At Axel, we’re all about celebrating the voices that shake things up — the kind of art that gets under your skin and stays there.
That’s why we’re teaming up with one of the most powerful queer exhibitions of the year in Barcelona:
Carlos Motta. Pledges of Resistance, now showing at MACBA.
And from July 15 to 30, you get 50% off your ticket with the code AXELMACBA.
No need to stay with us — just show up ready to see the world through a different lens.
Bodies, desire and politics.
It’s the first major European survey of Colombian artist and activist Carlos Motta, whose work has been queering up the art world for over two decades.
Through video, photography, installation and performance, the exhibition takes on:
• The historic persecution of queer and dissident bodies
• HIV as lived experience and political force
• Colonial Christianity and its legacy
• Non-binary and interspecies identities
It’s bold, raw, unapologetic — and yeah, it hits deep.
Why go?
Because queerness isn’t just about nightlife.
Because some stories demand space.
Because sometimes, resistance looks a lot like love.
At Axel, we stand with art that dares, that bites, that burns.
