One more year the CCCB joins the celebration with an open evening to the exhibitions «Graphic Constellation. Young Women Authors of Avant-garde Comics» and «Sade. Freedom or evil», and a Poetry Slam. To visit the exhibitions, advance booking is required.
The Saturday before International Museum Day, held on 18 May, is the Night of Museums, an evening during which museums organize various activities for all publics and open their doors free of charge. The CCCB is taking part with a doors-open visit to its exhibitions and a poetry slam.
Free admission to the exhibiton "Graphic Constellation"
The exhibition presents the comic books and the diversity of languages, aesthetic registers and cultural references of nine creators who, with their use of colour, graphics, and stylistic and narrative experimentation, challenge the established comic-book form.Bàrbara Alca, Marta Cartu, Genie Espinosa, Ana Galvañ, Nadia Hafid, Conxita Herrero, María Medem, Miriampersand and Roberta Vázquez make up the constellation of creative universes that is this exhibition.
Free admission to the exhibiton "Sade"
Sade was a clandestine and censored writer who was imprisoned, but is now a classic of French literature. He was acclaimed as a revolutionary who supported freedom, whilst arousing scandal and outrage. The exhibition looks at the stereotypes associated with his name and explores the aesthetic, philosophical and political implications of his legacy. Sade challenges us to confront the most disturbing aspects of human nature.
Poetry Slam
To coincide with the Night of Museums, Poetry Slam Barcelona has programmed another session of “21st-century minstrels”, the spoken word poetry event that brings together winning slammers from previous competitions in a single slam. It features Adriana Bertrán, Iñaki Nazabal, Germán Chocero, Olza Olzeta, Carles Rosell, PablOwski, Paula González Vila and Crisal Rodríguez, and a special performance by Danez Smith. There will be a sign language interpreter service.
