Matthew Galloway in Provincia 53. Arte, territorio y descolonización del Sáhara
Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León, Leon, Spain
16 September 2017 —
04 February 2018
Province 53. Art, territory and decolonisation of the Sahara is an exhibition on the so-called Western Sahara that reflects on its conflict from an aesthetic, educational and political sense of the concept of territory.
Province 53 is the first exhibition held in a Spanish museum of visual arts to look at contemporary culture of Western Sahara. Based on this leitmotiv, the exhibition proposes a subjective narrative for its "colonial" past and "global" present, which aims to critique the mechanisms of control, power and repression that have taken place in this geographical area since the end of the 19th century to the present time.
