She will be exhibiting a total of 15 works, including paintings, sculptures and installations. 

Nia Bragg’s protest art is coming to Sitges to highlight her most personal side in her first solo exhibition, the outspoken “Totes som bruixes” [All Us Women Are Witches]. Following her first-prize award in the 27^th Pere Jou Sculpture Contest, Bragg is opening her exhibition this Friday at 6 p.m. at the Miramar-Centre Cultural. A total of 15 works, including paintings, sculptures and installations will be on display as part of the programme of cultural activities for La Pregonera 2024.

The exhibition, which is part of the award, delves into the constant abuse of women’s rights as a political tool, the role of social media in “witch hunts”, and the ongoing rule of the patriarchy. Highlighting the consequences of a pervasive patriarchal culture, Bragg explains that “no matter the century, the country or the circumstances, women with opinions, women who speak their minds, independent women who can’t be ‘controlled’ are repeatedly labelled as difficult, as ‘witches’ who must be silenced, made invisible”.

All the works were created this year specifically for this exhibition, which is on until 19 January 2025 on the ground floor of the Miramar-Centre Cultural.

Nia Bragg

Nia Bragg has been living Catalonia for 13 years, though she was born in Australia. When she was eight, she moved with her parents to their home country of Wales.  “I’ve been drawing and painting my whole life, but in the past three years, I’ve focused more seriously on exploring painting and my more creative side,” says Bragg, who also works as an English teacher and editor of English-language legal documents and fiction novels.

This is her first solo exhibition in Sitges, though she’s also participated in two group shows in Barcelona and one in Sitges last year for the Sanvisens Painting and Pere Jou Sculpture Contest.
