The Triumph of the Wheat Ear: memory of the Spanish exile in Mexico

The Museo Kaluz and the University of Veracruz reconstruct, in four sections, the story of the Spanish Republicans who lost the Civil War and found a second homeland in Mexico. The Triumph of the Wheat Ear traces their exodus, their nostalgia and their adaptation, with Veracruz—port of arrival for ships like the Sinaia—as the emotional setting. The works, often in dark tones, portray those exiles in mid-flight and reconstruction. It is history told through art, with great humanity. With ArtGuide you follow the thread of a memory shared between two countries.
