Spain’s China dream

The exhibition “El sueño español de China, 1845-1945” (Spain’s China Dream, 1845-1945) opened yesterday June 16 at Beijing’s Cervantes Institute. Curated by ALTER members David Martínez-Robles and Xavier Ortells-Nicolau, it features a number of documents, images and texts from the Spain-China Archive.

On the occasion of the exhibition, the Spanish Embassy has lent a portrait of Minister Bernardo de Cólogan, and journalist Ignacio Cembrero a family photo-album featuring his grandfather consul Vázquez Ferrer. 

The exhibit will run until August 31, after which it will be on display at the Miguel de Cervantes library in Shanghai.
