Opening of the exhibition by Clara Carvajal
The Displaced Hive
–
Capilla del Museo Esteban Vicente
La Colmena Desplazada is a tableau of 25 pieces carved in wood and stamped on paper that Clara Carvajal began during a stay in Weimar (Germany) in 2021. It addresses the aspirational need of man in his search for new destination and the overcrowding of these, and presents three of the ways in which this overcrowding occurs: the mass tourism of climbers on Mount Everest, the new space race between big tycoons’ private companies, and the waves of immigrants, who risk their lives trying to reach frontiers as desirable as they are inaccessible. Her altarpiece of narrative scenes showcases a link to other traditional human escape routes through religion and mythological iconography.
Madrid-born, with a degree in Fine Arts from Madrid’s Complutense University, Blake College and Heatherley School of Art (London) Carvajal is a multi-prize-winning artist who has given numerous national and international exhibitions. The exhibition will be opened by Ana Doldán, director-curator of the Esteban Vicente Museum, Javier Gila, president of the Aida ONG, and Sheila Cremaschi, director of Hay Festival Segovia and one of Forbes’ 75 Latin Women to Follow in 2024.
