On the occasion of the Vedruna Bicentenary, which we live under the motto “Generous love, inspiring mission”, the Vedruna Family launches an international campaign that invites all people linked to the charism to discover and share the various artistic representations of Joaquina de Vedruna present in the world.
M. Teresa Llach, who suggested collecting images of the foundress, and is now expanding to become an interprovincial project capable of uniting the entire Vedruna Family through art, memory and creativity.
An invitation to enhance the value of the Vedruna legacy through art
In many countries there are sculptures, paintings, stained glass windows, prints and other works that, over the years, have depicted the face and spirituality of Joaquina de Vedruna. The campaign seeks to make this diversity visible, to recognize the historical and cultural value of these representations and to create, in the long term, a shared image bank for the use of the entire international community.
How to participate?
All individuals and communities are invited to collaborate by sending their images:
- Sharing the photos on social networks (e.g. Facebook), following the indications of the official campaign poster.
- Sending the images by e-mail to: bicentenario@vedruna.org
In both cases, it is essential to indicate the exact location of the work (city and country).
A living mosaic of the Vedruna spirit
The objective of this initiative is to build, among all of us, a living mosaic that allows us to contemplate the richness with which the Vedruna charism has been reinterpreted in different places and cultural contexts. Each work of art, in its style and material, reflects a facet of the generous love and mission that Joaquina initiated and that today continues to inspire thousands of people around the world.
We invite the Vedruna Family to join this proposal that connects us, enriches us and prepares us to celebrate with greater depth the 200 years of life and mission.
This initiative is the result of collaboration with:
