The exhibition "Beyond the Bar" provides a multi-dimensional perspective for the public to observe Spanish society and culture. Alvarasin is committed to protecting traditions and norms from a contemporary perspective. Through various artistic creations such as video works, performances, installations, paintings, photography and handicrafts, Alvarasin has established a critical dialogue between social commitment and exquisite formal aesthetics, condemned inequality, prejudice and dualism, and integrated humor, emotion, color vitality and beauty.
Artists take popular culture as the starting point, defend modernity, and understand it as freedom of thought and abandon social, gender or religious prejudice. For this reason, she examines the tradition and liberates it from the rituals and cliches established in the old era for political and historical reasons.
