Exposició "No tot el que es diu troba qui ho vol escoltar; no tot el que troba qui ho vol escoltar es diu en el moment oportú"

Sara Ouhaddou's work interprets the oblivion of Al-Andalus as a reflection of Europe's difficulties in integrating and recognizing the Arab heritage, both historical and contemporary. In the absence of written records about the Muslim community established in Girona in the 8th century, the installation recovers memory through objects. An aphorism attributed to Ali ibn Abi-Talib, carved into large wooden blocks with references to Kufic calligraphy, articulates the work. The calcined letters question stereotypes about the Muslim presence on the Iberian Peninsula. Furthermore, they serve as a support for reproductions of Al-Andalus objects preserved in the Girona comarques, made in black terracotta to highlight cultural exchanges and the continuity of an artisanal tradition rooted in the territory.
