The Department of Culture and Historical Heritage of the Government of Andalusia has joined FLORA to show its support for the cultural initiatives launched in this region.

For the fourth time, Museo Arqueológico de Córdoba will be one of the venues for FLORA, hosting a floral installation in its second patio, where the space will be reinterpreted from a plant-based perspective.

The Cordoba Provincial Council has joined FLORA, excited about the idea of fostering a budding dialogue between plant culture, which is so intimately tied to our sense of identity, and contemporary art, in a proposal that invites us to discover new languages and expressions that help expand the horizons of the well-rooted floral culture in Cordoba.

The Council shares FLORA’s commitment to the contemporary exploration of the multiple capacities of art based on the plant world, in the certainty that, as in previous editions, FLORA will successfully position Cordoba in a space of nature abuzz with creation.

Viana Palace has opened up its premises to contemporary floral creation, generating a unique space in which to smell, see and feel art. It is also offering visitors a sensory and historical tour of its spaces: Viana is home to five centuries of history, twelve patios and countless sensations.

In addition, Fundación CajaSur, together with FLORA, has announced its creative assistant programme, which enables 18 individuals with an interest in floral art to experience the Festival by working directly with the guest artists.

The Cordoba Cathedral Chapter, or Cabildo, is participating in FLORA for the first time in this 2021 edition, offering the iconic Patio de los Naranjos in the Cordoba Mosque-Cathedral as an inspirational space, where it will host one of the contemporary floral art installations in this year’s competition. Thus, the chapter institution continues its long tradition of service to society and culture in Cordoba, which it has been performing for eight centuries now.

Universidad Loyola has joined the FLORA Festival for the first time this year as an example of its firm commitment to the city of Cordoba and support for initiatives that bolster the city’s international image, particularly events like this one, in which sustainability plays a key role and art, culture and talent become intertwined with the deep-rooted floral tradition in Cordoba.
