Taking as its basis the reality and the myth of the harem, the exhibition strikes a contrast between Western and Eastern iconographies. The various approaches reveal the role of women in Islamic society, and the fascination that the theme of the harem awoke in Western artists in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Western iconography is just one of the views presented in this exhibition. The other is, precisely, the viewpoint of the society which produced the harem. And, finally, the exhibition includes the gaze of contemporary women artists from that same society who, by means of their work, radically challenge the traditional view of women.
Get ready for Las Fallas
They build these giant satirical statues and have them on display until the 19th of March when they burn all of them. It's a fiesta worth checking out, and it';s not far away. Trains to Valencia can take anywhere from 3-5 1/2 hoursranging from 18-30 euros each way
