"This exhibition has no aesthetic pretensions; it is History revisited through a range of individual stories that we hope can be inspiring."
– Juan Carlos Redondo and Aldones Nino.
Participation of Ayla Tavares
The exhibition includes a piece by Ayla Tavares, who was a resident artist at Collegium in 2022, and a video documenting her residency. Tavares focused on microhistories compared to grand History, reviving ancient pottery techniques.
