The curator Lola Durán Úcar recreates, in the exhibition La Gran Bóveda de Aldeadávila (The Great Vault of Aldeadávila), the monumental work of the sculptor Pablo Serrano, who succeeded in harmonising nature and technology. Durán feels that now more than ever - with COVID-19 taking its toll - artistic creation is needed, because art can calm this widespread despondency. And she approaches the exhibit with this enthusiasm, so that the visitor can witness the commitment of its creator to the human race, its existence and its circumstances.
Spain and the Hispanic world played a decisive role in the independence of the United States of America, but few people are aware of this and, historically, few have acknowledged this contribution. That is why Iberdrola is promoting 'Unveiling Memories', a project led by José Manuel Guerrero Acosta, a historian specialising in this field. We spoke to him about the importance of reviving this shared history between the Hispanic world and the USA.

José Manuel Broto uses colour to evoke emotions and it is a feature that can provide — to these dark times — some relief, motivation and strength. The Zaragozan painter sees these times ahead for artists, too, but points out that adversity has never held back artistic creation.
