We wish you a happy summer and we look forward to seeing you from August 28th with the last days of the exhibition De la materia del cuerpo, by Guillem Coma.

Colita among the artists presented at the XIII Biennial of Photography Xavier Miserachs, that will take place from August 4, 2024 to October 13, 2024.

“Sharing the limelight, Colita will occupy the Museu del Suro with a set of iconic and some unpublished images, in whose selection he participated before his death last December. It will be his first exhibition in Catalonia after his death. Para un roto y para un descosido -the title is his own- will travel through the Barcelona of the Transition, that of the gypsies, flamenco, cinema or the nova cançó, for which he made album covers, such as Mediterráneo by Serrat, whom he portrayed in 1971 in a bathing suit in Llofriu”.1

Entitled ‘Precursoras: feminisms, camera in hand and archive on shoulder’, the exhibition curated by Nicole Fernández Ferrer and Nataša Petrešin-Bachelez, incorporates some Catalan artists including Pilar Aymerich and Fina Miralles.

Presented in Paris from September to December 2023 at the Cité internationale des arts, and now adapted by the Filmoteca de Catalunya, the exhibition will be on view in Barcelona from July 11 to November 17.

With this, the Filmoteca de Catalunya, proposes in an exhibition the cultural and visual history of feminism in France in the 1970s and 1980s through the work and influence of three filmmakers, Delphine Seyrig, Carole Roussopoulos and Ioana Wieder, creators of the collective Les Insoumuses. The videos of Les Insoumuses, along with the other filmmakers and related collectives, offer a cartography of the struggles of the time: from abortion rights and sexual freedom to the Vietnam War or anti-psychiatry, in a resolutely international framework, and propose a dialogue between generations of feminist video-makers and artists that goes beyond the French scene.
