Spun by many, woven for all
Bob Pop knew from the start that this issue of TRAMA would be a choral piece. A text with multiple voices and a score marked by the rhythm of the looms and the emotions of the people who bring Teixidors to life.
On 20 March 2025, the writer gathered all the artisans who transform wool, linen and silk into beautiful textiles together in the workshop. There, they shared poems, dreams, and experiences. That open-hearted conversation spun the threads that were woven into the TRAMA you now hold in your hands.
“When I visited Teixidors, I discovered that textile factories don’t sound metallic or emit a deafening noise, that the weaving process isn’t robotic. The voice of a loom is a constant whisper interrupted at intervals by dry wooden knocks.”
Our publication
Each edition is an experiment. An unexpected journey told through multiple languages: photography, literature, architecture, illustration, music, and more.
Everything changes. Everything is rethought. Only one thing remains: the fierce curiosity that drives us.
Spun by many, woven for all
In this edition, the critical and sensitive perspective of Bob Pop has shaped a choral and poetic issue, led by the voices of those who make Teixidors possible every day

And you all open your eyes,
sharp needles, you all say connection,

work, colour, breakages, weave, embroider”“Here, you hear thread and wool. Family, future,

BOB POP: A BRILLIANT MIND BETWEEN STORIES AND SCREENS
Supermarket cashier, gossip and cultural columnist, chief executive of a multinational company, blogger, TV critic, television and theatre director, screenwriter, actor, voyeur, intellectual showman and, at one time, a fake self-employed worker. But until Belén Gopegui told him he was a writer, he didn’t believe it. Since then, he has published a novel, Mansos (Caballo de Troya, 2010, and Alfaguara, 2021), two diaries, Días Ajenos (Somos Libros, 2017) and Días Simétricos (Alfaguara, 2023), three essays Cuando haces Bob (Temas de Hoy, 2014), Un miércoles de enero (Turner, 2018) and Como las grecas (Debate, 2024).
A few years ago, he co-directed Late Motiv with Andreu Buenafuente, and appeared on El Objetivo with Ana Pastor. He also created and co-directed the HBO series Maricón Perdido which won the 2021 Ondas Award for Best Comedy and the 2021 GLAAD Award for Best Spanish-Language Series. He currently collaborates on Hoy por Hoy with Angels Barceló on Cadena SER and on 59 Segundos with Gemma Nierga on TVE. He is also deputy director of La Marea and is happily banned from El Hormiguero with Pablo Motos.
He debuted as a playwright with his monologue Los días ajenos de Bob Pop (The Distant Days of Bob Pop), which toured theatres in Spain from the pre-pandemic to the post-pandemic and, in 2023, won an award in the first edition of the Talía Awards for the Performing Arts. It seems he has taken a liking to theatre because he premiered another play in 2024, Hablar no sirve. De nada (Talking Is Utterly Useless), which is currently on tour. He has just published his second book of poetry, De cuerpo presente (La uña rota, 2025).
