Altres mons. Un viatge extraordinari pels mons imaginaris de la literatura catalana

An exhibition bringing together imaginary worlds born in Catalan literature, from Canigó by Jacint Verdaguer to contemporary works, presented through original illustrations. It is the central exhibition of the sixth edition of the Festival 42.

The exhibition explores the non-realistic worlds that Catalan literature has invented to set its stories, created by authors of fantasy genres over more than a century. Among the works on display are Canigó, by Jacint Verdaguer; L'illa de les tres taronges, by Joan Fuster; La pell freda, by Albert Sánchez Piñol; Negorith, by Ivan Ledesma; and Stella Signata, by Ricard Efa.

The route is organised into twelve types of fantastic worlds and brings classic works into dialogue with contemporary ones, showing how these universes have changed and influenced one another. Original illustrations by Eduard Jounou, Arnau Vendrell, Lucía García, Raúl Grabau, Carolina Veciana and Maria Sagrera offer a fresh look at these literary landscapes.

The exhibition is curated by Laia Rubio and Javi Fernández and is produced in collaboration with Biblioteques de Barcelona and the Institució de les Lletres Catalanes. It is a proposal aimed at those curious about fantasy fiction and Catalan literature, in an exhibition space in the city.
