Daniel G. Andújar's exhibition "Patente de corso" delves into the historical, political, and social meanings of navigating the Mediterranean, focusing on forgotten narratives of conflict, exile, and migration. The exhibition uses over three hundred images to confront violence and loss, aiming to restore dignity to those stripped of their rights and identities.
The exhibition "Daniel G. Andújar. Patente de corso" navigates the physical and symbolic Mediterranean seascapes, uncovering hidden histories of conflict, exile, and migration that lie beneath the more celebrated narratives of this cradle of civilizations. The artist, Daniel G. Andújar, presents a symbolic archive of over three hundred images that explore the violence and pain associated with expulsions, the capture of individuals, republican exiles, and contemporary migration flows. The project's title, "Patente de corso" (Letter of Marque), directly refers to historical state-sanctioned plunder of enemy ships, highlighting how remnants of this permissiveness persist in systematic abuses even after its abolition in 1896. Co-organized by Es Baluard Museu, the Subdirección General de Museos Estatales, and the National Museum of Anthropology, and curated by Imma Prieto as part of the _Visiones críticas: arte y antropología_ program, this exhibition serves as a space for reflection. It brings together silenced histories, past and present images, and resonant voices within the Mare Nostrum, prompting a critical look at collective memory and the human cost of historical and ongoing policies.
This exhibition is included with general admission to the museum's permanent exhibition. Visitors are directed to the museum's ticketing information for details on joint entry.
