Juno House and La Casa de Carlota present a collective exhibition that reflects on identity and memory through female art. The exhibition, open until 8 October, includes the artist Núria Figueras from Terrassa.
The exhibition 'I Live in the House That I Am' has been inaugurated at the Juno House venue in Barcelona, a space that champions female talent. The show, which can be visited until 8 October, brings together the works of five artists linked to La Casa de Carlota, an inclusive creative studio. Among them, the presence of Núria Figueras, born in Terrassa in 1991, stands out, whose painting technique combines rigorous control with a strong dose of intuition.
The First Home: The Body Itself
The title of the exhibition, 'I Live in the House That I Am', invites reflection on the idea that the first home we inhabit is our own body. The exhibition explores themes such as belonging, vulnerability, and strength from a female perspective. The works, ranging from painting to collage, offer an intimate look at the construction of identity.
Vanessa Reinón (Barcelona, 1977) is one of the most established artists within La Casa de Carlota. Her work is characterized by the intense use of color and the incorporation of cut-out letters from newspapers and magazines, creating compositions that oscillate between still life and landscape.
Meanwhile, Inge Nouws (Barcelona, 1965) is a multidisciplinary artist who explores techniques such as drawing, painting, and installation. Her work is closely linked to her personal experiences, adding a layer of authenticity to each piece.
Creative Diversity as a Core
The exhibition is part of the third edition of Beyond Art, an initiative by Juno House aimed at giving visibility to female talent in the cultural sphere. The show also includes Ester López (Barcelona, 1967), whose drawings and paintings create universes populated by characters emerging from her inner imagination, connecting with Art Brut and evoking the energy of artists like Jean Dubuffet or Basquiat.
Completing the group is Odile Fernández (Madrid, 1972), who was part of La Casa de Carlota for ten years and currently works at Debajo del Sombrero, a project that promotes the talent of people with intellectual disabilities. In addition to painting, Fernández writes poetry and illustrates her own books, showcasing her creative versatility.
The exhibition not only offers an artistic reflection but also highlights the importance of inclusive spaces like La Casa de Carlota, a studio that integrates people with intellectual disabilities into the creative process. This collaboration between Juno House and La Casa de Carlota reinforces both entities' commitment to diversity and gender equality in art.
An Event for Art Lovers in Barcelona
The exhibition can be visited for free at the Juno House venue, located in the centre of Barcelona. Interested visitors can enjoy the works until 8 October, open from Tuesday to Saturday. The exhibition is a unique opportunity to discover the work of these five artists and reflect on female identity from a contemporary perspective.
For residents of Terrassa, the presence of Núria Figueras adds a local connection to the exhibition. The artist from Terrassa, who has developed her career in Barcelona, demonstrates that local talent has a place in metropolitan projects. Undoubtedly, a perfect excuse to head to the capital and be surprised by emerging art.
The exhibition 'I Live in the House That I Am' is, ultimately, a celebration of creative diversity and the ability of art to transform our perception of the world. An unmissable event for those seeking new perspectives on identity and memory.
