The exhibition Pleas of Resistance traverses more than twenty-five years of practice by the artist Carlos Motta, who consistently engages with the body and sexual dissidence as a terrain of experimentation and political contestation.
His early explorations of photographic self-portraiture are shown alongside his most recent performances and video installations. The exhibition explores the magnitude of Motta’s artistic research and its implacable rigor in relation to the archive, interrogating its violence, its silencing and its desires. Motta’s work challenges the imposition of Eurocentric epistemologies – from the time of the conquest and colonial period in the Americas to the present day – and considers the legacy of religion as a perpetrator and disturbing vehicle of coloniality.

For children&#39;s tickets, you need to find the tool staff in Room C on the right side of the entrance, show the adult&#39;s e-ticket, and the staff will print out a child&#39;s e-ticket for you (Figure 1)

For Gaud&iacute;&#39;s sake, it&#39;s worth a visit. Other than that, it&#39;s probably not cost-effective because the place is very small and there are a lot of people. You can walk through the museum in one turn. The things inside are very expensive. I can only say that since you are here, you have to go and see it, just like the Sagrada Familia.

Casa Batlló

Annie长翅膀的喵

Casa Batll&oacute; is one of Gaud&iacute;&#39;s masterpieces. Its facade features a colorful mosaic tile mosaic, with wavy curves symbolizing the vitality of the ocean. The scaly rooftop arches and cross-shaped spire symbolize the dragon&#39;s spine.
The design seamlessly blends color and curves, creating a sense of entering a fantasy kingdom.
The house isn&#39;t very large, with only a few rooms on each floor and narrow staircases. However, it&#39;s quite beautiful.

La Pedrera – Casa Milà

Anonymous user

The black iron railing patterns and the top floor of the facade are the highlights. Compared with Casa Mil&agrave; and Sagrada Familia, Casa Mil&agrave; is a bit plain. It is best to visit Mil&agrave; first among the three treasures of Gaud&iacute;, then Casa Mil&agrave;, and Sagrada Familia. You will feel that the experience is getting more and more exciting and shocking.

Looking at Picasso&#39;s works again, I suddenly understood. The primitive, bold and strong things deeply attracted me and stimulated my sensory nerves! Picasso used various painting methods to express his own emotions casually. Basically, it was not purely aesthetic, but rational and abstract. He reconstructed and combined objects to bring people newer and deeper feelings!
