Art features in this year’s Adeje Summer University

As part of the Adeje Summer University a range of parallel activities can be enjoyed throughout the week, including several exhibitions, all open to the public, free of charge, until Friday 26th July. 

 

 ‘De lo real maravilloso’, by Conrado Díaz Ruíz, features a selected sample of paintings that comprise three decades of works with the same stylistic line - Magic Realism. There are works from the 1990s right up to this year, and the exhibition can been seen in the main hall of the Adeje Auditorium. 

 

 ‘Bold’ is a photography expo organised by the Carrera por la Vida/Walk for Life Foundation. It shows people affected by breast cancer with the aim of making visible the beauty and courage that women affected by this disease project. This is the work of the Dutch photographer Caroline Sikkenk. Playing with words, the exhibition is called ‘Bold’ because these women are not only ‘bald’, but above all ‘brave’, according to the artist. This exhibition is in the lower hall of the Adeje Auditorium. 

 

The public can also visit a retrospective of works of young fashion designers under the Tenerife Moda label. Visitors can see collections from David Moss, the 2024 young designer of the year. This competition is promoted by the Tenerife Cabildo’s business and fashion division and aims to encourage and promote the emergence of new talents in fashion design and textile manufacturing in Tenerife and to promote their creations.  The exhibition is in the hall of the Duke Shop Shopping Centre (The Duke Gallery).
