Arts speaks to art and speaks to us at this time of war and inhumanity.

The Museo Reina Sofía is Madrid’s centre for contemporary art featuring the changing trends in Spanish art since the beginning of the twentieth century. Featured artists include Dali, Picasso, Rivera.
In an exhibition titled ‘History Doesn’t Repeat Itself, but It Does Rhyme’ the Museum places work by Dumile Feni (Worcester, South Africa, 1942 – New York, 1991) titled ‘African Guernica’ (1967) alongside Picasso’s Guernica.
“The confrontation between Picasso's anti-war cry of anguish in the context of the Spanish Civil War and the South African drawing created thirty years later in the context of the brutal violence of South African apartheid invites critical reflection on the different issues raised by the exhibition”.
