Exhibition: the food that unites us, photographs from Senegal, Bolivia and Cuba

Through the photography exhibition “The Food That Unites Us,” the Center for Rural Studies and International Agriculture (CERAI) offers a visual journey through the countries of Senegal, Bolivia, and Cuba. These three countries are united by a common challenge: guaranteeing their communities’ right to sustainable and decent food.

The exhibition can be visited from October 4 to 13, from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., at the Student Recreation Centre of the Polytechnic University of Valencia.

Visitors will delve into the daily lives of farmers who work the land in very different contexts, but with a common commitment: to cultivate food that nourishes not only their bodies but also the culture and identity of their people.

The images show the hands that sow, the local markets where producers and consumers meet, and the landscapes that sustain an increasingly threatened agricultural diversity. The exhibition invites us to reflect on food sovereignty and the need to recognize and protect the work of those who make our daily food possible.

The images are by Bolivian photographer Sara Aliaga, Cuban photographer Claudio Peláez, and Spanish photographer Marta Moreiras.

Konngol Rewbe art exhibition

Today, the exhibition of the AIDA NGO was inaugurated, presenting the Konngol Rewbe art exhibition created from a photo exhibition of women from the rural world of Kolda, in southern Senegal.

A group of artists have reinterpreted these images of women and created works of art to share their message with other women around the world, thus fostering a network of mutual support in the fight for a more just and egalitarian world.

The exhibition is located in the lobby of the first floor of the Student House, and can be visited until October 2, at the opening hours of the building.
