"The disarmed eye" at Casal Solleric shifts its gaze to the perpetrators

The Casal Solleric opens the exhibition L'ull desarmat , curated by Nerea Ubieto, on April 28 at 7.30 pm. The group show deals with a delicate subject such as rape and proposes to take a look at our work through the works of Valeria Andrade, Shoja Azari, Arantxa Boyero, Núria Güell, Regina J. Galindo, Olalla Gómez Valdericeda, Cristina Lucas , David Martín and Marta Pujades.

The projects point to a well-established gear and point to where the responsibility should go. Through this 180-degree turn in the way we approach the culture of rape, the proposal shifts the gaze from the victims to the perpetrators and the system of thought that protects violence. Of all the systems that govern our minds (capitalism, neoliberalism, productivism), patriarchy is the oldest of all and is repeated in others. As the anthropologist Rita Laura Segato points out, it is not a religion or a culture - these are her disguises - but a political order that needs to be dismantled from its foundations. This is the aim of the exhibition: to strip the people - understood as a device for processing reality - of socially implanted windows, based on the hegemony of male, white, heterosexual and Western, which prevent them from seeing. by itself.

As the curator explains: "Our way of looking is never innocent; we understand and codify the world through an ankylosed belief system, built from the outside, but integrated as our own. The process of formation is complex, historical and Sibylline: It develops through small gestures and everyday behaviors that consolidate a way of understanding and approaching the world.Of all the systems that govern our minds (capitalism, neoliberalism, productivism), patriarchy is the oldest of As anthropologist Rita Laura Segato points out, it is not a religion or a culture - these are her disguises - but a political order that needs to be dismantled from its foundations. of the exhibition: to strip the eye - understood as a device for processing reality - of socially implanted filters.
