The Center d'Art l'Estació will host, from Friday, the exhibition of the artist Pepa Espasa Pastor (Dénia, 1953) "A Cant a l'Esperança". It is a tribute exposure to an Afghan poet named Nadia Anjuma, died in November 2005 as a result of blows to the head by her husband for the "crime" of publishing a book of poems. And, by extension, it is dedicated to "All women who suffer abuse, all those who have died or been punished for claiming a more just and dignified life". Pepa Espasa believes it is very important the visibility of the problem of violence against women "And artistic awareness can be an active way of education, mobilization and denunciation". With "A Cant a l'Esperança" I would want "People, for a moment, aware of this issue.

The works presented in Pepa Espasa "A Cant a l'Esperança" They are the fruit of three years of meditation, as the author takes us. On the conceptualization of this proposal and how it has carried out, Pepa Espasa has said that "It is a project that has gone alone, because it has wowed everyone with whom I shared it and I could have your interest and collaboration". But four pieces that have been exhibited in other rooms, all the works in this exhibition are designed thinking on the subject of battered women. The works, created with poor materials, fragile "Because they want to suggest the fragility of women facing a violent world", They have been made with various techniques.
