A statement from the Government follows below:
As part of the new initiatives discussed, an art exhibition depicting the works of Gustavo Bacarisas and Cruz Herrera could be a project for 2022 featuring both the Gustavo Bacarisas Gallery and the Museo de Cruz Herrera. Other possibilities and exchanges were also discussed in literature, photography, and dance amongst other cultural genres. Both parties also agreed to create a transborder cultural working group with representatives from the Ministry of Culture and the Ayuntamiento, to explore these ideas and possibilities further.
