Exhibition 'Maya Deren. A Cadence of Images'

03/10/2025

At the Museu Etnològic i de Cultures del Món

The museum's headquarters on Moncada Street hosts this biographical exhibition dedicated to the filmmaker, writer, poet, dancer, ethnologist, and anthropologist Maya Deren (1917-1961), one of the key figures of the experimental and avant-garde cinema of the 20th century.

Maya Deren: A Cadence of Images presents her figure and work in a multidisciplinary way, using the languages of cinema, literature, dance, and spirituality, inseparable from her artwork.

The exhibition focuses on Maya Deren's cinema and her trips to Haiti between 1947 and 1955. She traveled there thanks to a Guggenheim scholarship that allowed her to film more than six thousand meters of negative that she never got to edit. Some of her finished films and unfinished projects will be on display, as well as some of her writings. You can see it until September 7.
