The exhibition focuses on the architectural structure, function and strategic location of the fort. It combines issues of power, enforcement, rebellion and hope to create a hybrid dialogue around contemporary socio-political remnants in states of anxiety, turmoil and a tendency towards change and social progress. The surprise of the rebellion is transferred to the voices of the visual works that come to coexist and establish themselves renewing their place of reception resurrecting it in a new field of renegotiation of history, cultural heritage and values ​​of collective identity and consciousness. The nomadic character of the uprisings, the naval battles is translated in the context of the nomadic project through visual visual signs as an act of resistance that expresses a state of rebellion to activate the emerging postmodern humanism.
