It all began in Malaga

On 25 October 1881, Pablo Picasso was born in Malaga (Andalusia), where he spent his childhood.Nowadays, the city of Malaga is one of the best places to learn about the artist, because you can visit both the Museo Picasso Málaga (featuring works such as "Olga Khokhlova in Mantilla", "Still Life with Skull and Three Sea Urchins" and "Jacqueline Sitting") and the Picasso Birthplace Museum. Both places frequently hold temporary exhibitions and in the Birthplace Museum you can also objects that belonged to the artist and his family, and sketches for Les Demoiselles d'Avignon.To round off the Picasso route through the city you can also stop by the Church of Santiago where Picasso was christened.

A Coruña. The artist's formative years

We are now heading to the north of Spain, to Galicia.This is an important part of the trip because this is where Picasso moved to in 1891 after his father was named professor at the school of Fine Arts. Perhaps this was the spark that lit the fuse because Picasso joined the school himself and started to paint his first portraits. In fact, the first time that the Malaga-born artist publicly exhibited his works was in A Coruña, and many of his recurring themes (doves, bulls, etc.) were already evident.There you can tour the places where the young Pablo enjoyed life in the city (Orzán beach, the Tower of Hercules, Rosalía de Castro Theatre, etc.) and visit the Picasso House Museum.

And suddenly, the Prado

It was in 1895 that Picasso stepped foot inside the Prado Museum in Madrid for the first time. This is one of the best museums in the world and we highly recommend visiting. His visit would mark a before and after because he was marked by the works of other great artists such as Velazquez and El Greco. At that time it was not to be expected that he would become the museum director in 1936.But if there is one unmissable place in Madrid where you can be surprised by Picasso once more, it is the Reina Sofía National Art Museum. You will find numerous works by the artist there. Among all of these works, the most iconic piece, which leaves viewers absolutely speechless, is "Guernica", a mural nearly 8 metres long, painted to bear witness to the horrors committed during the Spanish Civil War. It is a tragic scene that many see as a cry of hope. Did you know that he painted this masterpiece in Paris in 1937? In fact, Dora Maar photographed the evolution of the artwork until the moment it was installed in the Spanish Pavilion at the International Exhibition in Paris.

Barcelona and Horta de Sant Joan, in Catalonia

In the summer of 1895 Picasso joined the school of Fine Arts in Barcelona (La Llotja), later moving into his first studio and then holding the first personal exhibition of his works in the legendary Els Quatre Gats. Nowadays, a good way to learn about the artist is to visit the Picasso Museum in Barcelona, where you will be surprised by many of his works, including his interpretation of Las Meninas by Velazquez.About 200 km from Barcelona is Horta de Sant Joan, a small inland village where Picasso would often escape to and where he said he experienced his purest emotions. You cannot miss the Picasso Centre, which houses all of the works the artist created in Horta, immortalising the village. Travelling through Horta you will recognise some of the monuments that appear in his paintings, such as the San Salvador convent, the plaza de Missa or the Tafetans farmhouse.

In his celebrated collages, Richard Hamilton explored the relationship between fine art, product design, and popular culture, setting the stage for Pop art. His most iconic work, Just What Is it that Makes Today's Homes So Different, So Appealing? (1956)-a scene comprised of images cut from magazines ads, showing a semi-nude couple in their living space-was produced for the groundbreaking exhibition "This is Tomorrow," organized by the Independent Group at the Whitechapel Art Gallery in London in 1956. Throughout his career, Hamilton continued to break down hierarchies of artistic value, making silkscreens of Mick Jagger's drug arrest, producing studies of industrial design objects (like toasters), and designing the cover of the Beatles' 1968 White Album.

Art and activism converge in Africa's Out!, a dynamic new campaign created by Kenyan-born artist Wangechi Mutu to "change the way we all engage with Africa and, more specifically, the way in which Africans reach out to empower one another," the Brooklyn-based artist says.

Africa's Out! will take the form of exhibitions, events, performances and discussions, starting with a fundraising exhibition of work by more than 40 world-renowned artists, including Kehinde Wiley, Zanele Muholi, Cindy Sherman, Shirin Neshat, Julie Mehretu and Mutu herself at Gladstone Gallery in New York on 5 June. See the artworks.

The event will be a show of support and a celebration of the rights of African LGBTQI individuals - "since this issue is most urgent!" says Mutu.

When I conceived of Africa's Out!, the idea I had was that no one should be silenced, hidden, left behind or punished for their uniqueness and individuality.

"Africans everywhere should have their rights protected no matter who they are, and the recent criminalisation of gays in Africa is making it dangerous and impossible for many simply to exist," she says.

The exhibition will raise funds for UHAI - the East African Sexual Health and Rights Initiative, an indigenous activist fund that provides resources to support the rights of sexual minorities in East Africa.

Each artist has donated a piece in a strong show of support for sexual equality in Africa. Live musical performances by Solange Knowles, Cakes Da Killa, Venus X, DJ Cuppy and Electric Punanny will add lustre to the show's opening.

Mutu plans to produce other "beautiful radical events" for Africa's Out! to highlight Africa's diversity and multifaceted creativity.

Mutu gives the full back story behind her decision to dedicate the first iteration of Africa's Out! to speaking out about the persecution of sexual minorities in Africa:

"This event produced by Africa's Out! is very dear to my heart and was inspired both by Wanja Muguongo's work with UHAI EASHRI and also the public coming out of my close friend, writer/activist Binyavanga Wainaina. On January 18, 2014, through a symbolic letter to his mother published online, Binyavanga pronounced that he is gay. It was the 'lost' chapter of a book he'd published two years before, called One Day I'll Write About This Place, for which I helped design the cover. Only one week prior to Binyavanga's letter, former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan passed a flat-out anti-gay law, which makes same-sex relationships illegal, punishable with up to 14 years in prison. Uganda passed a similar law on February 24, 2014, punishing 'aggravated homosexuality' with life imprisonment (revised from an earlier proposal of the bill, in which individuals would receive the death penalty). With this sort of climate rampant throughout the continent and the world, our action is more important now than ever. I am so very proud of all the courageous artists and culture producers who have joined us in this effort - the first ever Africa's Out! fundraising benefit."
