The Parque Grande José Antonio Labordeta hosts the artistic and sensory exhibition “Live the Huerva,” an ephemeral installation in four shipping containers that invites citizens to immerse themselves in the ambitious comprehensive regeneration project of the Huerva River. Open until March 22, the exhibition combines multisensory experiences and participatory activities to raise awareness about this key intervention financed by European funds.
The Minister of Environment and Mobility, Tatiana Gaudes, and the Minister of Urban Planning, Víctor Serrano, inaugurated the exhibition, highlighting its educational role. Gaudes stated that the project will provide the city with new landscapes, parks, and better infrastructure. Serrano pointed out that they will stop viewing the river as an urban gap and will appreciate it as a living ecosystem.
The installation transforms the four containers into interactive spaces: sounds of water, aromas of native vegetation, and light displays that recreate the future landscape. One of them features the artistic intervention of Rebeca Zarza.
The outdoor space becomes a meeting point for talks, workshops, and temporary exhibitions, highlighting the children’s and family programming coordinated by Almozandia Teatro.
The exhibition complements other awareness initiatives such as guided walks, technical talks, and the information point at the municipal center Laín Entralgo.
The project—executed in partnership between the City Council of Zaragoza, the Government of Aragón, and the Biodiversity Foundation—totals almost 32 million euros. The first phase has already concluded; the second phase is ongoing until 2026, including a storm tank, network renovations, the removal of invasive species, and the creation of new parks.
With “Live the Huerva,” Zaragoza advances in its commitment to recovering biodiversity, improving water quality, and forging a new relationship with one of its emblematic rivers, aligning itself with European objectives.
