The Rain Does Not Come From the Sky

Collegium · 2024

The exhibition Rain Does Not Come From the Sky is inspired by the local legend of the incorruptible fish, attributed to the miracle of purifying the Adaja River, this exhibition aims to contemplate water from the point of view of artistic practice.

It is said that the fish in the Adaja, a tributary of the Duero River that flows through Arévalo, are incorruptible due to a miracle of Saint Teresa of Jesus. This tale, deeply rooted in the area's folklore, serves as an inspiration to understand the symbolism and importance of water in different cultural contexts. The exhibition invites reflection on the interconnection between water and life and the contemporary challenges we face regarding the sustainable management of our water resources.
