Exhibition of Catalan Mythology

Delve into the rich tapestry of Catalan mythology through our engaging exhibition. Catalonia boasts a treasure trove of tales and characters that have often been overshadowed by more dominant mythologies like Norse and Celtic lore. However, contemporary authors of fantasy are increasingly finding inspiration in these traditional stories, creating new narratives that breathe life into this cultural heritage. The exhibition, a central feature of the fifth edition of Festival 42, showcases a selection of the most beloved figures from Catalan folklore, connecting them to a broader literary context. Visitors will encounter captivating artwork by Laia Baldevey, who masterfully depicts these mythological stories. The display includes elements from the Catalan bestiary, complemented by contributions from popular cultural entities, demonstrating the vibrant and diverse nature of Catalan identity and imagination.
