The National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), the Mexican Ministry of Culture, and the Government of Mexico City, through its Ministry of Culture, the institutions behind the Colegio de San Ildefonso, present “Exiliadas de España. Artistas en México”, an exhibition that celebrates and honours the women artists who arrived in Mexico after the Spanish Civil War. The exhibition offers a platform to highlight the artistic work of these exiled women or daughters of exiles, whose talent left a lasting mark on the shared cultural history between Spain and Mexico. Their works not only reflected the nostalgia of exile but also integrated elements of Mexican tradition, exploring themes such as identity, memory, and resistance. Through their art, they created cultural bridges that continue to resonate, transforming expressions and leaving an enduring artistic legacy.
