Coexistence and conflict in cultural landscapes

The exhibition has been organized by the project itself and the Joan Reglá Humanities Library, in collaboration with Patricia Sancho Ferrer, a student of Hispanic Studies, and the Department of Art History of the University of Valencia.

Coexistence and conflict in cultural landscapes is an emerging educational innovation project (PIEE 2025–2026) coordinated by Encarna Montero Tortajada and Óscar Calvé Mascarell, professors in the Department of Art History at the University of Valencia, in which nearly 300 students have participated using diverse strategies.

It features 15 photographs, each accompanied by a brief explanation, selected from approximately one hundred submissions by students of the Art History degree program at the University of Valencia.

The aim is to stimulate constructive critical thinking in a world, the current one, defined by threats related to coexistence and/or conflict.

II Virtual Exhibition. Mothers, the marvel breaking the shadows: motherhood in Hispanic cultural production

The second virtual exhibition, “Mothers, the marvel breaking the shadow. Motherhood in Hispanic cultural production,” is part of a well-established line of research within the Master's Program in Advanced Hispanic Studies: Applications and Research (Department of Spanish Philology, University of Valencia). It arises, once again, from the critical debate developed in the classroom and the desire to share this knowledge with society.

Bodies of clay: representations of life through gesture in the work of Evarist Navarro

Navarro's creation arises from the earth, from the original material forged within it, from the clay dust mixed with water, from which the most primitive element draws strength in the hands of the one who inspires, understands, and desires it, without letting the dream of the wind carry it away. Clay summons a return to nature and the search for its essence as a spiritual experience. Touch, conveyed with attention and delicacy, acts upon the clay, transforming it into essence.

This research, by Professor Carmen Montiel Seguí of the Department of Art History, is part of the project "Traditions and Transgressions Regarding the Body in Contemporary Culture (19th-21st Centuries)" (CIGE/2023/44), funded by the Valencian Regional Government's Ministry of Education, Culture, Universities, and Employment. The exhibition was presented as part of the Activa Cultura competition (2024) at the University of Valencia. All photographs included are by the author, as is the theme music, "Cuerpos de barro" (Bodies of Clay).
