It’s only a few days until the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza (Paseo del Prado, 8) opens the doors of its new immersive exhibition: Tabita Rezaire. Pumpkin Nebula. This is the artist’s first solo show in Spain and can be visited from October 8, 2024 to January 12, 2025.
In this new immersive exhibition, which has been developed together with the TBA21 Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary Foundation, the public will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in three immersive and sensorial installations that Rezaire has created this year: Omo Elu, Des/astres and OMI: Yemoja Temple.
Both in them and in her work in general, the artist “explores the intersections between technology, art, spirituality, decolonization and healing” through “video, the construction of immersive spaces and performance,” the museum explains.
In addition to technology, her work is also deeply marked by the recovery of ancestral knowledge and practices where indigenous, African and non-Western knowledge are fused as “tools for resistance, emancipation and the reconstruction of identities and communities”.
Free activities at the Thyssen’s immersive exhibition
Parallel to the exhibition, the museum will host a series of free activities related to the exhibition such as talks, meetings, workshops and thematic guided tours.
Some of them are especially designed for children, such as the Create your own constellation workshop, which will take place once a month at the Real Observatorio de Madrid.
