María Gómez, artist and professior of Art History, has organised an exhibition dedicated to the reflection about The Silk Road and women, which will inaugurate this Friday, 08.07 at 20.30 pm in Hote Les Arenes. The exposition is a cultural-artistic event whose aim is to encourage initiatives of “artistic creation” connected with The Silk Road.
It is a series of gypsum sculptures, made with neither molds nor previous models, with a height between 70 and 90 centimeteres. This exposition is, according to the artist, “the starting point which will lead into other artistic spaces”.
