Let’s visit the exhibitions The Third Twist by Anna Moreno, and Prisoners of Love by Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme | Activity
We accompany Hiuwai Chu, head of exhibitions at MACBA, on an introductory visit to give us context and a shared frame of reference for the two exhibitions.
Firstly, we’ll be visiting The Third Twist by Anna Moreno, a project that connects utopian architecture, speculative imagination and temporalityand counterposes the ideal of modernity with its legacy and contradictions. Secondly, we’ll see the installation by Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme Prisoners of Love: Until the Sun of Freedomwhich explores collective memory through an immersive device in which sound and song express presences, feelings and forms of resistance.
The aim is to offer a clear, shared introduction to both projects. Understanding what each of them sets out from, what they propose and how they are structured. On this basis, MACBA Friends can come back to them whenever you like and take as much time as you need, with a prior frame of reference and taking advantage of your unlimited entrance to the museum.

MACBA Thirty
We celebrate Year Thirty of an infinite MACBA that projects the future as a space for revision and possibility: of taking up what was left unfinished, updating what needs it and projecting anew everything that can still be transformed.
