The exhibition Destierro (Banishment) at Montjuïc Castle

Destierro is an exhibition of artworks by Cecilia Zabaleta that “invites to travel through an existential and geographical journey of a migrant memory born of forced displacement and subsequent republican exile in 1939”. It will be showcased at the Montjuïc Castle in Barcelona from September 15 to November 28.

Under the curatorship of Roberto Fuertes, Zabaleta proposes an itinerary through the experiences of her vital itinerary, “expressively using a suggestive language based on creations in oil paint and mixed technique with documentary fragments, interlined with epigraphs by the author herself. Proposal that is reflected in compositions of fractured landscapes, allegory of cracked objects, and cartographic gestures”.
