Stories that sustain us

Start of the Repairing the Mar Menor project

Next November 21, the Balneario La Encarnación of Los Alcázares It will host the opening day of Reparar Mar Menor, a new event that invites us to imagine, through art and citizen participation, other ways of relating to the Mar Menor and the people who inhabit it.

Every transformation process begins with a desire, and to discover what we desire, we need to meet, listen, and recover the stories that link us to this territory. That is why this first day proposes bringing us closer to the Mar Menor through memory, culture, and artistic creation, by exploring some of the voices and expressions that have found in its waters and landscapes a source of inspiration. A walk through its history and literature, and a scenic proposal that recovers the popular memory of the women of the miners of the Sierra Minera will invite us to discover other ways of looking at and feeling this territory.

It will be a morning to share gazes, awaken questions, and begin to build a collective aspiration. Repairing the Mar Menor is not just about thinking about its ecological recovery; it is also about how we want to inhabit it, care for it, and live with it. What do we want for the sea that we share? What can we imagine together that is yet to come?
