An exhibition in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, here in Madrid seeks to reevaluate the colonial history behind its works. Taking works from their own collection and diving into the context in which 50 different paintings were made: what is shown on the canvas, and what isn't.

The legacy of colonialism continues affecting our own modern society, and the exhibition "Colonial Memory in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Collections" analyzes the origins of this impact through art. On this broadcast we learn about the exhibition with Alba Campo Rosillo, art historian and one of the curators of the exhibition, which ends its run on October 20th.
