      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://static1.ara.cat/clip/bf7bce13-7ec7-4945-87bc-f6acd5cac8fd_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg" /></p><p>Oriol Fontdevila i Subirana (Manresa, 1978) is the new director of the Bòlit Centre for Contemporary Art in Girona. A curator, professor, and art critic, he has combined the management of cultural centers throughout Catalonia, such as the Sala de Arte Joven (Young Art Gallery) of the Generalitat (Catalan Government), with a solid academic career at the university. This autumn, Fontdevila has taken over the <a href="https://en.ara.cat/culture/am-leaving-the-leadership-of-bolit-as-not-to-participate-in-the-structure-of-the-bureaucracy_128_5306942.html" target="_blank">Ingrid Guardiola's replacement</a> at the head of the three rooms of the Girona contemporary art museum, inaugurating the first exhibition <em>Woman, Life, Freedom </em>by the artist Tere Recarens from Arbúcies. The exhibition, which can be visited until February, respectfully addresses, with community involvement and a global perspective, the struggle of Iranian women for gender justice, featuring extremely powerful pieces, such as the painted carpet on the floor of the Rambla headquarters. It's a clear statement of intent that encapsulates the key principles of the new management: promoting local artists, education in democratic values, and alliances with social actors, all aimed at establishing Bòlit as a vibrant, accessible space committed to the realities of its surroundings.</p>]]></description>
