Illustrator Pedro Oyarbide has created an alternative version of the iconic cover of La Riada, from the Blackwater saga, in a charitable print that honors the strength of the Valencian people. “We will rebuild. “No oblidarem”, we can read on the cover.
The screen print, in two inks, can be purchased on the website blackwaterambelpoble.com. All profits from the sale of the print will be donated to the Horta Sud Foundation.
“Like every Valencian citizen, I am absolutely devastated by the destruction that DANA has caused to our territory. In recent days, like many others, I have visited the disaster sites and contributed to the clean-up work in the affected towns. All this time, I couldn’t stop connecting what happened with the first cover of the saga, whose story begins just after a flood destroys the town of Perdido,” explained the artist.
Oyarbide wanted to “pay tribute to the many people who lost everything and to the thousands of Valencians who united and organized quickly in the face of the ineptitude, delay and terrible management of public administrations”. “Even though I come from Madrid, I also feel like I’m from here; These days, more than ever. Together we will rebuild. Together, we will not forget,” he added.
Somewhere there is something you need to read.
