Andrea Mirón, a Master's Degree student, recounts the pathway they took in the Cantabrian capital.

On our first visit Santander, we visited the Botín Center, where Bárbara Rodríguez Muñoz, Director of Exhibitions and Collections, presented the conceptual narrative of this space, designed by architects Renzo Piano and Luis Vidal. The Botín Center proposes a constant dialogue between the city and nature, finding in the bay a point of convergence that symbolizes the meeting human beings and water. This vision transforms the building into a place that invites contemplation and reflection on our relationship with the natural environment.

The curatorial line of the Botín Center is designed to foster this connection, where art acts as a space of mediation between man and nature. Its exhibitions are characterized by a special sensitivity towards exchange connection with water, life, and landscape. A significant example of this proposal the exhibition Sections: Las olas perdidas (The Lost Waves), a performance installation by Daniel Fernández Pascual and Alon Schwabe. This work seeks to recover the sounds of waves that have disappeared as a result of various processes of human intervention, inviting viewers to reflect on the mark we leave on the environment and reminding us that we share the world with other forms of life affected by our actions.

During the tour, we got a close-up look at the exhibition spaces dedicated to artistic creation, designed to stimulate critical thinking and creative production.
