Arcomadrid International Contemporary Art Fair

IFEMA Madrid
Avda. del Partenón, 5
28042 Madrid, Spain
Arcomadrid is Spain’s international contemporary art fair which, since 1982, has been one of the main art market platforms and an essential piece in the international circuit dedicated to the promotion and diffusion of artistic creation.
ARCO has two calendar dates: ARCOmadrid, which takes place in the Spanish capital in the month of February, and in recent years, ARCOlisboa, held in Lisbon in the month of May. Both fairs gather together galleries, artists, professionals, and institutions, converting the two capitals into epicenters of contemporary art and its market.
With a view to fostering collecting, research, and the promotion of contemporary art, Fundación ARCO was created in 1987.
A structure that complements the promotional nature of the International Contemporary Art Fair, ARCOmadrid and, by extension, ARCOlisboa, its activity revolves around bringing contemporary art closer.
Linder will exhibit artwork from the Hues of Freedom Collection during this art fair.
SELMA
Selma, Alabama, the city is best known for the 1960s civil rights movement and the Selma to Montgomery marches, beginning with "Bloody Sunday" in 1965 and ending with 25,000 people entering Montgomery at the end of the last march to press for voting rights. This activism generated national attention for social justice and that summer, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed by Congress to authorize federal oversight and enforcement of the constitutional rights of all American citizens.

The Stonewall uprising was a series of spontaneous protests by members of the gay community in response to a police raid that began in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Lower Manhattan in New York City. Patrons of the Stonewall, other Village lesbian and gay bars, and neighborhood street people fought back when the police became violent. The riots are widely considered the watershed event that transformed the gay liberation movement and the twentieth-century fight for LGBT rights in the United States.

Roe v. Wade, 1973, was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that the Constitution of the United States conferred the right to have an abortion. The decision struck down many federal and state abortion laws and caused an ongoing abortion debate in the United States about whether, or to what extent, abortion should be legal, who should decide the legality of abortion, and what the role of moral and religious views in the political sphere should be. The decision also shaped the debate concerning which methods the Supreme Court should use in constitutional adjudication.
