THE COLECCTION: DIALOGUES. VOLUME 3: THE RAIN DOES NOT COME FROM THE SKY
Collegium, Arévalo
From September 19 of 2024 to January 26 of 2025
Inês Zenha is part of the group show Rain Does Not Come From the Sky, which is the third edition of the series 'The Collection: Dialogues' that Collegium carries out annually with the works from its collection.
The exhibition 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 the 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. Through installations, photographs, videos, and historical documents, Rain Does Not Come From the Sky offers a diverse perspective on water's crucial role in our lives and the world we inhabit.
