Exhibition "Venerated and Feared"

Description

Come discover feminine power over 5,000 years at CaixaForum
From May 8 to August 31, 2025, CaixaForum hosts an exhibition highlighting the many facets of feminine power.

A true journey through 5,000 years of history, exploring how goddesses, spirits, demons, and saints have influenced and continue to influence culture, beliefs, and daily life.

From the Hindu deity Shakti to Oshun, the fertility orisha in Nigeria's Yoruba culture, the exhibition features an impressive selection of 154 pieces from the British Museum, including sculptures, sacred objects, and works of art spanning from the ancient world to the present day.

And themes? They will be covered a multitude; from wisdom and passion to war and justice, with a focus on femininity.

For even more excitement, there are tons of activities, talks, and performances throughout the month of June. Check out:
