Explore the symbolic iconography of the sacred in Spain and Portugal through its ritual representations.

The photographic exhibition Hispania Sacra invites us to explore the symbolic iconography of the sacred in Spain and Portugal through its ritual representations. The pagan heritage intertwines with the Catholic in an often strange and contradictory dialogue.

The photographs reveal rites that, although anchored in ancestral traditions, show an unusual face in their contemporary adaptation. This intertwining of the spiritual and its representation in public spaces confronts us with the complexity of our cultural identity.

By delving into these layers of meaning, images become a medium that reveals not only the essence of the territory but also the hidden narratives that connect us with a past that, despite its remoteness, decisively influences our present.
