Lola Montero presents Cadiz of 1812 with a different point of view.
She shows in the Benot Gallery the exposition “Arriving to Cadiz” (Arribando Cadiz) until 8th of January.

In the beginning of 1812 the most part of the Iberic peninsula was ocuppied by Napoleon’s troops. Cadiz was one of the unique places which resisted against the french army and was the place where the members of parliament met to proclame the Constitution. This document established the basis of the liberal democracy and it put the end to the class society of that time. This is the reason why the city became a symbol of freedom.
The exposition Arriving to Cadiz presents the capital of Cadiz with a point of view of the people who arrived to the city from the sea, in 1812. “What we want to do in this project is to reproduce the scenes which would have taken place in that time and situated them into a place of the city of Cadiz. Some of them did occur and some did not, in fact we have documents of some scenes”.
The exposition which is open until 8th of January is presented moreover with 10 acrylic pictures of “small ship from La Caleta”, explained Lola Montero.
