Curatorial context
The exhibition 'La Diversidad Amenazada. Naturaleza-Hombre-Cultura,' presented through a collection of 98 photographs by Eduardo Aznar and curated by Esteban Manrique, delves into the critical state of Earth's diverse ecosystems and cultures. It traces the planet's geological and biological evolution, the emergence of life, and the varied adaptations and cultural developments of humankind. The exhibition critically examines how human actions, driven by a desire to dominate the Earth for benefit, are depleting resources, causing pollution, and threatening irreversible, potentially disastrous changes.
The exhibition is structured into several sections, beginning with the Earth's continuous change and the diversity resulting from evolution, covering landscapes, fauna, and flora. It then explores human diversity across peoples, ethnicities, and cultures, and the transformation of environments through agriculture and fishing. Subsequent sections address vital resources like water, the impact of the Anthropocene with its rapid global environmental shifts, and the consequences of climate change. The exhibition concludes with a hopeful but urgent call to action, emphasizing that there is still time to prevent ecological catastrophe by taking necessary steps to protect our planet.
