Miki Leal in conversation with Santiago Herrero
Spanish art inspires cooperation
Venue: Fundación Valentín de Madariaga y Oya
Read moreCulture as an engine for development and cultural cooperation is an essential instrument for the Spain brand. The Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID) reaches two million people in 130 countries and supports emerging artists, the conservation of cultural heritage and promotes the most contemporary artistic expressions.
To discuss this, Miki Leal will be in conversation with Santiago Herrero. Leal is a painter and artist of international renown whose art is characterised by fantasies and dreamlike expressions with pop influences. He has participated in many exhibitions in Spanish galleries and museums, as well as international spaces, such as Track 16 Gallery (Santa Monica, USA); Galerie Maribel López, (Berlin); 3+1 Arte Contemporánea, and the Real Academia de España en Roma (Italy). Leal will talk about his time in New York on a joint programme with AECID.
The diplomat Santiago Herrero has been an active, inspiring and provocative cultural agent for many years, both in the private like the public. His collaboration with the film director and producer Kike Maíllo has also allowed him to explore his role as an actor. Both discussed this experience at the Hay Festival in Segovia in 2023. He is currently director of Cultural and Scientific Relations at AECID.
There will be a reception at 13:00. The event will start afterwards.
