On May 16 and 17 in Madrid, artist Sara Kamalvand will be giving two guided tours of her exhibition. Please sign up to attend.
The exhibition, organized with the cooperation of the Casa de Velázquez, with the support of the French Institute, analyzes the infrastructure of “qanats” or waterways in Madrid, not only from a technical perspective, but also by examining the cultural legacy from the origin of the network, when the Persian garden was invented, to its counterpart in Renaissance Spain.
Through her interpretation of these invisible ruins, Kamalvand undertakes the reconquest of a forgotten heritage and deciphers this urban palimpsest in search of the indestructible traces of societies that have succeeded each other in time and will continue to do so.
The tours will be given at 5:00 p.m. and will last no longer than one hour. The number of spaces is limited, so in order to participate you must sign up in advance using the following forms:
- Tour on Thursday, May 16
- Tour on Friday, May 17
The exhibition can be visited at the Casa Árabe headquarters in Madrid until Sunday, May 26. Afterwards, it will travel to the institution’s headquarters in Cordoba.
