The exhibition invites us to reflect on the history of the grinding stone, the uses it has had, as well as its relationship with today’s food and customs, it is not to bring to memory a knowledge that was thought to be lost, but to update a worldview. that links everyday life to historical and social processes.

It is necessary to consider that the use of the grinding stone and its importance cannot only be addressed by considering it as a tool. Although contemporary grindstone manufacturing uses explosives, chisels and hammers, it is the older stonemason artisans who have also inherited the knowledge about the types of stones and the places to find them.

Four heirs, of different ages and experiences, relate their experience with the grinding stone that was inherited to them, and this is reinterpreted by Jenniffer Paiz, through paintings made on canvas with the ingredients found in ancient stones, in a current grinding stone.
