What the exhibition showcases
«Palimpsesto II. Anatolia, Hellas e Iberia: la memoria del Mediterráneo» is an artistic research project driven by the University of Zaragoza and the Fundación Universitaria Antonio Gargallo. The exhibition, which is itinerant, proposes viewing the Mediterranean as a cultural palimpsest: a space where historical layers—Byzantine, Ottoman, and Mudéjar—overlap and interact with the present. Through works by artists from Turkey, Greece, and Spain, it explores how these material and symbolic traces endure in contemporary identity.
Who is taking part
The exhibition is collective and international, though the names of the participating artists are not detailed in available sources. The project is coordinated by academic and cultural institutions with the aim of fostering dialogue among the three Mediterranean regions. It includes both visual works and an accompanying academic publication, as noted in the event description.
Opening hours and access
The exhibition will be open to visitors at the Centre Cultural Escorxador from 13 November 2026. Admission is free, with no prior booking required. The cultural centre, located in the Cabanyal-Canyamelar neighbourhood, occupies a restored space—a former 1910 slaughterhouse—that hosts cultural activities year-round, including workshops, concerts, and theatre.
