DEEDS.CALENDAR: Coco Fusco. I Learned to Swim on Dry Land – Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona | until 11.01.2026
Born in New York in 1960, Coco Fusco has developed a multidisciplinary career that encompasses video art, performance, writing and education. With commitment and critical reflection, her work examines themes such as cultural identity, colonial power, the representation of the other and human rights, its harsh subject matter balanced with a poetic and evocative aesthetic. This characteristic equilibrium is represented in the exhibition that opens at MACBA on 22 May, entitled I Learned to Swim on Dry Land, the first sentence of the 1957 poetic micro-story Natación (Swimming) by the Cuban writer Virgilio Piñera.
