exposicio-si-visc-no-visc-2026-09-28

This exhibition brings us closer to the figure of Clementina Arderiu and the central themes of her work, reviewing how her poetry has been read and celebrating its verses with vitality, freed from the prejudices that have cast a shadow over them: "The sky is gold / and, ardent, the heart / wants no bridle". Curated by Maria Callís, the exhibition explores the life and work of Arderiu: on one hand, the happy contentment with "my life as a woman like the others"; on the other, the awareness of being a poet and, therefore, the possessor of a singular voice with which she maintains a relationship that is not always happy and peaceful: "If I cannot get out of myself / let me tell you follies". With biographical notes that place Arderiu in the artistic environment of the time, and paying special attention to the interesting and nuanced relationship that the poetic voice maintains with singing, the exhibition delves into the duality that crosses the life, work and doubtful speech of the poet: "If I live I do not live. / The love of risk, / how it delighted me! / I did not seek it; / they gave it to me / when I did not want it". Activity included within the events of the commemoration Any Clementina Arderiu. More information on the website of the Girona City Council.
