Deptford
Federico García Lorca was assassinated by fascists in the early days of the Spanish Civil War in 1936, a conflict that culminated with the ascension of dictator Francisco Franco into power in 1939. A couple of months before his death, Lorca finished the manuscript of The House of Bernarda Alba (1936), which, alongside Blood Wedding (1932) and Yerma (1934), constitute what critics call the ‘Rural Trilogy’, a group of plays set in his native Andalusia – and, in the case of the former, exclusively within the confines of a house. In the region, Spain’s southernmost autonomous community, some of the country’s most exquisite coastlines coexist with its highest, snowy mountains, though largely the landscape is characterised by sand, rocks, and resilient vegetation. We borrow both the title and the setting of 'The House of Bernarda Alba' in this exhibition, which presents the work of Elena Njoabuzia Onwochei-Garcia in dialogue with that of Sam Llewellyn-Jones.
