Exposició "Declaració d’amor a Lenin"

Taking the quote by Ernesto Che Guevara, 'Let me tell you, at the risk of seeming ridiculous, that the true revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love,' as its main premise, Juana Dolores undertakes a historical and theoretical journey of the concept of love in the revolutionary tradition, while simultaneously equating and comparing her class-based resentment and hatred with her sentimental resentment and hatred. She asks: what kind of love could exist under communism and how would it differ from love under capitalism? For now, in a context of capitalist crisis and, consequently, the rise of the far right and new fascisms, the artist confesses that she can only feel, think and work from the certainty that the only true love possible in this world of material and spiritual poverty is love for the revolution. And committing herself to the lucidity and passion that characterize those who are loved in return.
