The Community of Madrid has inaugurated the 'Modern Mythologies' exhibition at Sala Alcalá 31, a free showcase reviewing the artistic legacy of the Movida madrileña until October 18.

The exhibition brings together over a hundred pieces that analyze how the artistic creation of the eighties merged classical mythology with the new visual languages of the Transition. The tour includes various disciplines such as photography, painting, drawing, and performance.
The itinerary highlights the relationship between Ancient tales and the production of the era's authors, exploring how these artists transformed urban identity and turned the movement into a cultural myth. The show features a parallel program including guided tours, educational workshops, and meetings with the curator.
The venue has implemented accessibility measures for people with disabilities, including easy-to-read materials, magnetic loops, and sign language tours. Additionally, a percentage of spots in the scheduled activities has been reserved to facilitate participation for this group.
