You Are in the Heart of Change: An Exhibition on Surrealism's Anti-fascist and Political Art Movement

This exhibition explores Surrealism as an international and politically engaged movement, examining its opposition to fascism and colonialism. It highlights the movement's global solidarity and its influence on various emancipation movements, presenting Surrealism not just as an artistic style but as a force for societal change.

The exhibition "You Are in the Heart of Change. Surrealism and Anti-fascism" re-evaluates Surrealism, presenting it as an international and politically conscious movement deeply intertwined with societal and revolutionary ideals. Rooted in art and literature, Surrealism aimed to revolutionize society and redefine life itself, as famously stated by André Breton: "Transform the world—' as Marx wishes—'change life' as Rimbaud demands—this is not too difficult a task for us." The movement actively opposed colonial projects, organized against fascists, and participated in the Spanish Civil War and the resistance during World War II, often facing persecution and being labeled as "degenerate." Their resistance was expressed through poetry, painting, photography, and collage, aiming to expose the flaws of Western civilization. The exhibition's narrative unfolds spatially, like a map, emphasizing the simultaneity of surrealist thought and action across diverse locations such as Prague, Coyoacán, Cairo, Marseille, and New York. It seeks to portray Surrealism as a profoundly engaged international force, challenging the perception of it as merely a style for depicting dreams and fantasies.
