This exhibition features Cristina Lucas’s video work 'La liberté raisonnée', which offers a modern reinterpretation of Delacroix’s iconic painting 'Liberty Leading the People'. The artist reflects on universal values and the symbolic representation of women, exploring the disconnect between historical symbolism and social reality.
In 'La liberté raisonnée', artist Cristina Lucas explores the intersection of historical symbolism and contemporary social issues. By creating a video sequence that acts as a continuation of Eugène Delacroix’s 1830 painting 'Liberty Leading the People', Lucas challenges the viewer to look beyond the symbolic representation of ideals such as Freedom, Justice, and Hope, which have historically been personified by the female figure. The work critically examines how these historical tropes clash with the realities of modern society. Through a narrative where the central female figure faces a tragic fate, Lucas invites audiences to reflect on the nature of these symbols and the social context of the original painting. The exhibition is part of the broader artistic practice of Cristina Lucas, who uses video, photography, and installation to address themes of feminism and social justice through a lens of critical reflection.
Admission to the museum is free for all visitors. The museum is open to the public from Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 to 20:00.
