VAT. Guillem de Castro, 118
Quan is going to decree the general quarantine in the first wave of the coronavirus, with the supermarket shelves practically empty, more than one would notice that he wifi can't eat. But here is a city, Valencia, with a peri-urban vegetable garden that gives it great self-sufficiency possibilities, of food sovereignty, i what, apart from its practical side (food production) it is a great body of knowledge and a heritage treasure. That like many other features of the rural area, he is despised and stigmatized by the queen city decked out in cement and concrete. For that, Asuncion Molinos Gordo, a bourgeois daughter of peasants very aware of everything she owes to feminism and public education, claims the figure of the farmer as an intellectual, as a producer of knowledge, not just food. An example is the perfect work of engineering that the Arabs did in the Valencian vegetable garden, so carefully precise the layout of the ditches, which have remained as they are throughout the centuries. The artist erected walls of pressed earth at the IVAM following the tapial technique where we can see the different layers of the evolution of the Valencian vegetable garden throughout history. AU
