Kintsugi: Healing is Not Linear

Friday, 27 November 2026 (10h) · Puerto de la Cruz

Kintsugi: Healing is Not Linear 27/11 - 10h

The exhibition 'Kintsugi: Healing is Not Linear' is being presented at the Instituto de Estudios Hispánicos de Canarias in Puerto de la Cruz. The exhibition applies the Japanese philosophy of kintsugi, the art of repairing broken ceramics, to fragmented bodies and their healing process.

The exhibition aims to reveal scars as iridescent and luminous elements, adding value to lived experiences and stripping pain, wounds, or grief of any stigma or shame. Through this visual symbolism, it is asserted that healing processes are neither linear nor simple, but rather navigate necessary ups and downs. On this path, the integration of suffering, self-acceptance, personal boundaries, and personal space are of vital importance for recovery.

If you're looking for cultural plans in Tenerife, don't miss this exhibition in Puerto de la Cruz on 27/11, an opportunity for reflection in the north of the island.
