Evolution

From 30 September 2026 to 28 March 2027

Evolution is a photography exhibition organised by the Spanish Society for Evolutionary Biology (SESBE), an organisation whose mission is to promote and disseminate knowledge of evolutionary biology across all its fields.

Through the lens of photographers Roberto García Roa, Alejandra Rendón, Gerard Carbonell, Jaime Culebras, Joan de la Malla, Joan A. Juárez and Merche Llobera, the exhibition offers a visual journey through the different evolutionary processes and stages that shape animal life and contribute to biodiversity.

The exhibition explores evolution from a range of perspectives. Habitat is presented as a true ecological theatre, where species interact with one another and with their surroundings. Coevolution is examined as a process of reciprocal development between organisms engaged in close relationships, while sexual selection, a term coined by Darwin, helps us understand the development of certain physical traits and behaviours associated with mate choice and reproduction.

The exhibition also explores social evolution, examining the forms of cooperation and interaction that have emerged among individuals. It concludes with a reflection on evolution in the Anthropocene and the impact of human activity on ecosystems and biodiversity.

Through photography, Evolution invites visitors to discover the diversity of strategies that have enabled living organisms to adapt, interact and transform, while encouraging reflection on our own place in the evolutionary history of the planet.
