Elisa De Stermich Di Valcrociata

Beautiful yet wounded, luminous yet with dark sides

From
15.10 20.11

Change of Scenary is the author’s own process of observation and analysis, a journey that begins with the rejection of her own image and passes through dissociation until it reaches the distortion of the self.

“Going home”

From
05.11 12.12

回家 (huí jiā), “going home”, is an ongoing photographic project begun in 2018 that investigates the construction of identity through autobiography, intimacy and the idea of home. Developed between the Basque Country and Madrid, it is structured around the domestic spaces where the author has lived, understood as settings of memory and transformation.

Arxiu anònimes — Marta Fàbregas Aragall

Marta Fàbregas Aragall

Scratching the surface. Making visible what had stayed stuck to silence.

From
18.11 19.12
Venue
Centre Cultural La Casa Elizalde
Sala Montserrat Roig

Arxiu anònimes (Anonymous Women’s Archive) starts from a critical review of a social imaginary built through the patriarchal gaze. Through archive photographs, transferred images, incomplete fragments and latent presences, Marta Fàbregas Aragall questions the way many anonymous women have been represented — or erased — over time.
