The exhibition "El arte de retener el tiempo" runs from 13 to 26 November. It showcases the work of the centre, which has been preserving, conserving and restoring the island's historically and culturally significant graphic documents for 25 years. It also highlights the importance of keeping memories alive, as preserved by archives, libraries and museums.
The symposium 'Jornada de conservación de patrimonios: encuentros con la comunidad' will take place on Friday 13 November. Experts from the fields of restoration, archives, libraries, museums and universities will give presentations and lead discussions. The morning begins at 9:00 with a reception and welcome. This will be followed by talks from Manuel Cubero Cid and Verónica Ojeda Jiménez from the centre itself, and then by Alicia Castillo from the Complutense University of Madrid on the Tajogaite volcanic eruption and the cultural heritage protection plan. Following the opening of the exhibition and a coffee break, there will be presentations by Elena Aguado (Madrid School of Conservation and Restoration), Carolina Ortega (National Historical Archive), Eva Tobal (Archivos de Galicia), Pilar García Serrano (Museo Reina Sofía) and Carolina Mai (Memorias y Patrimonio project, Valencia). The morning will conclude at around 13:50 with panel discussions.
In the afternoon, at 16:30, two parallel sessions will begin, each featuring short 15-minute presentations. Tagoror 1 will focus on experiences in the Canary Islands, with contributions from, amongst others, Lidia E. Romero Martín (University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria), Víctor M. Bello Jiménez (Archivo Histórico de Teguise) and shipbuilding researcher Daniel Rodríguez Zaragoza. Tagoror 2 will focus on experiences from La Palma, presented by José Policarpo Martín Cruz (Tijarafe Libraries), Rosa Aguado Jaubert (Real Sociedad Cosmológica), as well as Nieves L. Cabrera and Domingo Cabrera. At 19:00, there will be a summary of the proceedings, acknowledgements and the presentation of certificates of attendance. The event will conclude with socialising in the Patio and an evening of music.
