other topics, such as field guides, geography, cartography or scientific expeditions. It also has documents that review the figure of illustrators and scientists, such as Eugeni Sierra, Pius Font i Quer or Jordi Sabater Pi. On the other hand, since its inception it has had a special collection on LGTBIAQ+.

As part of the + Biennial of City and Science, a conversation is proposed on the capacity of the categories of scientific thought to narrate and think about reality, how does language reproduce these categories? What should we change and why? What tools do we have to drive this change?
