Exhibition summary

This exhibition explores migration and cultural contributions in Madrid, aiming to highlight the active presence of migrant, migrant-origin, and racialized individuals and groups in the city's cultural landscape. It features portraits of artistic and cultural collectives using art as a means of expression and work.

Curatorial context

Migración y Cultura. Un Madrid en la frontera de lo visible seeks to move beyond the perception of migration and racialized groups as passive cultural agents, instead reclaiming their significant presence within the cultural sphere. The project, initiated by YoSoyElOtro Asociación Cultural, features portraits of artists and cultural professionals in Madrid who are migrants, of migrant origin, or racialized. These individuals and organizations utilize art and culture as their primary means of expression and livelihood, believing in the collective power to foster creation and action, with migration and raciality serving as sources of strength and unique perspectives. This exhibition presents a suggested route, a map designed to generate many others—a living, situated archive that aims to put faces to a select group of initiatives often operating on the fringes of visibility. This iteration is an expanded version of a previous exhibition held in July 2021 titled “El Otrx. Arte, cultura y migración en la ciudad de Madrid,” which was also a collaboration with the National Museum of Anthropology. The exhibition is accompanied by a specially designed cultural program. It is located in the exterior of the museum.

Admission and ticket notes

The exhibition is located in the exterior of the museum and had an inauguration on June 20th. Specific ticketing details are not provided on this page, but general museum access information may be available elsewhere on the official website.
