Lebrija opens the IX GastroArte Show on Sunday with 30 artists

The Sala de la Misericordia in Lebrija opens its doors on Sunday, November 8 at 12:00 to the IX GastroArte Exhibition, titled in this edition "Gen-27. Friendship and Equality". The exhibition can be visited until November 22. 30 artists from different Andalusian municipalities take part in the exhibition, including Sevilla, Lebrija, Dos Hermanas, Las Cabezas de San Juan, Jerez and Puerto Real. Their works cover painting, illustration, photography, sculpture and visual arts, and offer a contemporary look at the creative universe of the Generation of 27. The event is part of the centenary of the Generation of 27. In addition to bringing the legacy of its writers, artists and intellectuals closer to the public, the exhibition champions friendship, equality and shared creation.

One of the axes of the exhibition is the role of the women creators of the movement, known as Las Sinsombrero, whose contribution was relegated for decades. The exhibition pays special attention to figures such as María Zambrano, Concha Méndez, Maruja Mallo, Margarita Manso, Josefina de la Torre and Rosa Chacel. The proposal also underlines the link between Lebrija and the Generation of 27 through the Sevillian poet Fernando Villalón, closely related to the town and one of the references of this edition. The exhibition is organized by the Asociación Cultural GastroArte (GASF) with the collaboration of the Ayuntamiento de Lebrija and the Diputación de Sevilla, according to the Consistorio. To visit it, simply go to the Sala de la Misericordia between November 8 and 22.
