Pere Calders

The Barcelona Centre of Contemporary Culture shares the rich work of Catalan writer Pere Calders in this exhaustive literary exhibition. Beginning with his early years as an activist-writer during the Spanish Civil War, the show details Calders' life through photos, films and extensive written material. The author spent 23 years in exile in Mexico, where he formed part of a creative community of fellow Spanish refugees, before returning to Barcelona in 1962. One of the few Catalan writers to be widely translated, Calder's literary universe forms a complex and profoundly imaginative mirror of human reality.
