Books have margins for a reason. That’s where the reader lives — in the scribbled notes, the underlined passages, the questions that don’t fit inside the text.

Margins & Museums (@marginsandmuseums) is a book club built around a simple idea: pair a great book with an art exhibition happening here in Barcelona. Read the book. Visit the show. Then gather to talk about both.

Next pairing:

Book: Natural Beauty by Ling Ling Huang
Exhibition: The Cult of Beauty at CCCB

What happens when beauty becomes something we chase, consume, and perform?

For our second pairing, we’ll explore the intersection of art and literature through a novel and an exhibition that invite us to question beauty as an ideal, an industry, and a source of power.

Join us as we read, visit the exhibition, and come together for an evening of thoughtful conversation on the industry that has shaped history and the relationship with our bodies though gender, race, age, health, status and the pressures of an ideal of beauty on our digital age.
