The exhibition wants to deploy an aesthetic and ideological reflection on the art of Spanish exile as a whole, addressing the nature of the changes experienced by the visual languages that exiled artists carried as baggage when they left Spain.
The chronological boundary (1939-1960: the end of the civil war and start of the modernization of peninsular art) tries to transfer the aesthetic content of the exhibit over a period that is still perceived intensely, that overlap between the memory of origin, which is gradually fading, and the fertilizing power of new contexts.
A six-screen installation surrounds the visitor with images of war, bombings, flight and refugee camps, immersing him and allowing him to feel the flight into exile.
