30th Anniversary Celebration of MACBA: 'MURMURIS'

In November, MACBA celebrates its 30th anniversary with the 'MURMURIS' program, presenting a series of speculative actions in live arts, music, and performance. Rather than focusing on the museum's official history, this celebration emphasizes the artistic scene that envisioned the museum's creation in 1995. The program invites reflection on the constitutive power of rumor—an often trivial yet vital means of sharing cultural experiences and references within any community. These whispers imbue mystery into the narratives surrounding lost artists, stolen artworks, unreleased albums, and censored films. The poetics of murmuring challenge the solemnity of the museum, evoking lightness and imagination instead of reverence for a monolithic past. Throughout the year, 'MURMURIS' will feature live proposals influenced by the power of whispers and legends from the local artistic scene, revisiting historical actions and works that had near-legendary status in local culture.
