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.

Absolutely stunning! A must-visit. It&#39;s recommended to learn about the basic architecture and its history beforehand. If you don&#39;t get a Chinese explanation, ask the staff for a link at the entrance &ndash; the webpage has a Chinese explanation.

挺值得一去，更加适合父母带小孩去走走。公园有好几个入口，最好用最大的入口进去。我们从一个住家小巷的入口进去，路超斜的幸好走到一半有电扶梯剃😆

The design of the genius Gaudi is really eye-catching. It feels like being in the ocean world. The details are amazing. The visit is well arranged and interesting. The 3D effect of the visit pad is great. It is definitely worth a visit.

La Pedrera – Casa Milà

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!
