The "La Fuente de Mojácar" Art Centre is hosting the "Sentido a la vida" (Meaning of Life) photography exhibition from the 16th to the 31st of October, an exhibition promoted by the Verdiblanca Association for People with Disabilities which invites people to reflect on functional diversity from a positive, vital and inclusive perspective.
The inauguration was attended by representatives of Verdiblanca, Mojácar residents and local authorities, among them the Culture Councillor, Noemí Linares, who highlighted the importance of welcoming projects that promote equality and social awareness through art.
“This exhibition is an example of how culture can be a powerful tool for building a more empathetic, aware and diverse society. Mojácar is proud to join this initiative which highlights people's abilities beyond any barriers,” Linares stressed during the inauguration.
‘Sentido a la vida’ was created as part of the commemorative activities for Verdiblanca's 40th anniversary and has already toured various municipalities in the province, as well as the headquarters of the Andalusian Parliament in Seville. Its creator, photographer Francisco Lagüera, offers a profound and humane vision of people with disabilities through his portraits, far from stereotypes and from a perspective of overcoming, beauty and hope.
“They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, but there are times when it's worth millions of words, because it conveys emotions, hopes, struggles, desires, skills and feelings,” explains Verdiblanca President Antonio Sánchez de Amo. The exhibition's spokesperson and coordinator, Pepa Morilla, adds, "this project conveys the hope of finding meaning in life, of enjoying and sharing it through diversity."
The exhibition can be visited Monday to Friday, from 10am to 2pm, at the ‘La Fuente de Mojácar’ Art Centre, offering both the Mojácar locals and visitors to the Levante area of Almería an artistic and emotional experience of great human value.
