Exhibition "The birds sang despite the cold" at the Catalunya campus CRAI
From to
The URV's Art Classroom, in its programming, has invited the artist Ro Caminal to exhibit his work at the Catalunya campus CRAI. The exhibition, under the name "The birds sang despite the cold", can be visited from June 9 to 30.
The work, in audiovisual format, presents "a vindication of the oral story as a means to preserve the history of those whom official history has forgotten. An exercise in the construction and preservation of popular memory. Personal memories about the cultivation of olives, as a starting point to reconstruct, through daily micro stories, the life of rural Catalonia after the war. A juxtaposition of temporalities: the current, agitated and represented by the voice, and the past, rested and represented by images".
The project was carried out for Cal Cego, with the collaboration of the elderly people of La Juncosa del Montmell (Tarragona). Although it is a contextual project, it is representative, by extension, of so many other places of the rural Catalonia.
