This is a preview (a pre-announcement) of the exhibition that we were going to open this week (November 8, 2024): “Geomatics: Land | Law | Minerals”, by a multidisciplinary group of artists and other professionals dedicated to the territory, South Africans, a group directed by Jeannette Unite; an exhibition whose opening we have postponed given the situation we are experiencing with flooding and its consequences, especially in the southern part of the city of Valencia (beyond the new Turia riverbed) and in many other municipalities of l’Horta Sud district.
