Contrapastoral Exhibition at MORERA Museum Critiques Catalonia's Rural Imagery
The MORERA - Museu d'Art Contemporani de Lleida is presenting the exhibition 'Contrapastoral - Arte y agricultura' until May 31, curated by Pau Minguet. This group show critically examines the traditionally idealized Catalan rural landscape through historical and contemporary works by over fifty artists. Organized into six thematic sections, the exhibition explores contradictions in agricultural life over the past 150 years, addressing topics like landscape transformation, human labor, industrialization, social conflicts, and rural-urban tensions. It aims to reveal how the countryside has been a site of resistance, innovation, and ongoing change.
