Connecting people through art 

We’re glad to announce the exhibition of Macho Mystic Meltdown; Chapter 2: Monster; She Wrote, by Natasha Tontey, at Museo Picasso, in Barcelona, in the context of LOOP Festival 2026, from 10 to 22 November 2026.

Macho Mystic Meltdown is an episodic anthology in the vein of The Twilight Zone, rooted in Minahasan Indigenous ancestral research but projected through a speculative, world-building lens. Each standalone episode adopts the iconography of the spaghetti western — dusty horizons, solitary figures, moral ambiguity — to reclaim the frontier as a postcolonial fable rather than a colonial fantasy of conquest.

Macho Mystic Meltdown; Chapter 2: Monster; She Wrote is produced by the Han Nefkens Foundation – Loop Barcelona Video Art Production Grant 2024, in collaboration with Art Hub Copenhagen; ILHAM Gallery, Kuala Lumpur; Inside-Out Art Museum, Beijing; MAXXI, Rome; MoCA, Taipei; MOT, Tokyo; and Museu Picasso Barcelona.
