The exhibition has been co-produced jointly by the MUSAC and Fundación Cerezales, and it has just opened simultaneously in both institutions. Composed of more than a hundred pieces, the sample shows the intense work of curator previously done, that culminates with this exhibition
A collective exhibition that analyzes the transformation of the Leonese territory produced by the construction of large reservoirs during the 1970s and 1980s. The curators Bruno Marcos and Alfredo Puente have used as a storyline the novel «You will return to the Region», by Juan Benet, who, coincidentally, was one of the engineers who built the Porma dam, in the northwest of the province.

The exhibition entitled Regiçon (The Narratives). Changes in Landscape and the Politics of Water is the result of the research into how great hydraulic works have produced transformations in territory. It focuses especially on the reservoirs in the north east of the province of Leon, the Porma Reservoir and the Riaño Reservoir,the fiftieth and thirtieth anniversaries of which are commemorated respectively in 2017.
The project takes its title from the literary work Volverás a Región (1967) by Juan Benet (Madrid, Spain,1927-1993). The story is the conceptual starting point for the show.Benet, an engineer who built the dam of the River Porma in the Leonese valley of Vegamián, mythologisedin his novel the natural and human space that would be flooded under the waters, thus exemplifying the essential dilemma of these processes that make past and future, progress and memory antagonists.
The exhibition, installed in the galleries of the Fundación Cerezales Antonino y Cinia (FCAYC) and the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León (MUSAC) assembles materials of very different types. From pictorial works to archaeological remains, material from personal archives, press cut-outs, engineering plans, hitherto unpublished expropriation files, documentaries broadcast on television, hundred-year-old books on agricultural education, films, posters or photographs, besides the work of several important contemporary artists who have reflected on the subject.
