The exhibition Opera to a Black Venus, dedicated to the multidisciplinary artist Grada Kilomba (Lisbon, 1968), brings together a selection of installation works that is the most complete presentation of her work to date in Spain. Trained in clinical psychology and psychoanalysis at the Instituto Superior de Psicologia Aplicada (ISPA) in Lisbon, she worked at the Júlio de Matos Hospital with survivors of the war in Angola and Mozambique before completing her PhD in Philosophy at the Freie Universität in Berlin. Strongly influenced by the work of the revolutionary philosopher, writer and psychiatrist Frantz Fanon, Kilomba began to research and write about memory, trauma, race and gender to question the connections between power, knowledge and violence. With this solid academic foundation in clinical psychoanalysis and philosophy, as well as a long career as a researcher, the artist later expanded her interests on these issues through different formats, including performance, stage reading, video, photography and large-format sculptural and sound installations. Through these, the artist analyses the dominant systems of knowledge production and proposes a process of unlearning regarding Western epistemology with the intention of challenging the linearity of the historiography that in some way perpetuates the colonial economy.

团子的旅游日记

This moment I fell in love with Madrid, the sunset of Madrid accompanied by a rainbow, dyed the whole sky pink, no matter who, in this moment, will feel the beauty of the journey, love the city.

Leaving the Prado Museum in Madrid, I remembered a sentence that I must write in my short essay after the spring outing: I reluctantly went home. Here I feasted on Goya&#39;s feast, couldn&#39;t figure out the painting perspective of Vel&aacute;zquez&#39;s maidens, and felt the strength of Caravaggio&#39;s muscles when he was fighting. The museum has strict security checks and you can&#39;t bring food and drinks in. If you bring them, you can store them. The museum has a coffee and light meal restaurant.

Very unforgettable memories. There was no match at the stadium that day, but seeing such a successful club founded in 1902, the respect and shock that came from it was still very strong. Worth a visit

how to say! If you can accept this culture, you must come, if you feel too cruel, don&#39;t look at it, don&#39;t find yourself unhappy! Really bloody, very cruel, butt sitting pain! There is a rented cushion at the door, 3 euros a game

There are more people than in Praha, mainly modern and contemporary art, you can see a lot of Cubism and Surrealism art, Guernica is very shocking, because there are not many people, so the experience is particularly good. Highly recommended.
