UNCLASSIFIABLE: Nadia Hafid, a unique author

Next Sunday, October 20 , the second season of the INCLASSIFIABLES podcast, presented by Ricard Planas and David Escamilla, premieres its third episode on the 3CAT platform (Cataluya Ràdio). In this chapter, listeners will be able to delve into the creative universe of Nadia Hafid, one of the most unique and recognized voices in contemporary comics. From a stage as iconic as the National Art Museum of Catalonia (MNAC), Hafid and Pepe Serra, director of the museum, share a conversation that questions the limits of art and the place occupied by new forms of creation .

With a career that has brought her illustrations to the covers of media such as The New York Times, The New Yorker or The Economist, Nadia Hafid is not only a comic author, but a visual storyteller who transforms the everyday world into a deep reflection on the social and personal tensions of our time. For Hafid, comics, often perceived as a minor art form, are a powerful medium for addressing uncomfortable questions, unanswered questions, and exploring the complexity of the human condition.

In this unique context, Hafid and Serra discuss how the comic, a popular but often neglected artistic expression, finds a place today in art institutions like the MNAC. How can a museum with more than a thousand years of history connect with contemporary artistic languages? Are we facing a silent transformation at the MNAC, where comics are beginning to gain prominence? In this episode, we will reflect on how museums can be living and dynamic spaces, capable of generating new dialogues between the past and the present, with current creators at the forefront of this reinterpretation.
