The exhibition“Digna Rabia”is based on a premise: this emotion is not always destructive; it can also be a creative force.
Since last March, the Miguel Urrutia Art Museum (MAMU) has been presenting this temporary collection of works and documents.
In total, there are more than 200 archaeological, bibliographic, and artistic objects from the Banco de la República. It also offers workshops, talks, and lectures to explore various related topics in greater depth.
“Digna Rabiaproposes an understanding of rage as a necessary individual emotion, as well as a collective force capable of questioning reality and driving social change,” explains the MAMU (📍 Calle 11 No. 4-21, La Candelaria).
Hours, tickets, and what to expect from Digna Rabia
The exhibition is located on the third floor of the museum, in the temporary exhibition section.
Plan your visit to the exhibition; here are the opening hours:
🗓️ Mondays and Wednesday through Saturday, from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
🗓️ Sundays, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
🎟️ Free admission.
The collection on display is so varied, ranging from paintings from two centuries ago to graffiti, including punk art and muralism.
And the exhibition is organized into three stages. The first reflects on rage as a vital and individual emotion that has been a driving force behind artistic expression.
In the second section, we move on to the collective stage, where the central emotion takes on a political and protest-oriented role.
The third part focuses on Colombia in the 1980s. The decade was marked by various youth movements that found a canvas in the public space.
But perhaps the most interesting part of Digna Rabia is the educational space where visitors can transform their own anger into strokes, to form a collective piece that reflects our feelings.
An exhibition 100% worth seeing.
