| The 145 images that make up the exhibition have been compiled in a catalog, for sale for 15 euros, whose profits will go to the Cartagena Food Bank | Confinement marked a before and after in our lives and completely changed priorities, making contact and socialization one of our main needs.
Something that the photographer Pablo S nchez del Valle has been able to perfectly reflect in his exhibition 'Confined Smiles', which he presented this Monday, December 21, together with the Councilor for the Culture Area, David Mart nez Noguera and the president of the Port Authority, Yolanda Muñoz. The project was born precisely from that need for contact, which led him to visit the municipality during those hard months visiting friends and acquaintances who showed their appreciation from their balconies and windows and has resulted in a sample consisting of 145 images distributed in 7 large format canvases. The councilor of the area, David Mart nez Noguera recalled that this exhibition is part of the aid that the Councilor for Culture has launched to reactivate the cultural sector of the municipality.
"We are very happy to be able to present this project this morning, which Pablo S nchez del Valle presented to us as a project to help our artists for the Covid" said the mayor. With this project, "not only did I catch those smiles in the different windows and balconies during confinement, but also because she has such a big heart she has decided that all the benefits of this catalog will go to the Food Bank ", explained Martínez Noguera. An exhibition that was managed as a social project and that maintains the solidarity aspect by allocating the benefits of its catalog, valued at 15 euros, to the Cartagena Food Bank, whose representative, Juan G mez Ayala, He accompanied the presentation, in which he wanted to show his gratitude to the Cartagena City Council and the Port Authority "for this significant and extraordinary project."

The artist explained that "windows have been in my mind from the beginning and it is a pride to be able to achieve what we have built with them, for me it has a common thread that takes us through them to what I have lived in the moments of confinement ".
