Cultural centre el Espolón hosts exhibitions and conferences on subterranean heritage

The cultural centre El Espolón in Comillas has announced its programme for November, which includes three exhibitions and a series of conferences dedicated to subterranean heritage. The exhibitions are titled ‘Ellas’ by Ángela Arozamena, ‘Sonámbulos’ by A. González-Corbalán, and an extension of the display by Cuqui Gutiérrez Sánchez.

Ángela Arozamena’s exhibition ‘Ellas’ presents female figures that explore identity and sensitivity. Arozamena, who trained in London, employs a free pictorial language where colour and symbols take centre stage.

The exhibition ‘Sonámbulos’ by A. González-Corbalán, available until 27 November, invites visitors to discover the beauty of the subterranean natural heritage through photographs taken in the Gándara Network. Each image features a QR code that narrates the story behind the photograph and aims to raise awareness about the conservation of these spaces.

The programme is completed by the extension of Cuqui Gutiérrez Sánchez’s exhibition, which combines painting and nature, using diverse techniques and materials to create landscapes inspired by her surroundings.

Additionally, a series of conferences on subterranean heritage will take place on Thursdays 12, 19, and 26 November at 19:00. The first talk, led by Daniel Ballesteros Posada, will discuss the origins of the caves. The second, presented by the Espeleo Club Ábrigu, will focus on the exploration of the caverns, while the final session, conducted by Manuel González Morales, will centre on the artistic and archaeological heritage found in the caves of Western Cantabria.

The Ayuntamiento de Comillas invites everyone to enjoy this diverse programme that combines art and scientific dissemination.
