The exhibit on Catalan mythology uncovers a treasure trove of narratives and characters that have often been overlooked over the years, overshadowed by other mythologies like Nordic or Celtic ones. It highlights how contemporary fantasy authors are rediscovering these rich oral traditions, drawing inspiration from Catalonia’s folklore to create new stories. This central exhibit of the fifth edition of Festival 42 features a selection of some of the most iconic and deeply rooted characters within Catalan folklore, alongside visual interpretations by Laia Baldevey, an expert in mythological representation. From tales that mirror American superhero narratives to the legendary creature Serpent, this collection also includes a bestiary of Catalan myths, showcasing the depth and variety of this cultural heritage with contributions from popular cultural organizations.
