EXHIBITION
JORDI BORRÀS
An exhibition by LA MIRA featuring photographs by Jordi Borràs
From 9 August to 26 October 2026. Museu de Gerri de la Sal
This exhibition is about amulets. About folk beliefs. About objects that, over generations, have protected our grandparents’ homes. About small everyday rituals that we still repeat without asking ourselves where they come from.
Why do we make a cross on bread before cutting it? Why do we hang certain objects behind a door? What do the symbols carved into some lintels mean?
The exhibition, with its significant ethnographic value, invites visitors to rediscover elements that are still found in many homes, as well as small everyday gestures and habits rooted in ancient folk beliefs. Traditionally, these have been used to protect homes and their inhabitants from illness, storms, bad luck and evil spirits.
PROTECT US FROM ALL EVIL.

Jordi Borràs: social photojournalism in the service of memory
Best known for his career as a photojournalist specialising in social issues and far-right movements in Catalonia and Europe, Jordi Borràs reveals a lesser-known side of his work in this exhibition.
For years, he has travelled through villages and farmhouses, particularly across the Pyrenees and other mountainous areas, seeking traces of a folk magic that still survives on doors, windows, rooftops and façades. The result is a unique documentary project that brings together photography, intangible heritage, anthropology and collective memory.
Organised by: Tabaca Film Fest, Museu de Gerri de la Sal and Ecomuseu de les Valls d’Àneu
