In line with the festivities of Finados, the ‘Hidden Canary Islands’ exhibition makes its debut in Granadilla de Abona, presenting a week-long exploration into the most intriguing mysteries of the archipelago.
Initiated by writer José Gregorio González and artist Joan Bells, the exhibition is hosted at El Secadero, where attendees can delve into mythical tales such as the Badajoz ravine, the mysterious vampire witches, the spectral San Borondon Island, or the unsettling narrative of Soul of Tacande.
Featuring meticulously crafted oil paintings paired with informative displays, the exhibition provides the audience with an in-depth understanding of these narratives and their significance in Canarian folklore. The inauguration, set for this Monday the 28th, will feature a panel discussion on the island’s enigmas and magical customs. González and Bells will present their insights alongside anthropologist Fernando Hernandez in a session that is bound to spark curiosity about the legendary origins of the Canary Islands.
Thanks to the support of the Granadilla de Abona City Council and the Platform in Defence of Heritage, the exhibition will be accessible for a week, offering a rare chance to uncover, through an artistic and documented lens, the profound mysteries that envelop the Canary archipelago.
