Institut Ramon LLull

From 1 March to 6 July, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the Fundació Joan Miró, the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum (TMAM) hosts the exhibition Joan Miró. Poetry into Painting. This marks the first major retrospective of Joan Miró in Japan since the National Museums of Modern Art in Tokyo and Kyoto dedicated an exhibition to him in 1966, which led to the Catalan artist's first visit to Japan.

The exhibition Marta Palau. My Paths are Earthly, co-produced by the Tàpies Museum and the Mexican MUAC, will be on display at the Tàpies Museum from 27 February to 17 August. In the autumn it will travel to the country where the Catalan artist lived in exile, with the support of the IRL.

The Institut Ramon Llull is launching a new Grants for Research in Catalan Studies to support the doctoral training of international researchers whose work includes themes related to Catalan studies. Applications for these scholarships will be open from 3 March to 15 April, both dates inclusive.

The international edition of the Gaudí Cycle is becoming firmly established and continues to expand, reaching Washington and Rabat in 2025.https://academiadelcinema.cat/ca/

“Je suis très lasse, et je ne veux plus que l’oubli. Je m’en vais sans colère et sans haine, pareille à ceux-là qui n’ont point de parents ni d’amis. Je pars comme on retourne allégée et ravie de pardonner engin à l’amour et la vie. Sans hâte et sans effroi, je rentre dans la nuit, avec tout ce qui glisse, avec tout ce qui fuit”.La passion selon Renée Vivien, Maria-Mercè Marçal ...
