The Pilgrims’ Way to Santiago, the First European Cultural Itinerary, is a photo exhibition that will be displayed in three different venues in Mebourne as a project part of EUNIC (European Union National Institutes of Culture).
The Pilgrims’ Way to Santiago is one of the greatest treasures shared by all Europeans. Part of the cultural and moral heritage not only of the West but of the whole of mankind, this ancient route has been followed by millions of people from the Middle Ages until the present day.
The audiovisual exhibition Memories of a Pilgrimage reflects the recent journey made by photographer Manuel Valcárcel and musician Alejandro González, both native Galicians, along a pilgrimage route that boasts a long-standing history buried deep in the roots of tradition.
This exhibition portrays an intense journey filled with experiences that take us through Hungary, Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Italy, Northern Spain and along the Pilgrims’ Way in Galicia. A unique pilgrimage in which both artists show their sensitivity to towns, villages and routes that are steeped in cultural and religious tradition, bringing to the fore realities that often go unnoticed or unheard, drawing attention to situations and circumstances that impact directly on the lives of those that live along the pilgrimage ways, and the simple lifestyle of the towns and cities on the route.
Memories of a Pilgrimage is in essence an exhibition that reflects the cultural wealth of a Europe that has grown up around the Pilgrims’ Way to Santiago de Compostela and which is guaranteed to inspire a host of emotions and feelings in everyone that visits it.
The Goethe-Institute Australia is exhibiting a part of the large exhibition with pictures of the route in Hungary, Czech Republic, Austria and Spain.
