The gates of 16 courtyards in the city will be left open for the contemporary art exhibition “My Courtyard”, which features the works of 16 international artists displayed in a unique setting: the courtyards of Cordoba.
This original initiative in such an idyllic and traditional environment has been organised by the Rafael Botí Visual Arts Foundation and mixes private and public, tradition and novelty.
The principal aim of the show is to establish a dialogue between tradition and modernity as a means of raising national and international awareness about one of the most characteristic aspects of Cordoba’s heritage.
