"Remembering Miguel Hernandez who disappeared in the dark and remembering it in full light, is a duty of Spain, a duty of love."
Thus begins the letter that Pablo Neruda wrote in Paris in October 1960 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the birth of an oriolan poet.
The relationship between the two poets was a relationship of friendship and admiration that the La Mar de Músicas festival wants to remember with '7 + 7;
Pablo versus Miguel ', an emerging art project in which students from Asido and IES Ben Arabí from Cartagena have worked, precisely the year in which they celebrate 75 years of the death of the poet of Orihuela.
The exhibition, which will be inaugurated this Friday, July 7 at 8:00 p.m. in an event that will be attended by the Councilor for Youth and Archaeological Heritage, Ricardo Segado, and the Councilor for Culture, can be seen at the Archaeological Museum Of the city until August 31.
