Duende - (a state of heightened emotion or expression)

During a visit to Madrid in December 2024 I spent an afternoon in El Retiro. I had just witnessed the thought provoking exhibition “In the troubled air” at Museo Reina Sofia, highlighting the poetic and political strength of innocence. “For the child, with her chaos and fears, often views the world better than the adult, crossing the surface of things and facing reality from an insubordinate ethos.” - Georges Didi Huberman
