"I learned to swim on dry Land" is an exhibition by the artist and essayist Coco Fusco, which explores the confrontation between art and power in post-revolutionary Cuba.

With unpublished documentation and references to the U.S. and its policies, Fusco offers a reflection on language, censorship, and cultural resistance.

This exhibition offers a multifaceted, open-to-interpretation account of the key events that motivated the founding of the Center for Contemporary Art Studies (CEAC). The exhibition will explore the circumstances and people who drove modernism in Catalonia, emphasizing the figure of Joan Prats, who was instrumental in the creation of the Fundació Joan Miró-CEAC. It will also reflect on the impact of the Civil War and the Franco regime, and the desire to recover the ideals of the modern movement of the 1920s and 1930s. The exhibition will address key moments in the history of the Fundació, such as the 75th anniversary of Joan Miró, the exhibitions dedicated to the artist in Barcelona in 1968 and 1969, and the construction of the building designed by Sert. Following this, a section will be dedicated to the early years of the CEAC's operation until Miró's death in 1983. The tour will continue with the transformation of the Foundation from the 1980s onwards, a period in which key elements include the expansion of the building and the changes brought about by Olympic Barcelona. Finally, the exhibition will culminate with a tribute to the artists who have been part of the Foundation's recent history, highlighting their creative processes.

The exhibition of the Catalan artist Tinta against Hitler in Barcelona is the presentation of the discovery of the only Catalan and Spanish artist who worked massively for British and Allied propaganda during the Second World War. From 1941 to 1945, Mario Armengol Torrella (San Juan de la Abadesses, 1909 – Nottingham, 1995) drew about two thousand cartoons or cartoons in the service of the British Ministry of Information against the Third Reich and the Axis to publish them in newspapers and magazines in London and New Zealand, New Zealand. The exhibition will present a selection of the originals preserved by the author and the family, which, together with the publications in which many of these cartoons will appear, will become one of the world’s largest collections of political satire of the most horrific conflict in history. It is a spectacular fresco, so far unknown, as Armengol’s illustrations are found alongside those of the UK’s largest and most influential cartoonistscartoonists, such as David Low, Giles and Illingworth. In them you can see almost all the fronts of the war and the most prominent figures of this brutal battle. In addition, this is a style that draws from the intense tradition of Catalan cartoonists and satirical publications from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In Armengol, this tradition crystallizes in a work of great artistic, versatile and modern quality, which goes beyond the style of the time, points to the current comics and continues to challenge us in the limits of humor in dramatic and brutal contexts.
