Conceived over a three-year period, the project has been developed in close collaboration with the Doñana Biological Station (CSIC) and the Foundation for Biodiversity (MITECO). Its curatorial vision centers on an artist-in-residence program within the Doñana Reserve, offering a contemporary artist the opportunity to experience firsthand the region’s extraordinary biodiversity and ecosystems. The residency encourages the artist to translate this immersive encounter into a creative process that both interprets and communicates Doñana’s essence within the broader international art context.

Since its inception, the AVE Doñana Project has established itself as a pioneering platform at the intersection of art, science, and environmental consciousness. Through a dynamic combination of artist residencies, scientific collaboration, and cultural dialogue, the project fosters innovative ways to perceive and protect the natural world.

The 2025–2026 program further expands this mission through an ambitious series of exhibitions, lectures, film screenings, and educational initiatives, underscoring the deep interconnections between artistic practice, scientific inquiry, and ecological reflection.
