Every three months a local photographer will present his particular vision of the most iconic neighborhoods in the city, portraying his life and his neighbors
The neighborhood of Santa Eulalia, portrayed by Mar Sáez, is the protagonist of this first exhibition, which will be available until February 19 at El Jardín de los Dragones.
Under the name of 'Miradas', the new experience of Murcia Inspira and Cervezas Alhambra focuses on documentary photography.
Last night, the photographer from Murcia, Mar Sáez, opened the first exhibition of the cycle in the Garden of the Dragons, focusing on the corners and life of the iconic Santa Eulalia neighborhood.
Every three months, 'Miradas' will select a local photographer who will go through different areas and emblematic neighborhoods of Murcia, trapping the life of traditional businesses, markets, churches, squares, bars, terraces and, of course, the look of their neighbors.
In this first edition, Mar Sáez has stopped looking at the Barrio de Santa Eulalia.
During a generous period of time, the artist has become involved in the neighborhood, knowing its people, its architecture, its intricacies ... This is how it has taken the captures that describe the essence of this central and well-known neighborhood of Murcia.
The artist talked with the attendees about the experience of collecting the streets she grew up on and she has related what the photographs consist of, which the public will be able to visit until February 19, 2019.
"Through Miradas, Murcia Inspira provides an opportunity for the great photographers we have in the city to show us not only the most authentic neighborhoods of our cultural heritage, but their vision of what surrounds us: the vision of an artist who looks at reality through the viewfinder of his camera and brings us to another totally different world, to the people we meet on the street and to the life of our neighborhood ", explained the curator of Miradas and coordinator of Murcia Inspira, Aíta Salinas.
'Miradas' links Murcia photographers with a background in documentary photography to the future of life in the city.
The proposal of Cervezas Alhambra, which invites you to stop looking and observe in detail what the immediacy of everyday life prevents you from appreciating, puts the focus on the everyday to know it in depth and connect people with their environment.
The photographs, like the creations of the master brewers, are the result of knowledge and passion, are unique conceptions of the reality that surrounds us and that sometimes goes unnoticed before our eyes.
To close the calendar, 'Miradas' will hold a closing exhibition that will collect the images of the three previous exhibitions in a singular space of the city.
An event that will gather the photographers of Murcia and all their followers, always by the hand of Cervezas Alhambra.
Murcia Inspira materializes in an extensive mosaic of proposals around the cultural wealth of Murcia and its latent talent, and will discover other ways of looking at and doing things from the sensibility, giving room to local emerging artists who link tradition and avant-garde , that value the artisan from a contemporary perspective.
Also rediscover corners of Murcia seen under another prism, creating intimate moments, away from the crowd, allowing you to stop and enjoy the details calmly.
