The museum's collections are the result of numerous expeditions around the world its objects are at the center, and behind, unpublished in the archive and among its documents are its images too.

For the first time this exhibition focuses exclusively on two selections of photographs belonging to the museum’s archive and to the Fundació Folch which portray women from different continents.

Halfway between theoretical-discursive reflection and artistic intervention, the exhibition presents the photographs in two different spheres, bringing them into dialogue, confronting them, emphasizing their dual anthropological and visual nature.

Thus, while the first area is made up of photographs and a small selection of items from the museum’s collections, the second is the artistic-photographic intervention The Memory of Spiders by Mercis Rossetti, conceived expressly for this project.
