VESANIART Art Gallery co-organizes together with the Three Cultures of the Mediterranean Foundation, the exhibition “Baja al Sur: Al-Andalus”, from April 15 to May 21, 2021, in Seville.

The exhibition opened in Switzerland, at the ICAM Institute of Arab and Mediterranean Culture in Geneva on 12 November 2020, remaining until 19 January 2021. ICAM collaborates with the development of the exhibition in Spain together with the Vice President for Culture of the University of Malaga.

The Three Cultures of the Mediterranean Foundation of Seville works for dialogue, peace and tolerance among the peoples of the Mediterranean, for the rapprochement between cultures; betting on art as a key tool for this.

The objective of the exhibition, curated by Nuria Delgado director of VESANIART, is to reflect through art on the richness of cultural mestizaje throughout history, highlighting the Andalusian legacy in Spain.

Al-Andalus whose footprint is still in force in Spain, was a period of maximum splendor in the Iberian Peninsula and especially in Andalusia, at the european forefront in science, philosophy, architecture, literature and music among others. Al-Andalus enjoyed an exemplary model of intercultural and religious coexistence, so threatened in our times.

The artists selected for the exhibition are: Abraham Benzadon, Ana Pavón, Daniel Garbade, Julia Diazdel, Kelly Fischer, Mar Aragón, Pedro Peña and Sebastián Navas. These 8 contemporary plastic artists thus reinterpret the Andalusian legacy with a look at the 21st century and various techniques: oil painting, gouache, acrylic, Chinese ink, watercolor, charcoal, digital photography intervened or sculpture in bronze and methacrylate.

Art as a universal language, dives into our history to get us excited again.

The exhibition project can be synthesized in the haiku of its commissioner:

South as a heartbeat

Al-Andalus as a memory

Art as a verb
