El Center d'Art L'Estacio houses, from last night, exposure "A cant a l'Esperança" Diane Pepa Espasa, who has brought to the capital of the region a work full of commitment and reflection on the situation of women who suffer abuse through the example of the Afghan poet Nadia Anjuma, murdered by her husband after publishing a book of poems.
Pepa Espasa thanked the attendance of all the opening. More than 50 people gathered at the museum to wrap the artist, who was excited in a very important night for her.
The councilman of Culture, Juan Sancho, also had words of praise for Espasa, highlighting the honor that means offering an exhibition of Dianense as well as the theme of his work.
The inauguration was completed with the interpretation of poems by Nadia Anjuma voice and piano.
The exhibition "Un Cant a l'Esperança" will be at the Center d'Art l'Estació until next November 28.
when I say that they put it in the language of the poet… I mean respect for the person… ..and of course I want them to translate it …… but into Valencian… .but also into Spanish… English… German… .etc …… Culture is essential to spread it and not just defend each other's language tooth and nail ... regardless of the true foundation of art, which is to reach all those who can feel something. And the word is the most beautiful thing that human beings have to communicate
I am sorry that it was not understood that behind all my comment to the artist there was this reasoning that I wanted to make… .and I say it more clearly… ..in Dènia there are many people who express ourselves in other languages and we want to have access to what feel and think others including artists
If they had to put the poem in Nadia's Language… who would read it? who would understand ???
I think the title of the exhibition… ..may be…. » a song of hope »… ..first to say that I have to imagine the title as well as the content of all the texts that swarm on the walls… .I have to say that what annoyed me the most was not being able to understand the poem of Nadia (I think she is not Valencian and should be put at least in her language)
With all this I want to say that we have little hope if in a Dènia where Valencian-speakers (I don't know what percentage they will be)… .. we self-discriminate among ourselves.
I think that when an artist creates… ..he looks for something… .and the most important thing is to get people their ideas… ..
I understand that as a visual artist …… I would not need to speak and my criticism would be left without content… .but I have to say that the work presented did not generate any "song of hope" for battered women… ..not even something that I expected ... to feel anger ... disgust for abuse ... to generate in my rejection of abuse ... ... I think that the good creative ideas of the author ... remain only in a new plastic ... interesting ... ... but without the content that says wanting to show… I don't see any «song of hope» ……
I hope I was not mistaken in the title of the exhibition in my internal translation.
