Between the 1920s and 1940s, advancements in transportation made travel an accessible experience for the general public. This new horizon inspired numerous artists, who brought to life a unique genre of visual culture: tourism posters. In Spain, large-scale advertising in this field began in 1928 with the first major campaign of the National Tourism Board, under the direction of Pedro Salinas. A key figure of the Generation of '27—the movement that modernized Spanish poetry—the writer was also a pioneer in the visual arts. The exhibition "Imaginaries of Modernity (1920–1940): The Discovery of Travel", organized by the Instituto Cervantes and Turespaña, and curated by Violet Wang, brings together a selection of those posters that shaped an iconography that still fuels our travel fantasies today. Through a dialogue between images and the avant-garde poetry of the time, the exhibition also explores Shanghai's tourism posters from the same period, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in a dreamlike journey.
