ABOUT THE PROJECT
Traveling exhibition dedicated to the legacy of Spanish engineering overseas between the 16th and 19th centuries, an exhibition on the role of engineers in the development of infrastructures, cities, and territories in America and the Philippines.
INSTITUTIONS
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, Spanish Embassy in the Philippines, CIES (Knowledge and Engineering in Spain), and the San Agustin Museum of Manila, Philippines
SPACE AND DATE
San Agustin Museum, Manila, Philippines. March 14, 2023
For the exhibition’s itinerary in Manila (Philippines), facsimiles of a selection of original documents and pieces were produced, allowing the exhibition narrative to be transferred without compromising their conservation. These reproductions ensured the visual fidelity of the materials and facilitated their presentation in the new context, making it possible to disseminate the content and the curatorial work beyond its original venue.
