Mir\u00f3 and the United States \u2014 Joan Mir\u00f3 Foundation (Montju\u00efc)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why go:<\/strong> on the one hand, the exhibition explores Mir\u00f3\u2019s relationship with the USA; on the other, it engages with American abstraction (Rothko, Motherwell, Krasner, Frankenthaler). As a result<\/strong>, it\u2019s perfect for connecting modernity and tradition without losing the artist\u2019s material and gestural poetics. Moreover<\/strong>, it\u2019s open in December and until February 22, 2026<\/strong>.
Pintor\u00e0mica Tip:<\/strong> if Mir\u00f3\u2019s palette inspires you, come by afterwards to glaze abstract motifs<\/strong> on a cup or plate: flat colors with continuous line details work great for beginners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Projecting a Black Planet: Art and Culture of Pan-Africa \u2014 MACBA (El Raval)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why go:<\/strong> to begin with<\/strong>, it\u2019s an immersion in the collaborative spirit of Pan-Africanism; likewise<\/strong>, it brings together over 500 objects and artworks spanning Africa, Europe, and America. Therefore<\/strong>, it combines powerful curatorship and historical insight with a local focus.
Pintor\u00e0mica Tip:<\/strong> take photos of textile patterns<\/strong> you see in the exhibit and translate them into ceramic prints<\/strong> using a sponge or flat brush; they look spectacular on bowls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

World Press Photo 2025 \u2014 CCCB (el Raval)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why go:<\/strong> broadly speaking<\/strong>, it\u2019s the main annual event for photojournalism, with conflicts, the environment, and migration told through award-winning images. Likewise<\/strong>, there are guided tours<\/strong> and discounts.
Pintor\u00e0mica Tip:<\/strong> after such an intense exhibition, we suggest a small piece<\/strong> with a minimal stroke<\/strong> to slow down while still creating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ink Against Hitler \u2014 MNAC (Montju\u00efc)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why go: rediscover Catalan caricaturist Mario Armengol and his Allied propaganda during World War II; a historical drawing exhibition with strong visual impact.\nPintor\u00e0mica Tip: try black line over light glazes to replicate the bold effect of caricature on ceramics (high contrast, clear message).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voices of the Pacific. Innovation and Tradition \u2014 CaixaForum (la Font de la Guatlla)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why go:<\/strong> a journey through Oceanian art with pieces from the British Museum<\/strong> and national collections; seven thematic sections (weavers, warriors, travelers\u2026) and a coconut fiber armor<\/strong> that will leave you mesmerized.
Pintor\u00e0mica Tip:<\/strong> explore textures<\/strong> using combs and glaze volumes to evoke fibers, basketry, and ritual objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immersive exhibitions and experiences for everyone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
