The Human on Clay Feet in Regensburg: Compelling Exhibition at the Central Library

An exhibition that remains: Valencia in the sign of loss and hope

With “The Human on Clay Feet: The Flood Disaster in Valencia”, the Regensburg City Library presents an exhibition that touches, informs, and resonates long after. The photographs by Susana Galbis and Xiqi Yuwang focus on the storm disaster of October 2024 and reveal what numbers alone can never tell: human fates, destroyed infrastructure, and the force of an extreme event.

A visit to the exhibition with compelling imagery

In the reading hall of the central library at Haidplatz, a calm, focused space unfolds for engaging with a topic of high societal relevance. The exhibition combines documentary photography with a clear curatorial concept: proximity, rather than distance, shapes the event experience. Those who stop by here do not experience a loud event, but a quiet, intense cultural format with high informational value.

Why this exhibition deserves attention

The exhibition presents fragments of a human and material tragedy and places them in a larger context of climate, urban development, and resilience. Especially for visitors interested in art, documentary photography, societal issues, and urban crises, this event provides a strong target audience appeal. The event management of the city library focuses on open access to culture and knowledge.

Regensburg City Library as a suitable venue

The central library at Haidplatz in the Thon-Dittmer-Palais is an established exhibition venue and is well integrated into the Regensburg Old Town. According to the city of Regensburg, the central library has, among other things, an elevator to the first floor, a disabled toilet, an induction loop, and access via a inclined lift and elevator to the second floor. This makes the venue attractive and functional for a diverse audience.

The exhibition runs from 24.03.2026 to 09.05.2026. The festive opening takes place on 24.03.2026 at 19:30. Visitors can look forward to a quiet, impressive evening with strong cultural and societal relevance.
