In less than ten days, the exhibition Al hilo de Celestina. Tipo, mito, mujer will open at the Museo La Celestina (La Puebla de Montalbán, SPAIN). The inauguration event will take place on the 29th of June 2024 at 20:00 at the museum, with the participation of the local authorities and the curators Amaranta Saguar García (Universidad Complutense), María Bastianes (Universidad Complutense) and Rachel Schmidt (University of Calgary). It will run until the 29th of September, with some extra activities that I will be announcing via this blog.
This exhibition reviews the iconographic and visual history of Celestina, from its roots in Antiquity to the present day. Using illustrative, pictorial, mise-en-scène, and audiovisual materials, it shows how Celestina freed herself from the clichéd representation of elderly female characters and became a chameleon capable of reflecting, adapting to, and connecting with the concerns of each moment and audience. And this despite the added obstacles of being an older, marginal and probably queer woman.
