OCAÑA, A TRANSGRESSOR AGAINST THE TIDE

A conversation between Pedro G. Romero, Nazario and Jordi Mayoral.

The character of Ocaña as a defender of rights and freedoms is inseparable from his figure as an artist. He was a brave and controversial character who symbolized the desire for freedom in the Barcelona of the seventies of the last century. Beyond strolling in drag along the Ramblas (as can be seen in the documentary by Ventura Pons), Ocaña declared himself an anarchist (he gave performances during the International Libertarian Days of the CNT in 1977 in the Parc Güell), and above all, a libertarian.

Thanks to the exhibition 'La Ocaña' at the Mayoral Gallery, from the Museum of Forbidden Art we also want to vindicate this artist who came up against censorship and prohibitions on several occasions. That's why this conversation between the artist and art critic Pedro G. Romero; the artist and friend of Ocaña, Nazario; and the gallery owner Jordi Mayoral.
