As part of the events organised for its 20th anniversary, the Three Cultures Foundation becomes a meeting point for the Andalusian tradition, with the informative exhibition 'Letters from the South of Al-Andalus', an exhibition produced by the Andalusian Centre of Letters and curated by Virginia Luque which aims to promote knowledge and recognition of Andalusian knowledge, authors and works both for their contribution and their transcendence.
Letters from the South of Al-Andalus' offers the opportunity to discover a bibliographic selection in the fields of poetry, history, travel literature, philosophy, geography, food culture, medicine and agronomy, present in the Andalusian Public Library Network. These subjects form a common thread around seven thematic axes which will allow the public to delve into the Andalusian universe through its authors, in the form of attractive and familiar everyday images.
