META Miami presents:
AVE Doñana
artistic residencies, exhibitions, educational activities, art and science.
This initiative seeks to disseminate, through art, the importance of the Doñana National Park within the framework of the 60th anniversary of the Doñana Biological Station and the 30 years since its declaration as a World Heritage Site.
The Project
Conceived over a three-year period, it has the collaboration of the Doñana Biological Station and the Foundation for Biodiversity. Its curatorial concept includes an artistic residency in the Doñana reserve for a contemporary artist, intending to allow him or her to experience first-hand the biodiversity and ecosystems of Doñana, subsequently communicating his or her experience through a creative process and disseminating it in the international artistic sphere.

The exhibition will show a dialogue between the two artists, who will speak about biodiversity, the route of migratory birds, and the wetland as an ecosystem. It will take place from October 17, 2024, to February 12, 2025, at Patio de Banderas 16, the headquarters of the Biodiversity Foundation in Seville, with the support of the Estación Biológica Doñana-CSIC.

The project arises from the decades-long work carried out by the Maldonado family to protect territories in Venezuela with the advice of the Doñana Biological Station—CSIC.
The Maldonado family's connection with the Doñana Biological Station dates back to 1973 when the first steps were taken to create the Biological Station in Venezuela at Hato el Frío. The El Frío Biological Station became a reference point for artists, including film, photography and painting professionals, who captured the beauty of the region's wild nature in their works, thus contributing to making this environment known to the world.
