The Cultural Foundation of the Ibero-American University Foundation (FUNIBER) and the Universidad Europea del Atlántico (European University of the Atlantic, UNEATLANTICO), together with the Universidad Internacional Iberoamericana (Ibero-American International University, UNIB) of Puerto Rico and the Municipality of Carolina, recently inaugurated the exhibition “The Song of the Sun and Acrostic Wonders”, by renowned artist Joan Miró. The exhibition is on view at the Casa Escuté Museum in Carolina, Puerto Rico.
The opening ceremony was attended by UNIB’s rector, Dr. Carol Morales, as well as representatives from the region’s academic and cultural communities, who participated in this initiative to promote and disseminate art.
The exhibition brings together a total of 52 works spanning different creative periods in the artist’s career and will be open to the public through November 13. Among the pieces are lithographs from the series “The Wonders with Acrostic Variations in Miró’s Garden,” which evoke a poetic universe inspired by nature and the artist’s personal life.
Meanwhile, “The Canticle of the Sun” consists of 32 color etchings and aquatints created by Miró during the 1970s and inspired by the famous poem by Francis of Assisi. The collection offers a visual interpretation rich in symbolism and spirituality, establishing a link between art and literature.
Those interested can learn more about the exhibition “The Canticle of the Sun and the Acrostic Wonders” through the FUNIBER Cultural Foundation website.
This initiative reaffirms the joint commitment of the FUNIBER Cultural Foundation, UNEATLANTICO, and UNIB to promoting education, art, and culture. Through this collaboration with the Municipality of Carolina, the institutions are helping to bring universal artistic heritage closer to society, fostering access to culture, the exchange of knowledge, and the cultural enrichment of communities. Furthermore, UNIB’s participation strengthens the FUNIBER University Network’s connection to the development of cultural initiatives in Puerto Rico and the surrounding region.
