The Yellow House of the Cabildo of Lanzarote hosts from this Friday, May 13 the exhibition "Futurible Present", a sample of the students of the Pancho Lasso Art School of Arrecife.
The exhibition has been inaugurated by the president of the Cabildo of Lanzarote, María Dolores Corujo, and by the Minister of Education, Youth and Equality and head of the management of La Casa Amarilla, Myriam Barros, who have been accompanied by the director of the Pancho Lasso Art School, Manuel Perdomo, and the curator of the exhibition and professor of the educational center, Pepe Vera.
"In 1913, more than a century ago, two major milestones occurred in Lanzarote. That year the Cabildo of Lanzarote was created and the School of Arts and Crafts was also created," Corujo recalled, expressing her satisfaction with the "happy coincidence" that both institutions have met again this Friday, at the former headquarters of the first island corporation, to inaugurate "Futurible Present".
"Congratulations for the knowledge you impart, for instructing renowned professionals, for allowing them to access qualified jobs, and for continuing to be a prominent part of the cultural and artistic life of the island," said the president of the Cabildo.
For her part, the Minister of Education, Youth and Equality of the first island corporation, Myriam Barros, explained that "it is the first time that the exhibition space of La Casa Amarilla is opened to an educational center" and assured that "it will not be the last". "Promoting, supporting and making visible the local talent of our young people and students is and will continue to be one of my priorities," she said.
Likewise, Barros also congratulated the Pancho Lasso School not only for the project inaugurated this Friday, but "for the work that has been carried out for more than a century in this center" which is "a benchmark in the teaching of artistic subjects".
Both the director of the Pancho Lasso Art School, Manuel Perdomo, and the curator of the exhibition, Pepe Vera, have expressed their gratitude to the Cabildo of Lanzarote for making this exhibition possible and have highlighted the work of the "true protagonists", who are the students of the educational center.
A utopian world that can be visited until September
"Futurible Present" is a project derived from the educational work carried out in several higher-level training cycles of the Pancho Lasso Art School, which brings together works from various artistic disciplines such as photography, design, illustration, comics, installation and audiovisual. An exhibition in which its young authors take us to a utopian world.
Seventeen years of volcanic eruptions on our island, a world war and the impact of a meteorite give way in this exhibition to a better, mutated, futurible world, because no one has more right to desire a different future than our young people.
The exhibition can be visited until next September at La Casa Amarilla of the Cabildo of Lanzarote, from Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 18:00 hours and Saturdays from 10:00 to 14:00 hours.
